See, we knew Shaq was lazy. He only got his second triple double of his career last night (15 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists).

I've been a very unselfish player. I knew they were going to double, so I just wanted to keep my guys involved. I learned a long time ago that if I can keep my other guys involved, it'll be an easier game for me. I just kept making the good pass and my teammates were making me look good.

His only other one was in 1993, when Whitney Houston had the #1 song and Sam Malone still had hair on Cheers. It's almost a given that Shaq would have a double double every night but we'd think he'd have more triple doubles with blocked shots.

Meanwhile, Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double in the first five years of his career.
