Giannis' Development

[Wisky4life]

178 games to catch Oscar. Need to change the thread title to a countdown.

To catch Oscar on what please?
Some kind of TD record for the Bucks?

Oscar Robertson all time Triple doubles record in career. 181.

Damn that seems a lot even for Giannis but I guess since he started playing from 18y old he has the time and the thousand of games to catch him.

20 a year starting next year? That's an unbelievable stat. Big O, phenomenal!

Kidd mentions a 3pt shot for Giannis..... Interesting.

[Magic Giannison]

Dear Giannis God, today il **** the brains out of my wife and you're the reason, thank you once more, il never doubt you ( lol,like i ever did )

[blazza18]

He's still leaving a good 3-4 easy buckets on the floor with his sometimes poor touch inside the paint. It's scary how good he can be with more development.

A serious post from the troll forum.

After the all-star break Kidd starts him at the point, and essentially let him run the team.

And he has been impressively efficient, despite his inexperience and young age. Maybe he is the PG Bucks were looking for after all.


His numbers in the last 7 games:

20.3 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 8.7 apg (2.7 tpg), 2.1 spg, 2.3 bpg, with 3 triple doubles

Just SICK...

[yannisk]

still behind MCW in career triple doubles

[Prince12]

The coming out party of the young three post all star break is becoming easily the most exciting period ive had as a bucks fan and its despite losses being the better result for the team right now.

At this point, I almost expect a triple double every time he plays. It's crazy. He is in some very rare company if he could keep up these stats for an entire season.

A season is crazy, but what if he could even do this for a month? How many players have done that?

Well I found this:

Russell Westbrook's historic February

Russell Westbrook is the second player to average 30 PPG, 9 RPG and 10 APG in a calendar month.

Russell Westbrook recorded his third straight triple-double on Friday night, albeit in a losing effort to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard just finished a month in which he posted four triple-doubles and did something only one player in NBA history has ever done. Here’s what you need to know about his historic February.

Triple-double machine in February

Russell Westbrook’s three straight triple-doubles to close the month make him the first player to do that since LeBron James in March 2009. In fact, he’s only the fourth player in the past 20 years to record three straight triple-doubles, joining James, Jason Kidd and Grant Hill.
Three Straight Triple-Doubles
Past 20 Seasons

Westbrook finished the month with four triple-doubles, more than any other player has this season.

Westbrook joins Big O

Russell Westbrook finished the month of February averaging 31.2 PPG, 9.1 RPG and 10.3 APG in 12 games. He’s just the second player in NBA history to average 30 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists per game for a calendar month with at least 10 games played. He joins Oscar Robertson, who had eight such months in his career.

Big nights without Durant

Kevin Durant missed seven games in February and Westbrook elevated his game to cover KD’s absence. He averaged a triple-double when Durant was out in February, averaging 31.2 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 11.3 APG in the seven games he missed.

Westbrook’s 20-10 games

Westbrook has at least 20 points and 10 assists in six straight games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other active player who has put together a streak like that is Chris Paul, who had a seven-game streak in 2008-09 for New Orleans.

Giannis is going to be on this list eventually. Best Triple doubles. Also they have the ONLY 4 Quad doubles in history.


I totally think Giannis could do a 25/20/15/5 and maybe someday could actually achieve a quad double. Playing Point forward on O, and playing Center on D, he could get a quad double, it is extremely rare but...you never know... Wilt is the only to ever accomplish the 20/20/20, with Giannis anything is possible, might need a triple overtime to do it, but with Giannis there is a that slight rare possibility. He has no limitations.

NBA PM: Best Triple-Doubles in NBA History

What Russell Westbrook has done over the course of the last month has been nothing short of incredible, posting triple-doubles in four consecutive games, taking a night off (where he only scored 43 points, hauled in eight rebounds and dished out seven assists), then putting up a fifth triple-double in six nights.

Even more incredible, however, has been the way Westbrook has been stuffing the stats. His triple-double against the Philadelphia 76ers on March 4, for example, included career-highs both for scoring and rebounding.

So where does Westbrook’s best triple-double rank among the most incredible statistical nights in NBA history? Here’s a look at the most impressive triple-doubles the NBA has ever seen:

Top Five Triple-Doubles:

#5 – Russell Westbrook (2015): 49 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists To be totally fair, there aren’t a lot of current NBA All-Stars that couldn’t hang a huge game on the Philadelphia 76ers, but this was a historically incredible showing that included career-highs in both points and boards. It also was part of the aforementioned streak of triple-doubles, which further cements its place in history.

