Are triple doubles even special anymore?

[tjax03]

Back in the day they were rare to come by. These days it seems some dude is getting one every night. You wake up and see xxx got a triple double on sportcenter the next day.

Its not even a fascinating stat anymore when its becoming regular occurrence. People (especially espn) would rather talk triple double when a the triple double guy lost the game

blame KD for leaving okc so russ could make it less special

 

[FreshandClean]

The players are more talented and it’s easier for them to get it

russ already got mad triple double before KD left

There easier to get now because the games so fast. People are shooting more 3's meaning the ball bounces farther to get guards rebounds. Okc allow Russ to get rebounds to start fast breaks so no there not special

Honestly big numbers don't move me at all anymore. I was thinking about 5hid the other day. It's like everyone and his mama can put up crazy numbers now.

What's make it even worse is people think these numbers are indicative of impact.

I think they are when a Simmons/LeBron/Jokic, etc. gets them, theirs come in the flow of the game, but not really when they come from

it's some 2k shyte

everything is in service of scoring

the purpose of the game is to get buckets

so i really care most about who's getting buckets

how they get buckets & when they get buckets

fukk those other peasant stats

Really triple doubles are the new double doubles and quadruple doubles are the new triple doubles.

'WRong.

The rule changes got you thinking players are better .

Triple doubles went from AMAZING if you did it 6 times in a season.

now guys doing it 20+ times like it's nothing. you think the players got better? lies

See in 2004 when threes were at 5? that's when the Pistons were dominating and ratings were at their low. Why you think Nash came out of no where and won 2 MVPs? Why you think 3 players suddenly scored 30 ppg (Kobe, AI and Bron) that year ? Rule changes fukked all that up.

nowadays with threes, you cant put a slow, rim protector only guy anymore. Because he will get killed in the pick and roll. Now you got smaller guys having to guard with crazy defensive rotations. Better chance for a Russ or anybody who really wants a rebound because they dont gotta compete with a 7'1" guy for it anymore.

The smaller big men, spread offenses that lead into insane # of 3PAs lead to longer rebounds for perimeter players.

league is a joke nowadays. lol @ this guy Jokic having the fastest triple double ever
