In the past basketball games, the players in five positions were clearly classified, and each of them performed their own duties on the court. However, with the development of the times, the position of today's basketball games has become increasingly blurred. The functions and roles of players are no longer single, and there are more and more all-round players. Taking active players as an example, point guards Doncic, Westbrook, point guard Harden, small forward James, power forward Antetokounmpo and center Jokic are all all-round fighters. Now there are superstars who can do anything in the 5 positions.

In the past, it was very difficult for a star to win a triple-double, but now it is very easy for an all-round player in the league to win a triple-double. As a recognized all-round fighter, James has always been known for his comprehensiveness since he entered the league. Now that James is 41 years old, can he still achieve a great achievement of 200 triple-doubles?

Looking at NBA history, Westbrook is currently the only player who has been able to achieve 200 triple-double in his career. Like the Magic, he is the most comprehensive point guard. Westbrook rookie averaged 15+5+5 per game in the season, and has continued to perform omnipotently since then. Especially after Durant left the Thunder, Westbrook took over the team alone, had unlimited firepower, and the usage rate was completely full, and the data exploded. In the peak season, he averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists, achieving a miracle of a triple-double per game.

Starting from the 16-17 season, Westbrook achieved a triple-double average in four seasons, and played until the end of last season. Westbrook personally achieved 203 triple-double achievements, and was the first in the history of the triple-double list, and he is definitely an all-rounder.

Apart from Westbrook, the active Mr. All-rounder, James and Jokic are undoubtedly the most powerful beings, of which James is 41 years old. As an evergreen player in the league, he has been playing in the NBA for 21 years and has been at the peak. Even at the age of 41 this year, James can still score comprehensive data with an average of 24 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and can still be selected for the All-A-Second Team, with unquestionable strength. Looking back on James' entire career, he averaged 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

James is also the only player who achieved 30,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists. Such data accumulation and personal performance are also worthy of the title of All-round Warrior. However, although James is all-around, his triple-double data is actually much worse than Westbrook's. James has obtained 122 triple-double data in total. Although he still got 10 triple-doubles last season and is still strong, James is already 41 years old and only plays for another 1-2 seasons, and he is almost about to retire, so James will definitely not be able to achieve a record of 200 triple-doubles.
