The NBA is the most prestigious basketball league in the world, where 30 teams battle for the Larry O’Brien trophy. According to multiple online sources, it is the fourth wealthiest sports league in the world and the third in the USA after the NFL and MLB.

The NBA started keeping track of the triple-double statistic in the 1979 - 1980 season. A triple-double is a single-game stat, which occurs when a player records double digits in three of five categories — points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals. As of May 2025, only 29 players have recorded more than 20 triple-doubles in their careers. Below is the list of the players with the most triple-doubles in NBA history.
