Who are NBA's all-time triple-double leaders?

With respect to the NBA's all-time triple-double leaderboard, Antetokounmpo is 15 away from the 10th spot which is currently shared by Fat Lever and Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic.  

The reigning Finals MVP is ninth among active players, trailing Rajon Rondo (T-13th, 32), Ben Simmons (T-13th, 32) and Draymond Green (15th, 31). 

Milwaukee has 29 games remaining in the 2021-22 season and given his average (four in 42 games), Antetokounmpo could further rise up the triple-double record book.
