Three seasons ago Russell Westbrook broke the Triple doubles record, and since then Jokić had 74 triple doubles and on pace to break the record again (alien.top)

A record that was once difficult to match will probably be broken again in a year or two. It's amazing how Jokić became that dominant in the last three years.

People hate on Westbrook and call him a “stat-padder” but didn’t he win like 70% of games he got a triple double in?

The rebounds were the stat padding. Steven Adams would box out for him but not go for the ball. It was a good strat because it got the ball up the floor quicker

Someone did the numbers and found out that a triple double was a better signifier for wins for Russ than him keeping turnovers down (it was in a YouTube video, it was something like he had a higher win % in games with a triple double than games with 3 or less turnovers)
