Chris Paul logged his second triple double in 3 days (went for 17, 11, 16 and 6). Who was the last rookie to log two triple doubles? I know LeBron didn't get one until his second season. Perhaps it was either Jason Kidd or Magic Johnson.

Well he said last rookie to do it, so I'm assuming he'd want one closer than the 60's. Maybe Grant Hill or Larry Bird, who knows.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">im pretty sure it was oscar robertson. </div> Magic went for 18 7 and 7 in his rookie year so i'm guessing he had a few triple doubles.
Here's just a few recent players that got triple doubles as a rookie. Maybe more. Kirk Hinrich had 1 triple double as a rookie. Hinrich's Rookie season Lamar Odom had 3 triple doubles as a rooke. Odom's Rookie season Steve Francis had 1 triple-double as a rookie (1/27), and several near triple-doubles. Damn, 25 points, 17 rebounds, and 14 assists. Now THAT's a triple double! Francis's Rookie season Antoine Walker had 2 back to back triple doubles in April as a rookie. Walker's rookie season Jason Kidd had 4 (if I'm counting correctly), all in April. He had several near triple doubles throughout the season. Kidd's Rookie season Grant Hill had 1 triple-double as a rookie. Hill's Rookie season
thx durvasa. Always knew Odom was a solid player. Hey can you also tell me how many triple doubles Odom has this season? Thx
Thanks durvasa. So basically there's been three guys in the past 15 years to get at least two. Interesting stuff.

Its surprising how a rookie whos class is so bad that it makes him look like an allstar. Chris Paul is a good point gaurd and will make all star games, but he isnt someone that is so great that he will set records and become one of the best point gaurds to play the game

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TmacGarnett:</div><div class="quote_post">Its surprising how a rookie whos class is so bad that it makes him look like an allstar. </div> Chris Paul's numbers speak for themselves, as good as any rookie PG of the last 25 years. Raymond Felton has also almost matched Paul's numbers since starting. Oh, and you're a knobend.

He's one of the best rookies in the history of the league. In fact, only two guards in league history have had a higher PER in their rookie regular season. You may have heard of them -- Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson.
