A basketball term, defined as an individual performance in a game in which a player accumulates double-digit totals (i.e., 10 or more) in any three of these categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. The most common way for a player to achieve a triple-double is with points, rebounds, and assists, though on occasion elite defensive players may record 10 or more steals or blocked shots in a game. The term itself was coined by renowned Philadelphia 76ers statistical guru Harvey Pollack.
LeBron almost had a triple dip last night. He just needed one more assist.
