138\n\nJason Kidd also merits mention as being the leader among active NBA players in triple-doubles, with 75 as of April 10, 2006. Oscar Robertson is the all-time leader with 181, followed by Magic Johnson's 138, and Wilt Chamberlain's 78. Kidd is currently fourth, and Larry Bird is fifth with 59.

Im gonna say Tim Duncan is overall the best player in the NBA.  He is always either winning championships or going deep in the playoffs.  Wade is good, but not as good as LeBron.

No by the game my friends brother's best friend is in the NBA. Andrew Bynum and he said he made a certain amount of money every playoff game it was like 200,000. It sounds crazy.

I assume you mean from sports alone - no endorsments or acting gigs. If this is the case, the highest paid athlete is Alex Rodiguez (NY Yankees) - a bit more than $25 million a year. With endorsements deals and pet projects, it is Tiger Woods.

Um, Dirk anybody? He's the last man in the NBA I think who actually plays basketball! I think Manu Ginobili deserves some credit too! I'd also give consideration to Dwayne Wade.

Micheal Essien is the most expensive, but that's because Chelsea overpaid for him.  Right now, the African player that is most valuable is Samuel Eto'o.  He has been the best striker in Spain for the last 2 years and is one of the reasons why Barcelona is arguably the best team in Europe.  Eto'o is also the best player that will not be going to the World Cup, because his Cameroon did not qualify.

Steve Kerr is the all-time leader with 45.4%.  Of active players, Steve Nash is the leader at 42.1, just ahead of Ben Gordon.\n\nhttp://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/TPP_career.html

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul Jabbar.  Those guys could play . . but i'm going to have to go with Michael Jordan.  He dominated the sport, tried his hand at baseball THEN came back and dominated again!  Just think of the career stats he would've had if he played straight through . . wow.\n\nHonourable mention to Robertson, Chamberlain, Kareem, Magic, Russell . . .\n\n*ALSO - according to espn.com (they have a Top 10 Point Guards in History of NBA list) Robertson averaged a triple double during his first 5 seasons*
