The triple-double is one of basketball’s rarest feats, with only 130 recorded in NBL history.
The latest to achieve it? Young gun Taran Armstrong of the Cairns Taipans.
Armstrong delivered the season’s lone triple-double in Cairns’ 100-88 win over the Brisbane Bullets, lifting the Taipans to just their fourth home victory of the season and sending the 4,145 fans at the Cairns Convention Centre home happy.
Taipans coach Adam Forde believes Armstrong is destined for bigger stages.
“This is just an example of what he’s capable of doing and the evolution of his game from last year to this year,” Forde said post-game.
“Imagine what that’s going to look like five years from now, wherever he is in the world, just capitalising on his talent that he’s had to work really hard for.”
Armstrong stuffed the stat sheet with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists—the first NBL triple-double since Trey Kell III achieved the feat for the Adelaide 36ers on New Year’s Eve in the 2023/24 season.
For Kell, the triple-double came after a shift from shooting guard to point guard under new head coach Scott Ninnis, following CJ Bruton’s departure. The change unlocked a new level of playmaking in his game.
“I told myself to ‘get lost in the game,’ and let the game come to you. Don’t worry about off-court factors,” Kell said after Adelaide’s 96-89 win against the Illawarra Hawks.
“Then me playing the point guard—sort of a combination of those things put together—has allowed for me to be where I’m at right now.”
Other players to achieve the feat in recent years include the Kings ‘Swiss army knife’ Xavier Cooks, who delivered a triple-double just weeks before the NBL Awards Night—effectively locking up the league’s MVP title.
Cooks’ brilliance was on full display in front of 13,273 roaring fans at Qudos Bank Arena as he tallied 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 111-106 victory over the South East Melbourne Phoenix. The win not only secured Sydney’s first-place finish in the regular season but also cemented Cooks’ status as the league’s most versatile star.
This marks Xave’s triple-double!

Although triple-doubles have always been a rarity, five triple-doubles from three different players were recorded during NBL21—something that had only happened once before in league history.
Keifer Sykes recorded a standout 14-point, 10-rebound, and 11-assist performance in the South East Melbourne Phoenix’s 99-83 victory over the Brisbane Bullets, earning high praise from teammate Mitch Creek for his ability to impact all facets of the game.
“That’s one of his better games across the board statistically. 11 dimes in this league is really hard to come by and then to also pour in a bunch of points and 10 boards, he was the catalyst in that third and fourth quarter when we really held our lead by swooping in on those rebounds” said Creek
“He’s the smallest guy on the court and he got the most boards out of everyone on the court which is incredible. I love playing with him, I can’t wait to play many more games with him”.
Triple. Double. Alert.

Not long after that, in only his second game for the New Zealand Breakers, William McDowell-White joined the exclusive club. He delivered 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists in a win over the Bullets on April 17, becoming just the second Breaker to ever record a triple-double, alongside Cedric Jackson.

En route to winning the Rookie of the Year award, future NBA star Josh Giddey made history of his own during his lone NBL season with the Adelaide 36ers. He became the first Australian to record back-to-back triple-doubles, registering 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists in a 101-79 win over Brisbane.

Just a week later, he added another, becoming the first Aussie to post three triple-doubles in a single NBL season with an 11-point, 12-assist, 10-rebound effort against the Sydney Kings. His historic performances helped solidify his status as an NBA lottery pick in the 2021 Draft.

The only other instance of three different players achieving a triple-double in a single season occurred back in 2003/04 when Glen Saville, Sam MacKinnon, and Rashad Tucker each accomplished the feat. Coincidentally, that was the same year Giddey celebrated his first birthday.
While Giddey’s three triple-doubles in one season were impressive, it’s worth noting that during the 2003/04 season, Tucker set the NBL record for the most triple-doubles in a single campaign, recording an astonishing six triple-doubles across just 28 games while playing with the Perth Wildcats.
Rashad Tucker’s 2003/04 season remains one of the most dominant statistical campaigns in NBL history. After joining the Wildcats mid-season to replace Reed Rawlings, Tucker wasted no time showcasing his all-around brilliance. With Ricky Grace sidelined due to injury, he assumed playmaking duties and delivered an unprecedented six triple-doubles—an NBL record that still stands today.
Rashad Tucker’s 2003/04 season remains one of the most dominant statistical campaigns in NBL history.

