Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird was one of the most talented players the NBA has ever seen. Larry Bird, along with Magic Johnson, was the face of the NBA in the 1980s and he is the only player to have won the league MVP three times in a row.

Larry Bird was a triple-double threat every time he stepped on the floor as his height allowed him to play the forward position yet he moved like a guard earning him the title of "point-forward". Bird was such a talented player that is he is the only player on this list also featuring in the "50-40-90 club".

#6 Wilt Chamberlain - 78

It was inevitable for "King James" to be on this list. He is often regarded as the best player in the league and is the only active player with four NBA titles. LeBron James is a four-time league MVP, four-time Finals MVP, and a 16-time All-Star. He has the most points in NBA playoff history and is third all-time in regular season points.

Although 5th on this list, we all know him for being his best when it matters most. LeBron James has the most Finals triple-doubles and the second-most playoff triple-doubles, trailing the leader by just two. James is entering his 18th season in the NBA and his tally of triple-doubles is likely to go up.
