Double (basketball)

Jump to: navigation, search

In basketball, a double is the accumulation of a double digit number total in one of five statistical categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots in a game.

There are four main types:

  • Double-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in two of the five categories.
  • Triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in three of the five categories.
  • Quadruple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in four of the five categories.
  • Quintuple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in all five categories.

Because quintuple-double is so rare, statisticians also recorded five-by-five, which is the performance of accumulating at least five in all five categories.

[edit] Double-double

Double-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in two of five statistical categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots in a game. The most common double-double combination is points and rebounds, and follows by points and assists.

Double-doubles are fairly common in the NBA, and in fact, at least one player in each game can manage to record one. During the 2007–08 season, thirteen players who were eligible for leadership in the main statistical categories averaged a double-double for the entire season (listed in descending order of points per game): Antawn Jamison, Carlos Boozer, Chris Paul, Al Jefferson, Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Lamar Odom, Emeka Okafor, Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd, and Samuel Dalembert.[1] All averaged double figures in both points and rebounds except for Paul, Williams, Nash, and Kidd whose categories were points and assists.

[edit] Special double-doubles

Special double-doubles are rare. Three main types are "double double-doubles", in which a player logs at least 20 in two of the five categories in a game, "triple double-doubles" (at least 30) and "quadruple double-doubles" (at least 40).

Quadruple double-double was only achieved by Wilt Chamberlain eight times:

[edit] Triple-double

Triple-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in three of five statistical categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots in a game. The most common way for a player to achieve a triple-double is with points, rebounds, and assists, though on occasion players may record 10 or more steals or blocked shots in a game. The term "triple-double" was coined by former Los Angeles Lakers public relations director, Bruce Jolesch in order to showcase Magic Johnson's versatility.[9]

A triple-double is seen as an indication of an excellent all-around individual performance. In the National Basketball Association (NBA), they are rare but not unheard-of, as the top players usually accumulate a little fewer than 10 in a season (out of a possible 82 games in the regular NBA season). At the collegiate level, however, they are exceptionally rare (though double-doubles are much more common). There are two reasons for this: the shot clock in men's college basketball is 35 seconds as opposed to 24 seconds in the NBA and college games last only 40 minutes instead of 48 in the NBA. Both timing issues considerably reduce the number of possessions in a game and thus the chances for amassing large numbers in any one statistic, much less all three. It should be noted that the criteria for an assist have been relaxed over time.[10] Triple-doubles are also exceptionally rare in games contested under FIBA rules, in which games also run for 40 minutes (albeit with a 24-second clock like that in the NBA).

There has been occasional controversy surrounding triple doubles made when a player achieves the feat with a late rebound. Players on nine rebounds in a game have sometimes been accused of deliberately missing a shot late in the game in order to recover the rebound; a few have even gone so far as shooting off their opponent's basket trying to score a triple-double. To deter this, NBA rules allow rebounds to be nullified if the shot is determined not to be a bona fide scoring attempt, thus nullifying a triple-double achieved in this manner.

  • On March 22, 2009 Cole Aldrich of Kansas accumulated 13 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 blocks in a 60–43 victory over the Dayton Flyers in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
  • Stephane Lasme (2007 at UMass), Jason Kidd (1994 at Cal) and Michael Anderson (1986 at Drexel) share the NCAA Division I record of four triple-doubles in a single season. While Kidd and Anderson accomplished the feat by achieving double figures in scoring, rebounds, and assists, Lasme's triple doubles are in scoring, rebounds, and blocks.[26]
  • Kalara McFadyen of the Memphis Lady Tigers achieved perhaps the most unusual triple-double in history, without scoring a point or even attempting a shot. On February 3, 2002, in a women's Division I game against Charlotte, she had 12 assists, 10 steals, and 10 rebounds. [30][31]

[edit] Quadruple-double

Center David Robinson is the most recent NBA player to accomplish the feat of a quadruple-double by recording at least 10 points, rebounds, assists, and blocks in a game.

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.[32] This feat is extremely rare,[32][33] only four players have officially recorded a quadruple-double in National Basketball Association (NBA) history. The first American male player above the high school level to officially record a quadruple-double is Nate Thurmond, who achieved this feat in 1974 while playing for the NBA's Chicago Bulls. Ann Meyers, who achieved this feat in 1978 when playing for the UCLA Bruins, is the first American female player above the high school level to officially record a quadruple-double. Meyers is also the first player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to record a quadruple-double. Lester Hudson is the first player in NCAA Division I men's basketball history to record a quadruple-double.

[edit] Men's basketball

[edit] National Basketball Association

Quadruple-doubles have only been possible since the 1973–74 season, when the NBA started recording both blocked shots and steals. It is often speculated by observers that other all-time greats, namely Oscar Robertson (all time triple-doubles leader with 181[34][35]), Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell or Jerry West could conceivably have had quadruple-doubles.[33] According to West's biography at NBA.com, he reportedly recorded a quadruple-double after having 44 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks.[36] Wilt Chamberlain also reportedly recorded a quadruple-double in Game 1 of the 1967 Eastern Division Finals against the Boston Celtics, when he had 24 points, 32 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks.[37]

The four players listed below are the only players who have officially recorded a quadruple-double in an NBA game.

