quadruple double in NBA

[duskovujosevic]

will we witness one in 21 century?

in my opinion noah might be closest to achieve one in near future

[IncarceratedBob]

if any nba team can somehow convince vassilis spanoulis to come and play over here then he might get one or two. other than that i cant think of anyone, noah, rondo, cp3 maybe

[MP.Trey]

No but I saw someone record a quad seoson at the YMCA once.

[Jlamb47]

I think Noah, Rondo, Westbrook are capable

[kamil]

I think Noah, Rondo, Westbrook are capable

CP3 should be able to pull it off over Rondo; steals.

[r0drig0lac]

williams michael carter, rondo, rubio and maybe Anthony davis. Only those

[duskovujosevic]

too bad we don't have goat versatile C's like hakeem. anthony davis will be interesting, but he lacks b-ball IQ. on the other hand we have guards capable of triple doubles, but last category steals are hardest part

[Andrei89]

Anthony Davis will pull it off one time.

He will have points,assists, rebounds and blocks in double digits. I have no doubt in my mind if he stays healthy he will not pull it off in the future.

Kid is a beast.

[no pun intended]

I was one block away from getting with Noah in NBA 2K11 ):

[USABall]

Anthony Davis: points, rebounds, blocks, assists?

Chris Paul and/or Tony Parker (I could see him doing it with Team France especially, if trusted with the capacity/workload): points, rebounds, assists, steals?

[Levity]

possibly, and if it does, itll most likely be against the Lakers if Mike D is still the coach.

[Genaro]

I don't think we will. Maybe Noah could do it or Davis if he develop the passing skills.

I think it's more realistic to wait for a 5-by-5

Well, Duncan was 2 blocks shy of a quadruple double in 03 Finals game 6.

21 pts / 20 rebs / 10 assts / 8 blks

Fk that.

2 blocks shy is not like 2 rebounds shy.

It is much more difficult to get blocks.

Does not count and was nowhere near a Quadruple double imho.

[DMV2]

Yeah, Davis has the best shot because of blocks. He can get assists on a generous night, esp when he knows he's about to get quad-doubles.

Aren't steals really hard to get in terms of double digits? So I don't see a guard or small forward doing it anytime soon.

I don't think you get to decide whether points, rebounds, assists or blocks are greater than each other. There is a precise definition of a quadruple double.

Who is closer in the 21st century?

Bro I am not trying to start a debate here. I personally respect Tim Duncan and his game

But 2 blocks shy is not close to a Quadruple Double and that is my opinion.

More meaningful than any of the quad doubles in recorded history seeing as it was a championship game against the #1 defense in the NBA.

As for the topic, Davis has the best shot. Young, lots of upside, and plenty of games to pad his stats seeing as he's on a bad team.

[DMV2]

Getting double digits.

1. Hardest to 5. Easiest
1. Steals
2. Blocks (#1 for guards and SF)
3. Assists
4. Rebounds
5. Points

I think so anyway.

[Rake2204]

Relatively speaking, I think a bigman quad would be more attainable through less dominance (if that's even possible when discussing a quadruple double). It feels as though a guard would have to be creating their own scoring opportunities, crashing the boards and outbattling much larger opponents, diving into the lane and dishing, and then correctly playing an overabundance of passing lanes.

On the flip side, a guy with very, very raw talent (say, Andre Drummond) could pick up 10 points and 10 rebounds by default, simply by standing near the rim on both ends. This will sound overly simplistic (because it is), but if a team is committed to doubling a guy like Dwight Howard in the post all evening, and he makes the simple passes out (at which point his shooters make the defense pay), he could have ten assists by correctly reacting as opposed to single-handily creating. I suppose to a point, the same could be said for the blocks aspect. If a team is committed to attacking the paint all night, a great shot blocker could stumble upon some steep numbers by patrolling the paint correctly.

