    So I try to store some data in a HashMap, but it can occur that 1 name needs to have x2 values.
    Currently, i do it like this:

    HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>> assistedPlayers = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>>();
    And check IF the key is set. IF it is, get the Value(ArrayList), add new String and set it again, overriding the old one.

    The question is: IS this the best way to do this, or is there something i do not know of, which i should use?

    Thanks!

    As HashMaps do not accept duplicate keys, I would say yes
