> [@Leaffan](#): > > Um. Whats a double double? Basketball players are measured in five categories: assists, blocked shots, points, rebounds, and steals.

> [@Leaffan](#): > > Um. Whats a double double? > > In Canada it’s a coffee with two creams and two sugars. I was wondering why the opening of the Game of Thrones thread got this whole prep-the-viewing audience megilla and double double–as unknown to me as the plot of GoT–didn’t. But I figured it as it was something sportsy (hey, at least I decided against National Broadcasting Association), and as usual my shame–what with being a guy and all–forbade me to inquire. So my hat’s off to **Leaffan** for putting it out there. Comes with being a hockey fan, probably. I do remember knowing the lineup of the 1970 Knicks, however. ---
