2. I'll Dowplay It

I think the triple-double is overrated unless the player's points are 20 or higher.
I once recall a Bulls game where an opponent had a triple double. 12 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds. Directly involved in 32 points
In that same game, MJ had 39, 9, & 8. Directly involved with 57 points.
Sportscenter led the coverage with the "notable" triple double, though Jordan had a far better fane, & the Bulls won.
Now, we're counting double-doubles? Under 14 points & under 12 rebounds is merely nice, not special.
I think this is an empty record.
