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 revered triple doubles before Westbrook started getting them every game... Media people who pretend like they didn't matter are lying. It was a huge deal when players got them because of how rare it was- to even get more than 10 in a season was crazy.

Jason Kidd was an outlier because of how often he got them; then Westbrook just changed everything. The issue is that he was for sure stat padding to do it, taking rebounds from Steven Adams and such. It's still an insane feat to avg a triple double 3 times.
