Averaging a triple-double for a full season is one of basketball's most exclusive statistical clubs. Oscar Robertson did it in 1961-62, and it took 55 years before Russell Westbrook matched the feat. Nikola Jokic has since come agonizingly close multiple times.

#	Name	Apg	Ppg	Rpg	Season
1	Oscar Robertson 1961-62 Cincinnati Royals — 30.8 / 12.5 / 11.4 Robertson averaged 30.8 PPG, 12.5 RPG and 11.4 APG for the entire season, the first player to average a triple-double across a full year.	11.4	30.8	12.5	1961-62
2	Russell Westbrook 2016-17 Oklahoma City Thunder — 31.6 / 10.7 / 10.4 Westbrook averaged 31.6 PPG, 10.7 RPG and 10.4 APG to win MVP and become the first player since Robertson to average a full triple-double.	10.4	31.6	10.7	2016-17
3	Russell Westbrook 2017-18 Oklahoma City Thunder — 25.4 / 10.1 / 10.3 Westbrook followed up with another triple-double average the following year, becoming the first player since Robertson to do it in consecutive seasons.	10.3	25.4	10.1	2017-18
4	Russell Westbrook 2018-19 Houston Rockets — 27.2 / 11.0 / 10.7 Westbrook averaged his third consecutive season triple-double after being traded to Houston, a truly historic run of all-around statistical dominance.	10.7	27.2	11	2018-19
5	Russell Westbrook 2019-20 Houston Rockets — 27.2 / 7.9 / 10.7 Westbrook posted a fourth triple-double average season before being traded mid-season, the only player other than Robertson to achieve this feat.	10.7	27.2	7.9	2019-20
6	Nikola Jokic 2021-22 Denver Nuggets — 27.1 / 13.8 / 7.9 Jokic averaged 27.1 PPG, 13.8 RPG and 7.9 APG in his second MVP season, the closest a center has come to a triple-double average in decades.	7.9	27.1	13.8	2021-22
7	Nikola Jokic 2023-24 Denver Nuggets — 26.4 / 12.4 / 9.0 Jokic averaged 26.4 PPG, 12.4 RPG and 9.0 APG in his third MVP season, again approaching the triple-double average threshold.	9	26.4	12.4	2023-24

10	Oscar Robertson 1964-65 Cincinnati Royals — 30.4 / 9.0 / 11.5 Robertson averaged another near triple-double with 30.4 PPG, 9.0 RPG and 11.5 APG, one of several seasons where he maintained extraordinary all-around dominance.	11.5	30.4	9	1964-65
