No, no, no: not today.
Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside channeled his inner Dikembe Mutombo on Tuesday and posted a triple-double with a team-high 22 points, 14 rebounds and 10 blocks.

Hakeem Olajuwon actually holds the record for most triple-doubles consisting of 10 blocks (nine), while Mutombo is tied for second. That Whiteside is even mentioned in the same sentence as those two legends says everything you need to know about his performance.
Unfortunately for Whiteside, though, his historic effort wasn’t enough to grab a home victory, as the Minnesota Timberwolves stole a 103-91 win at American Airlines Arena in Miami.