With Ricky Grace sidelined due to injury, he assumed playmaking duties and delivered an unprecedented six triple-doubles—an NBL record that still stands today.
Tucker’s versatility was on full display throughout the season. On November 26, 2003, he kick-started his historic run with 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists against the West Sydney Razorbacks. Just three days later, he followed it up with a 22-point, 11-rebound, and 10-assist performance against the Adelaide 36ers.
As the season progressed, his all-around dominance only intensified. On February 11, 2004, Tucker recorded 13 points, 14 rebounds, and 14 assists in a matchup against the Townsville Crocodiles, demonstrating his ability to orchestrate the offence while crashing the boards. Just a week later, he delivered another stellar performance with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Brisbane Bullets.
His most impressive showing came on February 23, when he torched the Hunter Pirates with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists—one of the most well-rounded performances in league history. Tucker capped off his remarkable season on February 28, posting 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists against the Victoria Giants.
In a season full of milestones, Tucker also made history in a game against the West Sydney Razorbacks, where he and Sam MacKinnon both recorded triple-doubles—the only time in NBL history that two players achieved the feat in the same game.
Despite his dominant campaign, Tucker’s time in Perth came to an abrupt end the following season. However, he would go on to win an NBL championship with the Melbourne Tigers in 2006, further cementing his legacy. While several players have joined the NBL’s triple-double club since no one has matched Tucker’s record-setting six triple-doubles in a single season—an achievement that remains one of the league’s most remarkable statistical feats.
Another future NBA star to join the NBL’s triple-double club was LaMelo Ball, who made history not only by winning the 2020 NBL Rookie of the Year award but also by becoming the youngest player ever to record a triple-double in league history.
You saw it first in the NBL.

Ball’s first triple-double was a spectacular performance—32 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists in an overtime victory against the Cairns Taipans. He didn’t stop there. To prove his playmaking and versatility were no fluke, he followed up with another triple-double in his very next game. This time, he tallied 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists against the New Zealand Breakers, a team that featured fellow Next Star RJ Hampton.
Ball’s back-to-back triple-doubles cemented his status as an elite prospect, drawing the attention of NBA scouts and solidifying his position as the third overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. His brief but electrifying NBL stint remains one of the most memorable in league history.
In 2018, Nathan Sobey etched his name into the NBL record books by delivering a triple-double against his former team, the Cairns Taipans. While playing for the Adelaide 36ers, Sobey recorded 22 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 91-83 victory—making him the first player to achieve the feat in nearly three years.

Before Nathan Sobey’s triple-double in 2018, Cedric Jackson was the last player to achieve the feat, recording his fifth and final NBL triple-double. Jackson’s most recent came in a dominant performance where he tallied 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading the Sky City Breakers to victory over Melbourne United at Vector Arena.
Jackson remains the only player in Breakers history to register multiple triple-doubles, with his first coming in November 2012 when he posted 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists—also against Melbourne. His consistency set him apart, as he became the only player in the past decade to record multiple triple-doubles in the NBL, a feat previously achieved by Darnell Mee in 2005 while playing for the Cairns Taipans.
While regular-season triple-doubles are rare, achieving one in the high-stakes atmosphere of the NBL playoffs is an even greater challenge. The first player to ever do so was Adelaide 36ers guard Butch Hays, who delivered a historic 24-point, 10-rebound, 17-assist performance in Game 2 of the 1991 elimination finals against Melbourne. His heroics propelled the 36ers into the semifinals against the Perth Wildcats.
However, the most significant postseason triple-double in NBL history belongs to Darryl McDonald, who accomplished the feat in Game 1 of the 1994 NBL Finals. With the championship on the line, McDonald stuffed the stat sheet with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, lifting his Giants to an overtime victory in Adelaide. He punctuated his performance with a game-winning floater, setting the tone for a commanding 117-97 win in Game 2 to clinch the championship.
While these performances stand out in NBL history, one statistical masterpiece remains unmatched—Daren Rowe’s legendary quadruple-double. In 1990, the Geelong Supercats star delivered an eye-popping 25 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists, and 11 steals, making him the only player in NBL history to record double figures in four statistical categories.
And then, there is Robert Rose, the undisputed king of triple-doubles in the NBL. Over a 16-year career, Rose accomplished the feat an astonishing 13 times, solidifying his place as the league’s all-time leader.
