One of basketball’s young stars Josh Giddey has achieved a truly remarkable feat in the NBA. The 20-year-old registered a triple double in Oklahoma City's 145-135 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
His 24 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists were integral to his side’s win, and also marked the second time he had achieved a triple double at the iconic MSG arena. A 28-point triple-double in an overtime win over the Knicks in his rookie season with the Thunder marked the first time he achieved the feat.
Therefore, having achieved two triple doubles in his first two matches at Madison Square Garden, Giddey became just the second man after the great Wilt Chamberlain to do so. Another record of the two-time champion is being the only player to score 100 points in a single NBA game, and average more than 40 and 50 points in a season.
