A quadruple-double is a basketball term, defined as an individual performance in a game in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in four of these five categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. In NBA history, only four players have recorded quadruple-double performances.

Near misses

There have been some notable near misses (within 3 total stats of a quadruple-double):

Speculation

It should be noted that the NBA started recording both blocks and steals in the 1973-74 season, so this particular feat has only been possible since then. As such, some people speculate that Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, two of the best all-around players before that time, might have recorded a quadruple-double, 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 blocks and steals were not official statistics at the time, it will only be speculation.

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. Since such a feat has never happened in the history of the NBA, the term five-by-five has been coined for a game in which a player tallies at least 5 in each of the five aforementioned stats.
