Career Triple Doubles: 28
Michael Jordan was a former professional basketball player who is often considered one of the greatest players of all time. In his 15 seasons, Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Bullets. Jordan won six NBA championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998), cementing the Bulls as one of the greatest NBA dynasties in basketball history. Jordan cemented himself as one of the greatest in NBA Finals history, never losing in his six appearances, never allowing a series to go to a Game 7, and winning NBA Finals MVP every time.
During Jordan’s career, he netted 28 triple doubles, a relatively rare feat in the NBA where a single player logs at least ten points, ten rebounds, and ten assists. During Jordan’s era, triple doubles were at a premium. Today, players are getting triple doubles at a much faster pace with the increased offensive dominance of the league. On St. Patrick’s Day in 2022, a record six NBA players recorded triple doubles in one day, a new record. The previous record was five in a single day.
