Russell Westbrook"},"content":{"rendered":"

When discussing NBA<\/a> records, names like Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant immediately come to mind for most fans. However, amidst these legends, there are players who have managed to carve out their own unique place in NBA history. Denver Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook is one such player, achieving a milestone that no other superstar is even close to matching.<\/p>

On Tuesday, the 36-year-old veteran guard became the first player in NBA history to record 200 triple-doubles<\/a>. He reached this historic milestone during the Nuggets’ victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. <\/p>

Following Westbrook’s historic milestone, let’s take a look at the top five NBA players with the most triple-doubles in history:<\/p>

5. LeBron James<\/strong><\/h2>

LeBron James, the all-time leading scorer in NBA history, is also among the top five in recording triple-doubles. The 39-year-old Lakers star recently set a new record with four consecutive triple-doubles. He has 117 career triple-doubles and given his current form, he has a real opportunity to finish his career among the top three on the all-time triple-double list. <\/p>

4. Nikola Jokic<\/h2>

The Serbian center has quickly established himself as one of the greatest passing big men in NBA history. With 136 triple-doubles, Jokic’s unique skill set has revolutionized the way the center position is played.<\/p>

3. Magic Johnson:<\/h2>

The legendary point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, Magic Johnson, is third on the list with 138 triple-doubles. His court vision, passing ability, and scoring prowess made him one of the most dominant point guards in the history of the league.<\/p>

2. Oscar Robertson:<\/h2>

The “Big O” was a pioneer of the triple-double. He recorded 181 triple-doubles during his illustrious career. <\/p>

1. Russell Westbrook: <\/h2>

Westbrook holds the record for the most triple-doubles in NBA history with a staggering 200. The 36-year-old is the only player to hit the 200 mark in triple-doubles and with Westbrook still in best shape, it is likely he will hold the record for many years to come.<\/p>
