Cade Cunningham's Triple-Double Run Puts Him with Pistons Royalty
Relentless Dedication Pays Off
Cade Cunningham's relentless dedication to basketball has paid off in a big way. The Detroit Pistons' young star has recently achieved a rare feat, becoming just the third player in franchise history to record multiple triple-doubles in a row.
Cunningham's impressive run began on March 30th, when he put up 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Indiana Pacers. Just two days later, he followed it up with another triple-double, this time with 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Cunningham's triple-double streak is a testament to his all-around game. He is a skilled scorer, rebounder, and passer, and he has shown that he can impact the game in a variety of ways.
Joining Pistons Legends
Cunningham's triple-double run has put him in elite company. The only other Pistons players to record multiple triple-doubles in a row are Isiah Thomas and Grant Hill.
Thomas, a Hall of Famer, had two triple-doubles in a row during the 1984-85 season. Hill, a seven-time All-Star, had three triple-doubles in a row during the 1994-95 season.
Cunningham is still early in his career, but he is already showing that he has the potential to be a special player. His triple-double streak is just one example of his talent and dedication.
Pistons' Future Looks Bright
Cunningham's emergence as a star is a bright spot for the Pistons, who have struggled in recent years. The team has not made the playoffs since 2019, and they have not won a playoff series since 2008.
However, with Cunningham leading the way, the Pistons are hoping to turn things around. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he has already shown that he can be a difference-maker.
The Pistons have a long way to go before they are a contender, but Cunningham's triple-double streak is a sign that the future is bright in Detroit.
