Jason Kidd is next with 28 teams, followed by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson scoring against 25 and 24 different teams respectively.

James currently ranks fifth on the career triple-double list with 86 triple-doubles. He is ranked behind Oscar Robertson (181), Westbrook (141), Johnson (138) and Kidd (107).
