In a time when a triple-double wasn’t as common as they are today in the NBA, this story of Andray Blatche shows how much players care about statistics during matches.

In 2010 Blatche did his best to get the tenth rebound that would guarantee him the first and only triple-double of his career. In the final seconds of the game, the player was so desperate to get a rebound that he even asked an opponent to help him…

And if you think this is ridiculous, wait to see the last play of the game where Andray Blatche intentionally try to miss his own shot to get the desired offensive rebound.

The triple-double now occurs frequently in the NBA. Russell Westbrook and Luka Doncic exemplify how often this statistic has been occurring. But looking Blatche’s commitment, you can imagine how special it would have been in 2010 to have just gotten one more rebound.

Andray Blatche ended this comic performance with 20 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds!
