In basketball, a quadruple-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in four of five statistical categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots in a game.[1]
This feat is extremely rare[1] since only four players have officially recorded a quadruple-double in National Basketball Association (NBA) history. The first American player who officially recorded a quadruple-double is Nate Thurmond.
Men's basketball
The four players listed below are the only players who have officially recorded a quadruple-double in a NBA game.[2]
| Name | Date | Team | Opponent | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals | Blocks | Overtime | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nate Thurmond | October 18, 1974 | Chicago Bulls | Atlanta Hawks | 22 | 14 | 13 | — | 12 | Yes | [2] |
| Alvin Robertson | February 18, 1986 | San Antonio Spurs | Phoenix Suns | 20 | 11 | 10 | 10 | — | No | [3] |
| Hakeem Olajuwon | March 29, 1990 | Houston Rockets | Milwaukee Bucks | 18 | 16 | 10 | — | 11 | No | [4] |
| David Robinson | February 17, 1994 | San Antonio Spurs | Detroit Pistons | 34 | 10 | 10 | — | 10 | No | [5] |
Near misses
On March 3, 1990, Hakeem Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets was credited with 29 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, and 11 blocks in a game against Golden State.[6] However, after the game the NBA stripped Olajuwon of one assist, leaving him one short of a quadruple double.[7][8] The NBA does not recognize this as a quadruple-double,[9] although he is credited with 10 assists in his career stats.
Other notable instances have occurred where players with triple-doubles finished the game within one stat of a quadruple-double:
- Rick Barry, October 29, 1974, Golden State vs. Buffalo; 30 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 9 steals.[10]
- Larry Steele, November 16, 1974, Portland vs. L.A. Lakers; 12 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 10 steals.[11]
- Johnny Moore, January 8, 1985, San Antonio vs. Golden State; 26 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 9 steals.[12]
- Larry Bird, February 18, 1985, Boston at Utah; 30 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 9 steals,[13][14] while sitting out the fourth quarter of the game.[citation needed]
- Micheal Ray Richardson, October 30, 1985, New Jersey vs. Indiana; 38 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 9 steals.[14][15]
- Clyde Drexler, January 10, 1986, Portland at Milwaukee; 26 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals.[11]
- Clyde Drexler, November 1, 1996, Houston vs. Sacramento; 25 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 10 steals.[16]
Prior to 1973-74
The NBA started recording both blocked shots and steals in the 1973-74 season, so quadruple-doubles have only been possible since that time. There is much speculation that Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, two of the best all-around players before that time, may have recorded quadruple-doubles, as they both were very skilled at blocking shots. Also, other players from the era, notably Jerry West and Oscar Robertson, could conceivably have had quadruple-doubles. However, as not many games of that time were recorded on film and blocks and steals were not official statistics at the time, this is largely conjectural.
Unofficially, Jerry West once scored 44 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks according to his official NBA biography.[17] Wilt Chamberlain also recorded one known instance; in Game 1 of the 1967 Eastern Division Finals versus the Boston Celtics he tallied 24 points, 32 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks according to the game's statistician.[18]
- Jermaine Blackburn, December 20, 2008, East Kentucky Miners vs. West Virginia Wild; 22 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists, 10 steals.[19]
- Jamel Staten, February 2, 2007, Minnesota Ripknees vs. St. Louis Stunners; 29 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals.[20]
NCAA Division I men
- Lester Hudson, November 13, 2007, Tennessee-Martin vs. Central Baptist; 25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals.[21][22] This is the only quadruple-double in NCAA Division I men's basketball history.
Women' basketball
- Debbie Black, December 8, 1996, Colorado Xplosion vs. Atlanta Glory; 10 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, 10 steals.[23].
Europe
- Edwina Brown, December 2008, Israel, Ramat Hen vs. Hapoel Holon; 22 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals. [24]
- Zoi Dimitrakou, March 22, 2009, Greece, G.S. Megas Alexandros vs. Aris Holargou; 49 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 12 steals. Dimitrakou is listed as the first, and only up to date, European (male or female) player to have recorded a quadruple double.[25]
NCAA Division I women
- Ann Meyers, February 18, 1978, UCLA vs. Stephen F. Austin; 20 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals.[22] This is the only quadruple-double in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.
NCAA Division III women
- Evita Esteves, Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004, Emmanuel vs. Johnson and Wales;13 steals, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, and 10 points. [26]
- Danna Purnell, Feb. 10,2007, SUNY-Old Westbury vs. New Rochelle;14 points, 13 steals, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. [27]
- Latiqua Williams, November 16, 2008, Bard College vs. New Rochelle; 21 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 11 steals. [28]
Quintuple-double
Analogous to a quadruple-double, a quintuple-double can be defined as a performance in which an individual collects at least 10 each of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks in a single game. Such a feat has never occurred at any level of basketball above high school. The term five-by-five has been coined for a game in which a player accrues at least five each of the five stats listed.
