There might not be a better statistic to measure a player’s all-around versatility than the triple-double.
It’s no easy feat to record double figures in three statistical categories in a single game, although Larry Bird seemed to do it so effortlessly during his storied 13-year Celtics career.
As you might expect, Bird is Boston’s franchise leader by a wide margin. Bird is one of 16 players in Celtics history to record a triple-double in the regular season or playoffs.