#4 – Fat Lever (1988): 31 points, 16 rebounds, 20 assists, 6 steals – Believe it or not, Lever is actually sixth on the all-time list for most career triple-doubles with 43 of them over the course of his 11-year career, more than LeBron James or Michael Jordan. He also once had a triple-double with 23 assists, the most ever recorded in a 3-D. Younger fans may never have heard of the guy, but don’t be fooled by the silly name – Lever was one of the more underrated guards of the 1980s, as evidenced by this ridiculous triple-double and the other 42 he recorded before retiring in 1994.

#3 – Shaquille O’Neal (1993): 24 points, 28 rebounds, 15 blocks – The 28 boards and 15 blocks are both career-highs for one of the best centers in the history of the game, so to have accomplished them both in the same night is pretty unbelievable. That he added 24 points and logged a monster triple-double in just his second season as a pro makes it an even more memorable performance.

#2 – Hakeem Olajuwon (1990): 29 points, 18 rebounds, 11 blocks, 9 assists – One of only four players to have ever recorded a quadruple-double, Olajuwon fell one assist shy of being the only NBA player in history to have recorded two of them. In reality, Olajuwon finished the game with 10 assists, so when it had ended people thought they’d witnessed one of the rarest occurrences in the history of the game. However, that assist was later rescinded, and Olajuwon had his first quadruple-double stricken from the record, demoted to a mere monster triple-double. Thankfully, his actual quadruple-double came less than a month later, which means he was not only close to being the only guy to ever have two of them, but two of them in the same season.

#1 – Wilt Chamberlain (1968): 22 points, 25 rebounds, 21 assists – It makes sense that the guy who owns about half of the league’s most prestigious statistical records would also have been responsible for the craziest triple-double ever. It’s the only double triple-double in league history, if that’s even what we’d call a 20-20-20 game. Chamberlain was obsessed with stats while he was playing, so he was most likely well aware of what he was doing while he was doing it, but the fact he was physically capable of getting this done is insane. It’s hard imagining this happening again.

Honorable Mention:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1975): 50 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists – Only once in the history of the game has a player scored 50 points as part of a triple-double, and this is it. It would’ve been topped in February of 2009 had the league not taken away one of LeBron James’s rebounds in a game where he also scored 52 points and dished out 11 dimes. But since we can’t count that, we turn to Kareem, who certainly is deserving of at least honorable mention.

Michael Ray Richardson (1985): 38 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 9 steals – This one also just barely the missed the list. Richardson was one of the league’s biggest tragedies; it’s crazy to think what he could have accomplished had he not lost so much of his career to drug abuse.

Larry Bird (1992): 49 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists – It took two overtimes to do it, but this game was nationally televised, and many call it Bird’s “last great game.”

Tracy McGrady (2003): 46 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists – Of all the big games McGrady had over the course of his career, this was the biggest.

Michael Jordan (1989): 47 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists – This was one of three times Jordan scored 40 or more points as part of a triple-double. Westbrook, for what it’s worth, has done that twice in the last month.

Vince Carter (2007): 46 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists – Jason Kidd also had a triple-double in this game, the first time since 1989 that two teammates recorded a triple-double in the same game.

Michael Adams (1991): 45 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds – At 5’11, Adams was the shortest player to ever record a triple-double, though Isaiah Thomas certainly provides hope for someone to break that record.

LeBron James (2006): 43 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists – Currently seventh in career triple-doubles, James will almost certainly move up the list before his career is all said and done.

Hakeem Olajuwon (1987): 38 points, 17 rebounds, 12 blocks, 6 assists, 7 steals – This is the closest to a quintuple-double that anyone’s ever come. Of course it’d be Hakeem.

Quadruple-Doubles

There aren’t enough of them to make a list, but here are the four quadruple-doubles:

David Robinson (February 17, 1994): 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks
Nate Thurmond (October 18, 1974): 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 12 blocks
Hakeem Olajuwon (March 29, 1990): 18 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 11 blocks
Alvin Robertson (February 18, 1986): 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals

And finally, even though this one didn’t happen in the NBA, or even Division-I college basketball, this game from Manute Bol while playing Division-II NCAA ball at Bridgeport is pretty ridiculous:

Manute Bol: 32 points, 29 rebounds, 31 blocks

Eat your heart out, Wilt Chamberlain.

[Prince12]

lmao at that manute bol triple double from college. So good.

[treefi]

lmao at that manute bol triple double from college. So good.

31 blocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pistons fan here.. Definitely extremely jealous of Giannis. Imagining your team with Drummond instead of Monroe is frightening.

[HKPackFan]

31 blocks!?!?
