Kevin Porter Jr. just achieved a huge accomplishment in his young NBA career. The Rockets’ point guard just notched his first career triple-double.
But he didn’t get it done without a little help from his teammates.
And, no, I don’t mean they just made shots for him to pile up assists. Of course, that’s part of it. But they also literally forced him to grab the last rebound of the game to get the triple-double.
On the last missed shot by the Thunder, Porter Jr.’s teammates tapped the ball and just let it bounce to allow him to grab it.
The problem was he didn’t realize it at first. So they literally had to yell at him to make him get the last rebound. It was hilarious.

Talk about court awareness, man. Those are some great teammates. The best part is how pumped they were that he got it. Josh Christopher’s fist pump after Porter Jr. grabs the ball is amazing.
NBA fans absolutely loved this.
