Quadruple Doubles in the NBA:

Player           Pt Rb As St Bk
Nate Thurmond    22 14 13    12

Since Steals and Blocked Shots
stats weren't kept before the
1973-74 season, I'm sure there
would be several more players
on this list. In 1967-68, Wilt
Chamberlain averaged 24.3
points, 23.8 rebounds, and led
the league in assists with 8.6
per game. He also played 46.8
minutes per game, so it
wouldn't be too hard for him to
have gotten 10 assists and 10
locked shots in the same game.
In 1966-67, Bill Russell
averaged 13.3 points, 21.0
rebounds, and 5.8 assists. He
could easily have gotten 10
blocks in several games. Alvin
obertson probably isn't the
only guard to do it.
In Oscar Robertson's first 5
seasons, he played in 384
games, averaging 30.3 points,
10.4 rebounds, and 10.6 assists
in 44.4 minutes per game! It
would be hard for me to believe
that a very quick guard like
him who averaged a triple-
double for 5 years couldn't get
10 steals a few times. And Nate
Thurmond was 33 years old when
he got the most impressive
quadruple-double on the list.
How many other times did he do
it when he was younger?
