What is a double double?

A "double double" is a term commonly used in sports, particularly basketball, to refer to a player achieving double digits in two statistical categories during a game. In basketball, the most common double double is when a player records at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in a single game, although there are other variations such as double digit assists or blocks.

Double doubles are considered to be a significant accomplishment in basketball as they demonstrate a player's versatility and impact on the game. Players who regularly achieve double doubles are often highly valued for their ability to contribute in multiple areas of the game.

In other sports, such as hockey, a double double can refer to a player scoring two goals and adding two assists in a single game. The term can also be used in other contexts to refer to achieving double digits in two separate categories, such as sales or production.
