They can score, pass, rebound, and do almost anything that can fill the stat sheet up. Of course, numbers tend to be the best measure of the effects of a player on a team because basketball has always been a numbers game. In that regard, some of the best players that have been able to fill the stat sheet up in a hurry include the likes of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Luka Dončić, Scottie Pippen, Grant Hill, Magic Johnson, Nikola Jokić, and several other notable names that have played the sport in the last three to four decades in NBA history. All of those names were great all-around players during their respective prime years. Due to how the game puts a premium on a player that is capable of doing it all and can fill the stat sheet up, every team in the league wants someone that can play that role to perfection. And every player wants to be able to put up ridiculous stats that are capable of explaining what he can do when he is on the floor and how he affects the game. This is where the triple-double comes into mind as one of the most impressive statistics of all time. A triple-double is when a player collects double digits in three separate statistical categories except for turnovers and fouls. In most cases, triple-doubles involve points, rebounds, and assists, but there have been cases when a player was able to collect a triple-double by recording double digits in either blocks or steals.
