Did Westbrook technically average a triple double in 2017?

[LAmbruh]

It says on BBref - 31.6, 10.7. 10.4


But did he akshually average it if we bundle all context together?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

That's what I thought.

What are talking about? I said that because there was already a huge thread about this that went nowhere. It's just semantics really. Take out the word tripple double if it helps. Did he average 10/10/10 or more? The answer is yes.

Did he not average a a tripple double?

[LeCola]

Lets forget 10/10/10 logic and approach it with your logic.

There are 2 possibilities for triple double? Make or not.

So if you do it more than 0.5 percent it will round up to 1.

What was the Westbrook's record in 2017?

42 triple doubles in 82 games. Is it more than 0.5?

So, even with your logic he averaged triple double in 2017.

[BigShotBob]

He shouldn't have "averaged" an MVP in 2017

[MrFonzworth]

In theory, someone can average a triple double without ever recording a triple double.

This would literally make that dude's mind blow up

Classic thread.

Yes. For one to average a triple-double, they have to average double-digit numbers in 3 categories. It's like saying a 30 ppg scorer did not technically average 30 because he didn't score 30+ in every game. For all the games he had 7-8 rebounds or assists, he also had games of 15+ rebounds & assists to go along with his double-digit scoring. That's how averages work.

What if a guy had 50 triple doubles in a season but for the season averaged less then double digits in 3 categories?

I know what you mean when u say that but technically that's not true

[Bronbron23]

Then he didn't accomplish either. The way you pose the question proves exactly my point. In your question a triple double is separate from getting double-digits in 3 categories. The 2 aren't one in themselves you achieve one by accomplishing the other. Technically westbrook didn't average a tripple double. He averaged double-digits in 3 separate categories while getting 40 something tripple doubles.

According to the idiotic standard of averaging a triple double pushed by the media and the public at large, you could get a total of 0 triple doubles and still average a triple double.

But the reality is your averages can be the equivalent of a triple double but you can't actually average a triple double. There is a distinct difference.

Further... imagine this... a guy plays 82 games...

Game 1 - 820 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists
Game 2 - 0 points, 820 rebounds, 0 assists
Game 3 - 0 points, 0 rebounds, 820 assists
Game 4 - 82 - 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists (played in all of them)

According to most of you idiots, this meets the criteria to average a triple double... because the player's averages come out to 10, 10, 10.

But it's not true. The averages are the equivalent of what the prerequisites are for getting a triple double, but said player most certainly did not average a triple double.

Triple doubles are binary events and you can only get 1 per game. You would need a triple double in 100% of your played games in order to truly average a triple double.

This. There's some signs of intelligence after all in this hell hole.
