Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander became the first Canadian-born player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
He is also the second Canadian player overall to record a triple-double, joining Hall of Famer Steve Nash.
Nash was born in South Africa, which is why Gilgeous-Alexander is officially the first Canadian-born player.
It was Gilgeous-Alexander’s first career triple-double as well.
Gilgeous-Alexander joins Russell Westbrook as the only guards with a 20-point, 20-rebound triple-double in the last 30 seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
He is also the youngest player in NBA history with a 20-rebound triple-double, passing Shaquille O’Neal, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The only other players to record a 20/20/10 triple-double in the last 20 years are DeMarcus Cousins (3), David Lee (1), Kevin Garnett (1) and Westbrook (1).
Here are highlights from Gilgeous-Alexander’s performance:
