The 'NBA triple-double leaders' quiz

It isn’t a secret that LeBron James is the most powerful and influential player in the NBA – but as the world waits for his free agency decision, commissioner Adam Silver said the quiet part out loud. 

“I would like him to make his announcement already, so we can finish the schedule,” Silver said at the Game Plan Summit in Brooklyn on July 16.

“It will influence how we set the schedule for opening week, Christmas Day. So I need him to make a decision.”

But as of July 17, James still wasn’t ready to make any more “Decisions.” Since it became clear LeBron would go to free agency, just about every market has come up with a reason they could woo James. Some have more merit – like a union with fellow-legend Steph Curry in Golden State or returns to Miami or Cleveland. But others – like his love for Bojangles fried chicken luring him to Charlotte – are a bit of a stretch. 

Despite missing the first 14 games of the season while dealing with sciatica, James still averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 33.2 minutes-per-game. While he won’t be signing anywhere long-term at 41, he showed he can still be a very productive player wherever he goes. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. In his 23rd NBA campaign, James recorded three triple-doubles to bring his career-total to 125 which is good for fifth all-time. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with at least 20 triple-doubles in their NBA career? 

Good luck!
