In basketball, what is a double-double and triple-double?
371841
It's when you obtain double digits in two statictical categories for a double double or three categories for a triple double. For example, a double double would be scoring 10 points (or more) and having 10 rebounds (or more).  A triple double would be having double digits in 3 different categories.  The usual statistic categories are: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and turnovers.

lebron james. at first people might think kobe or a.i., but look at where their team is now! barely makin the playoffs, or even missin the mark! u look at the cavaliers, nd u see a great team, with a great leader. lebron james is the leader in triple doubles, nd nothin hlps a team more than a responsible leader. lebron admits it when he has a down game, nd unlike other good nba players, blames himself, not his team, for the loss. if u ask me, lebron will be not only this yrs mvp, but mvp for many yrs to come...

Both refer to stats generated by playing...\n\nFor example, if you score in double figures (anything 10 or higher) and rebound in double figures then you've gotten a double-double.  e.g. 13 points, 11 rebounds\n\nYou can also get a double-double by getting double figures in a combination of statistics (assists and rebounds, assists and points, assists and blocked shots, points and blocked shots, rebounds and blocked shots).  I think you get the point.\n\nTo get a triple-double you need to get double figures in three catagories. e.g. 13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 blocks

My guess, 27 in the regular season. (The site below lists 30 career Triple-Doubles, two of which came in the playoffs against the Knicks and one was in an All-Star game.) I don't think he had one with the Wizards his two seasons there.

its when u do a cross over twice\ntim hardaway had the best double cross over usually he would dribble the ball in one direction and crossover the ball between his legs then he would crossover again ending up in the same direcion he was going in the first place!!

Yeah but Nash carried his whole team to a much better record then LeBron.\n\nAnd Kidd had the most triple doubles.

Clyde Walcott did it for the West Indies against Australia back in 1954-55 in the West Indies\n\n126 & 110  v Australia     Port of Spain        1954/55    \n155 & 110  v Australia     Kingston             1954/55 \n\nYou could also make an argument for Ricky Ponting as he scored the double in A home and away series recently against Sth Africa.  Although it is technically 2 different series, they were played in succession.\n\n120 & 143* v South Africa  Sydney               2005/06    \n103 & 116  v South Africa  Durban               2005/06

Please know what you are talking about before you ask question only 3 or 2 point shots in basketball. There are 4 point plays but thats the highest. \n\n     Like How to Stand\n\n     I think its hilarious that you believe that your question makes sense. The only way a ref would give you eight points if you throw it backwards from full court

It's just like batting average except that a double counts as 2 hits, a triple counts as 3 and a homerun counts as 4. Basically, it's bases-per-atbat (not including walks or hit-by-pitch) whereas batting average is hits-per-atbat.

Each position player is assigned a number.\n\n1. Pitcher\n2. Catcher\n3. 1st Base\n4. 2nd Base\n5. 3rd base\n6. Shortstop\n7. Left Field\n8. Center Field\n9. Right Field.\n\nTherefore, a 6-4-3 double play would be going from Shortstop to 2nd base, to 1st base.\n\nAlternatively, a 4-6-3 double play would be going from 2Bman to Short stop, to the 1st baseman.

It's called the "long jump."\nPrior to the 1960's, or thereabouts, some people referred to it as the "broad jump".\nAlso, prior to the 60's, the "triple jump" was called the "Hop-skip-jump" or Hop-step jump".

there would be many answers. a lot of combination of speeds and angles are possible to put the ball in the basket.

There are different ways to set it up.  For double elimination, the loosers play each other.
