The 10 Best Triple-Double Performances in Recent NBA History
Which players filled up the box score better than the rest?

6. Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston Rockets (3/10/1987)

Out of the five previous players, none are what you would consider a big man or an inside player. A designation like that is reserved for a legendary center like Hakeem Olajuwon, who shows us that big men can gather triple-doubles, too. It took two overtimes and a losing effort to the Seattle Supersonics, but he accomplished the feat nonetheless.

In 53 minutes, Olajuwon produced 38 points, 17 rebounds and an impressive 12 blocks. He shot under 50% from the floor, but blocked 14.9% of two-point attempts for a defensive rating of 98. All in all, that's a 44.4 Game Score.
