James, who has been known as the future league appearance since his debut in the NBA, is also the famous Magic Johnson. Obviously, he did not disappoint scouts and fans. He averaged 20+5+5 per game in his rookie season. After that, James made great progress, averaging 27+7+7 in the second year of his career, and then he averaged 31+7+6 in the third year.

4. Magic Johnson (139 times)

Average of 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 1.9 steals in his career

As the former "savior" of the NBA, the arrival of Magic Johnson has greatly increased the league's ratings, which is also due to his strong personal strength and gorgeous playing style. The Magic, who averaged 18 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game in the rookie season, helped the Lakers win the championship in the first year, and he also became the youngest FMVP in NBA history. In the last game of the finals, he even scored an excellent performance of 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists in a single game.

Later, the Magic stepped forward to the league's best point guard and even the first player in the league. During this period, he led the Lakers to win many championships, and personally won many MVP, FMVP, assist king, and best team honors. By the 1990-1991 season, the 31-year-old Magic averaged 19.4 points, 7 rebounds and 12.5 assists per game.

3. Nikola Jokic (164 times)

Average of 21.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.3 steals in his career, Jokic, who was born in the second round, obviously would not have so many fans pay attention to his performance in the early stage of his career, but in fact, his performance in the rookie season was very impressive. In the first year, he averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1 steal, so he squeezed out Nurkic and became the team's stable starter. Later, under the training of the Nuggets, Jokic has been steadily improving. In the 2018-2019 season, he was selected into the All-First Team for the first time with his average of 20.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.4 steals.

Since 2021, Jokic has completely reached its peak. In the years since, he has won three MVPs, and in 2023 he also led the Nuggets to win the championship. This season, Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, thus becoming the first player to achieve this feat since Robertson and Westbrook. Considering that he is only 30 years old, his triple-double numbers are not without surpassing these two predecessors..

2. Oscar Robertson (181 times)

Average of 25.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists in his career

As the first player in NBA history to average triple-double per game, Robertson played this performance in the second year. In that season, he averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 11.4 assists per game. Later, Robertson averaged at least 30+6+10 per game for four consecutive seasons, so his triple-double accumulated very quickly. At the end of his career, he transferred to the Bucks. Here, due to the reduction in ball rights, his data was not so gorgeous, but his team-up with Jabbar also allowed him to win a championship ring.

1. Russell Westbrook (203 times)

Average of 21.2 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.6 steals in his career

Westbrook was already very comprehensive in the guards at the beginning of his career, but at that time his performance in this area was not particularly outstanding. Until Westbrook began to become the leader of the team in the 2016-2017 season, he completely ushered in an explosion. After that, Westbrook averaged triple-double per game for three consecutive seasons. In his best performance, he averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game. Later, he achieved a triple-double per game in the fourth season in the Wizards. Now Westbrook's total triple-double has exceeded 200 times, so he is still the only one at the moment, but considering his age, it will be difficult for him to continue to improve in this area in the future.
