With his 33-point, 18-rebound, and 13-assist performance Monday in Dallas' 110-119 loss to the Boston Celtics, Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic posted his 38th career triple-double with at least 30 points, overtaking Lebron James for third-most in NBA history.

Doncic is now 10 triple-doubles away from tying Russell Westbrook for the second-highest total of all time.

What makes this achievement even more special is the fact that Luka has accomplished this feat in only 366 games played in his career.

The legendary Oscar Robertson remains in a league of his own with 106 games of producing 30-point triple-doubles, with nearly triple the number of games Doncic has played.

Nikola Jokic is another European name on the list, ranking sixth with 27 such games in 639 career appearances.
