I’m kind of more shocked to learn that Anthony Mason was the franchise leader. RIP.
Yeahha
How is our franchise as old as it is and the most triple doubles is still in single digits. Have we really been mediocre at best forever?

For added context (especially for the people who are thinking this is an indictment of our franchise’s history), this puts Melo at a tie for 71st most triple-doubles of any player ever (tied with John Wall, Hornets legend Vlade Divac, and his own brother). This also puts him at 21st all-time amongst active players. Triple-double machines like Westbrook, Harden, or Lebron are an extremely modern phenomenon, and it’s still only done by the most elite players in the league (and also Domantas Sabonis).
Basically, take this as a sign that Melo already has a ton of the tools to be a historically elite player, and not just another excuse to say “lol Charlotte basketball has always been ass”
