LeBron James put up a 32 point, 11 rebound, 10 assist line on the Knicks a couple of nights ago. That got me thinking – who’s had the most games with a triple-double and 30 or more points?
My initial thought was “Bird”, reasoning that Magic didn’t score enough to be #1.
Source – TrueHoop on ESPN:
| Player | Triple Doubles, 30+ Points |
| Oscar Robertson | 106 |
| Wilt Chamberlain | 21 |
| LeBron James | 17 |
| Larry Bird | 17 |
| Magic Johnson | 17 |
| Michael Jordan | 16 |
Bird’s tied for 3rd with LeBron and Magic.
Oscar Robertson was the last player to average a triple-double over the course of a season. In his career he had more 30 point triple-doubles than the next five guys combined.

I never would have guessed Fat Lever would be on the list — sort of a of Tim Hardaway type.
