Draymond Green leads the NBA in triple-doubles with 10 in 51 appearances. That sets him on a pace for just under 16 triple-doubles should he play in each of the final 30 games on the Golden State Warriors’ schedule.

The last time a player recorded at least 15 triple-doubles was 1988-89, when both Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan achieved the feat.

Green has been playing at a borderline superstar level, and that was acknowledged when he was selected to his first career All-Star Game appearance. It was a well-deserved honor for a player who leads the 48-4 Golden State Warriors in both rebounds and assists per game.

Coupled with his role as the defensive anchor, there aren’t many players who are more valuable to their respective team’s success than Green.

According to Basketball-Reference.com, no power forward or center has averaged at least 7.0 assists per game since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967-68. Larry Bird achieved the feat in three different seasons, but he was listed as a small forward during those campaigns.

Whether he’s the first since Bird or the first since Chamberlain, Green is on pace to help redefine what it means to be a modern big man.
