Quadruple Doubles in NBA History:

Date      Player            Team     Opponent  Points  Rebounds  Assists  Steals  Blocks
10\18\74  Nate Thurmond     Bulls    Hawks     22      14        13               12
02\18\86  Alvin Robertson   Spurs    Suns      20      11        10       10
03\29\90  Hakeem Olajuwon   Rockets  Bucks     18      16        10               11
02\17\94  David Robinson    Spurs    Pistons   34      10        10               10

There have been 7 times a player was within 1 stat of achieving a quadruple double.
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 blocked 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 Robertson 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?