Quadruple doubles are rare for a reason, but I believe they're rarer still for guards, so it is interesting to me to see all those names pop up (Paul, Parker, Rubio). I think with a regularly triple-doubling lanky point the likelihood escalates (Rondo) but still falls behind big man capabilities in this regard.

[duskovujosevic]

michael carter williams was pretty close couple of months ago

22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds

[joeyjoejoe]

Cp3 has had two triple doubles with 7 steals

[Draz]

10 blocks sounds ridiculous. Steals seem to be easier accomplished

Too bad if he did record it with that team percentage it's just not to be taken seriously.

He would be the only one playing on that team. I wouldn't second look it to be honest.

u realize there are 86 years left right? :facepalm

You'll probably be dead much sooner than that.

It's a big man's game after all, though.

Since 1973-73 season:
10+ BLK in a game: 43 different players, 154 different times.
10+ STL in a game: 18 different players, 22 different times.

That doesn't include Wilt or Russell, so the disparity would be even higher.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/blk_game.html since 1986 though, still fills up the entire page
http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/stl_game.html since 1986, only 13 times

[duskovujosevic]

more or less here we are left approximately 40 years untill some cancer or other disease end our life. considering that game changes rapidly. rule changes in favour to guards, real C's who are in my opinion best suited for quadruple double are becoming extinct species, future for another record is not so bright.

[DMV2]

Noah had an 11 block game last year (2/28/13), so OP might be right. This season, Noah's been dishing out like 10+ dimes six times already. 14x of 8 or more assists.

But his most blocks in a game this season is only 5.

The only thing is I've seen Duncan gets 2 blocks in one play a ton and even 3 in a row a couple times like against Zach Randolph:

http://youtu.be/w1RvA7QI0TM

You don't get that luxury with steals though.

[DMV2]

This now makes me want to see how many times Wilt and Russell had 10+ blocks in a game. :lol

[JimmyMcAdocious]

10 rebounds is easier than 10 assists, generally speaking.

Noah will, tho.

[BrownEye007]

I doubt it. How many times have you seen somebody record 10 blocks or steals? Triple doubles are always points assists rebounds. Defensive stats are to hard to compile like that.

[scott0326]

McGee had a 10 block game a few years ago. He would never get assists needed though.

[(e)]

I'd have to say Noah would be the most likely. He had two triple doubles last season...

11 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists
23 points, 21 rebounds, 11 blocks

This season he's had a few more with points, rebounds, and assists - and been a couple rebounds or assists shy way more times. I imagine if Noah ever has another game nearing 10 blocks, he'd go for a quad double.

[mugiwara]

Dante Exum will be the next, heard it here first.

[bdreason]

Anthony Davis would be my choice with Points, Rebounds, Blocks, and Assists or Steals. Noah is also a good choice.

[King Boozer]

Noah has had 4 trip dubs this season so far :applause:


Noah's closest quads this season, with the minimum in Blks & Stls being 4 (Reb, Ast, Blk, Pts)


vs. Spurs - 10, 8, 4, 10
vs. Heat - 12, 7, 4, 20
vs. Kings - 11, 8, 5, 23
vs. Sixers - 10, 6, 4, 14


He hasn't had more than 5 blks in a game this season though :(

Closest quads with Steals (Reb, Ast, Blk, Stl, Pts)


vs. Pacers - 13, 6, 0, 4, 12
vs. Pacers - 8, 8, 3, 4, 10


^ That was just in the past week or so. He didn't record a block in the first one though and hasn't gotten more than 4 steals in a game this season.


The way he is playing right now though. I would not be surprised if he gets one before season's end. Imagine how even more active he'd be in the playoffs!


Also, Thaddeus Young got close to a quad this season


vs. Mavericks - 13, 6, 7, 30 (Reb, Ast, Stl, Pts)



Also, imagine if K.Love played defense! :D

[SHABBA]

Kawhi could maybe do it, or Millsap/Thad Young.
