some NBA records questions?

Question

- did any1 ever score a triple double, but w/ 20....therefore 20 or more in 3 categories?

-any1 ever have a quadruple double....double figures in 4 categories

Answer 1

For your first question, it is actually called a "Double Triple Double". The only player to ever do it was Wilt Chamberlain. On February 4, 1968 he had 22 points, 25 rebounds, and 21 assists.

For your second question, steals and blocks were not kept as an official stat until the 1973-1974 season. Wilt Chamberlain most likely had a few "unofficial" quadruple doubles, but because steals and blocks weren't kept until the season after he retired, he doesn't get credit for them. Officially, there have only been four players to accomplish a quadruple double:

Nate Thurmond - October 18, 1974, 22 pts, 14 rebs, 13 assts, 12 blks

Alvin Robertson - February 18, 1986, 20 pts, 11 rebs, 10 assts, 10 stls

Hakeem Olajuwon, March 29, 1990 18pts, 16 rebs, 10 assts, 11 blks

David Robinson, Feb 17, 1994, 34 pts, 10 rebs, 10 assts, 10 blks