  • b  Olajuwon was originally credited a quadruple-double as shown by the box score, however, the NBA stripped Olajuwon of one assist after reviewing the game tape.[48] Although the NBA does not recognize this as a quadruple-double, Olajuwon is still credited with 10 assists in his career statistics.[52]

[edit] Quintuple-double

Quintuple-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in all five statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots) in a single game.[65] Such a feat is extremely rare and has never occurred in the collegiate or the professional level.

One known quintuple-double has occurred at the high school level when Tamika Catchings of Duncanville High School (Duncanville, Texas) recorded 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks in 1997.[66]

Because of the rarity of quintuple-double, five-by-five has been recorded instead.

[edit] Five-by-five

Five-by-five is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates at least five in all five statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks) in a single game.[67] Statistics for steals and blocks were not kept in the NBA until the 1973–74 season, so all NBA five-by-fives are only possible from that season onward. Hakeem Olajuwon (nine times) and Andrei Kirilenko (three times) are the only players to have recorded it multiple times.[67] Both also are the only players to record five-by-sixes.[67]

The following listed players who have recorded a five-by-five since the 1986–87 season:[68]

[edit] Notable NBA Five-by-Five Facts

  • Greatest Five-by-Fives (Most of each stat): Hakeem Olajuwon, on March 10, 1987, became the first in NBA history to record a five-by-six (at least 6 each of all five stats: points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals).[82] It took nearly twenty years for the second official occurrence in NBA history. Andrei Kirilenko, on January 3rd, 2006, recorded a five-by-six against the Lakers. Though his numbers were not quite as impressive as Hakeem's, Andrei Kirilenko performed the feat in regulation. As far as even greater, no one has ever recorded a five-by-seven or higher. But Hakeem was just 1 assist away in the game just mentioned, whereas Andrei Kirilenko was only 1 steal shy in his five-by-six.
  • Greatest Career Five-by-Five (Using Career Highs): Tim Duncan,[83] Hakeem Olajuwon,[84] Andrei Kirilenko,[85] and Chris Webber[86] have achieved career five-by-eights. That is, they all have career highs of at least 8 in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. It is currently unknown whether or not any one has achieved a career five-by-nine. And, this list of people with career five-by-eights may or may not be complete. It is known, however, that no one has ever achieved 10 blocks[87] and 9 steals[88] (even in separate games at any time in his career). So, no one has ever achieved a career quintuple-double.
  • Most Five-by-Fives in a Career: Hakeem Olajuwon leads all players with 6 career five-by-fives.[67] Andrei Kirilenko, with 3, is the only other player with more than one career five-by-five. Other than Olajuwon and Kirilenko, there are seven others with exactly 1 career five-by-five. Five of these seven are listed above and the other two are unknown.
  • Most Five-by-Fives in a Season: The record for most five-by-fives in a season since 1986–87 is at 2. Hakeem was the first to do this, in the 1993–94 season. Andrei Kirilenko became the second NBA player to do so in the 2003–04 season. Worth noting is the fact that Hakeem did achieve 3 five-by-fives in a one-year span. Beside the two from the 1993–94 season, he had another late in the 1992–93 season.
  • Quickest Pair of Five-by-Fives: Since 1986–87 season Andrei Kirilenko performed a five-by-five on December 3, 2003, and completed another just a week later, December 10, 2003. The only other player to complete multiple career five-by-fives, Hakeem Olajuwon, completed a five-by-five on November 5, 1993 and another, 55 days later, on December 30, 1993.
  • Youngest Player: Andrei Kirilenko's first NBA five-by-five came on December 3rd, 2003, making him the youngest to record a five-by-five since 1986–87, at age 22 years, 9 months, and 15 days old.
  • Oldest Player: Since 1986–87 Hakeem Olajuwon is the oldest player to record a five-by-five. His last career five-by-five came on December 30, 1993, at which time he was 30 years, 11 months, and 9 days old.
  • Shortest Player: Because part of a five-by-five includes getting 5 blocks, it is usually very tall players who achieve these. Jamaal Tinsley, however, is the shortest known player to record a five-by-five in an NBA game, at 6 feet, 3 inches. This puts him at about 6 inches shorter than any other player to achieve this feat.
  • Tallest Player: Two players, listed at 7 feet, 1 inch, have achieved a five-by-five, making them the two tallest known players to do so. They are David Robinson and Vlade Divac.
  • Playoff Five-by-Five: It is unknown whether a player has ever achieved a five-by-five in the playoffs. However, it is known that no one has achieved one at any time since the 1991 playoffs.[citation needed]

[edit] Players with 5+ steals and 5+ blocked shots in one game

This is a list of players since the 1986–87 NBA season who have posted totals of five or more in both steals and blocked shots, but did not record a five-by-five.[89] Only regular season games are taken into account.
