    Yes. With steals, assists, points, rebounds. It was pretty random.

    Nate Thurmond randomly got one too

    Right now? I watched the game live. And I had just got home and watched it on my couch with about 2 minutes left in regulation on.

    Are all the votes in? No? There's over half the season left. One game doesn't get you the MVP. Lol.

    Likely doesn’t even put him ahead of Tatum.

    Just one game

    Regular season record will impact the MVP

    Luka better start winning if he wants it

    Can the triple double police let us know if he was “stat chasing” what ever that means?

    Confucius say: Man who scores 60 to win in OT is no better than man who scores 59 to win in regulation

    I don't want to nitpick a great performance but it was the Knicks without Brunson or Barrett and they took him into OT where Luka gets 7 points and 2 rebounds. Just some context. The Knicks didn't have their two best perimeter players and Doncic got a stat boost from OT against that roster.

    But he did not have a 60/21/10 game.

    But he apparently did have a 50/30/10 game, so I think I might elevate that over Luka.

    Brunson one of their best perimeter defenders? He’s probably one of their worst. He’s been a complete liability defensively since he joined the league.

    Correct. Most triple doubles have come in different forms and fashions.

    To judgmental in my view. I don’t care who was out there. That was one of the best performances we’ve ever seen. Luka is an amazing player.

    Ja is a great player no question but he probably should just let his play do the talking.

    March 18th, 1968, Wilt put up the following
    -53 points
    -32 rebounds
    -14 assists
    -24 blocks
    -11 steals
    Amazingly the league didn’t count blocks and steals back then, but these are unofficial numbers by the sideline stats crew that night.
