Giddey passes Michael Jordan on all-time list

• ‍Australian Josh Giddey's 2026 NBA All-Star Game snub‍
• Why the 1987 All-Star Game is the greatest of them all
• Josh Giddey performed under the bright lights of LA, going toe-to-toe with Lakers star Luka Doncic

Australian star point guard Josh Giddey is better than arguably the greatest NBA player of all-time Michael Jordan – in at least one statistical category.

Giddey, 23, produced the 29th triple-double of his career against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, March 14, 2026 to pass Michael Jordan's 28-career triple-doubles with an assist to Matas Buzelis for a wing three with about 2:10 left in the game.

Giddey finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals as the the Bulls lost to the Clippers 119-108.

Giddey now sits just four triple-doubles behind fellow Aussie and three-time NBA All-Star Ben Simmons, who has the most by any Australia.

He passed Scottie Pippen for the second-most triple-doubles in Bulls history last week.

Game Snapshot

• Quarter Scores: LAC 33–28 │ 30–29 │ 29–28 │ 27–23
• Largest Lead: Clippers by 14
• Game Flow: Los Angeles controlled tempo throughout, maintaining a multi-possession lead across the second half.

Australian guard Josh Giddey produced another strong all-around performance for Chicago, finishing with a 20-point triple-double in the loss.

The 23-year-old logged a game-high 39 minutes and combined scoring bursts with consistent playmaking to keep the Bulls within reach during the middle quarters. Giddey hit four three-pointers and controlled the defensive glass, but Chicago struggled to string together stops as the Clippers’ depth and late-game shotmaking proved decisive.

Tre Jones led the Bulls in scoring with 21 points on 10-from-11 shooting, while rookie Matas Buzelis added 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Los Angeles was paced by Kawhi Leonard’s 28 points, while Bennedict Mathurin provided a major lift off the bench with 26 points. The Clippers shot 48% from the field and generated 28 assists, consistently finding advantages against Chicago’s perimeter defence.
