Luka Doncic has now tied LeBron James for the third-most 30-point triple-doubles in NBA history, achieving his 37th with a stellar 33-point, 13-rebound, and 10-assist performance. This accomplishment, though based on the somewhat arbitrary 30-point threshold, highlights elite-level scoring.
What’s truly remarkable is the speed at which Doncic has reached this milestone—37 such games in just 365 career appearances, exceeding a 10% rate. Comparing this to other NBA greats, he stands out, with only Oscar Robertson boasting a higher rate but over nearly triple the number of games played.While acknowledging the statistical anomaly, it’s important to note Doncic’s fewer games played compared to others on the list, raising the possibility of regression to the meаn. Nevertheless, his consistent, almost effortless performances over the past six years underscore the rarity of his talent when compared to the all-time greats.
