Triple-doubles in the WNBA demonstrate impressive all-around performance but may be overvalued when it comes to determining player impact on winning championships. The history and evolution of this statistical achievement reveals interesting patterns about versatility in women's basketball while raising questions about how we evaluate player contributions.
• Triple-double defined as recording double digits in three statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, or blocks)
• Sherryl Swoopes recorded the first WNBA triple-double in 1999 with 14 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists
• Skylar Diggins achieved the first All-Star game triple-double in just 23 minutes
• Caitlin Clark became the youngest player to record a triple-double during her rookie season
• Alyssa Thomas leads the WNBA in triple-doubles with 16-18 and counting
• The 2024-25 season potentially features the highest number of triple-doubles in WNBA history
• Position context matters when evaluating triple-doubles (guards getting rebounds vs. centers getting assists)
• Despite impressive triple-double statistics, players like Alyssa Thomas haven't necessarily won championships
• Statistical achievements should be celebrated but not overvalued compared to team success
