Every player to record a triple-double in Los Angeles Lakers history
By Jason Reed
Just one triple-double on the Los Angeles Lakers:
Ten of the 24 players to record a triple-double for the Los Angeles Lakers only did so once. Some of these players are all-time greats, others recorded fluke triple-doubles that you may have forgotten about.
Slater Martin, 1955
As a member of the Minneapolis Lakers, Hall of Famer Slater Martin recorded just one triple-double in his career. He did so in 1955 when he scored 20 points with 14 rebounds and 10 assists.
Hot Rod Hundley, 1960
Hot Rod Hundley’s NBA career just lasted six years (all with the Lakers) and he was able to record one triple-double. In 1960, the guard scored 17 points with 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Walt Hazzard, 1966
Guard Walt Hazzard spent just three seasons with the Lakers and was able to record a triple-double in his last year with the team. It came in the first game of the 1966-67 season when he scored 12 points with 10 rebounds and 10 assits.
