Triple-doubles have become common in the NBA. Once thought of as a rare statistical accomplishment, you'd be hard-pressed to go three days in a row during the regular season without seeing one.
Quadruple-doubles? Not so much.
While the number of triple-doubles has skyrocketed in recent years, we might be lucky to see a quadruple-double ever again.
How many quadruple-doubles have there been in the NBA?
In the NBA's 75-year history, only four players have ever posted one.
Three did it by recording at least 10 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks, while one did it by racking up double-digit steals instead of blocks.
The last quadruple-double was posted almost three decades ago.

What NBA players have a quadruple-double?
Nate Thurmond was the first player in NBA history to record a quadruple-double. In an overtime win over the Hawks on Oct. 18, 1974, the Hall of Famer posted 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks.
“The offensive part of my game is the slowest to come," Thurmond said. "I don’t usually put it together for about 20 games, but the shot was there tonight, so I used it. Blocking shots was easier than usual because they drove right into me and didn’t use picks effectively.”
12 years later, Alvin Robertson joined the exclusive club with 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals.
The only other NBA players who have ever finished a game with a quadruple-double are Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson. Olajuwon achieved the rare feat with 18 points, 16 rebounds, 11 blocks and 10 assists compared to 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks for Robinson.
