Double ( Basketball ) - wikipedia Double ( Basketball ) The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( April 2017 ) In basketball, a double is the accumulation of a double - digit number total in one of five statistical categories -- points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots -- in a game. Multiple players usually score double - digit points in any given basketball game ; the double nomenclature is usually reserved for when a player has double - digit totals in more than one category. A double - double is the accumulation of a double - digit number total in two of the statistical five categories in a game. The most common double - double combination is points - rebounds, followed by points - assists. Since the 1983 -- 84 season, Tim Duncan leads the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) in the points - rebounds combination with 840, and John Stockton leads the points - assists combination with 714. A triple - double is the accumulation of a double - digit number total in three of the five categories in a game. The most common way to achieve a triple - double is through points, rebounds, and assists. Oscar Robertson leads the all - time NBA list with 181 career triple - doubles and is, with Russell Westbrook, one of only two players ever to average a triple - double for a season. Westbrook currently holds the record for most triple - doubles in a season with 42 and is the only person to average a triple - double for two consecutive seasons. A quadruple - double is the accumulation of a double - digit number total in four of the five categories in a game. This has occurred four times in the NBA. A quintuple - double is the accumulation of a double - digit number total in all five categories in a game. Two quintuple - doubles have been recorded at the high school level, by Tamika Catchings and Aimee Oertner, but none have occurred in a college or professional game. A similar accomplishment is the five - by - five, which is the accumulation of at least five points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals, and five blocks in a game. In the NBA, only Hakeem Olajuwon and Andrei Kirilenko have accumulated multiple five - by - fives since the 1984 -- 85 season.

For other uses, see Double - double ( disambiguation ). A double - double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double - digit number total in two of five statistical categories -- points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots -- in a game. The most common double - double combination is points and rebounds, followed by points and assists. Double - doubles are fairly common in the NBA. During the 2008 -- 09 season, 69 players who were eligible for leadership in the main statistical categories recorded at least 10 double - doubles during the season. Special double - doubles are rare. One such double - double is called double - double - double ( also referred to as 20 -- 20 or Double - 20 ). It occurs when a player accumulates 20 or more in two different statistical categories in a game. Another such double - double is called a triple - double - double ( also referred to as 30 -- 30 ). The only player in NBA history to record a 40 - 40 is Wilt Chamberlain, who achieved the feat eight times in his career. Of the five instances, four were recorded in his rookie season, and the fifth was achieved the following year where he recorded 78 points and 43 rebounds in a game. NBA Karl Malone ( left ) and John Stockton ( right ) were once teammates on the Utah Jazz in the 1990s. Malone is second in the point - rebound list, Stockton first in points and assists. Tim Duncan is first in points and rebounds.

Chamberlain also holds the second - and third - longest continuous streaks of double - doubles with 220 and 133. This record is before the ABA -- NBA merger in 1976. The longest streak of double - doubles since the merger was 53 games, achieved by Kevin Love, then of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Triple - double `` Triple - double '' redirects here. For volleyball, see Triple - double ( volleyball ). Oscar Robertson has the most NBA career triple - doubles with 181, and was the first of two players to average a triple - double over an entire season. Jason Kidd was one of the most successful players at accumulating triple - doubles with 107. A triple - double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in three of five statistical categories -- points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots -- in a game. The most common way for a player to achieve a triple - double is with points, rebounds, and assists, though on occasion players may record 10 or more steals or blocked shots in a game. The origin of the term `` triple - double '' is unclear. Some sources claim that it was coined by former Los Angeles Lakers public relations director Bruce Jolesch in the 1980s in order to showcase Magic Johnson 's versatility, while others claim that it was coined by then Philadelphia 76ers media relations director Harvey Pollack in 1980. The triple - double became an officially recorded statistic during the 1979 -- 80 season. There has been occasional controversy surrounding triple - doubles made when a player achieves the feat with a late rebound. Players with nine rebounds in a game have sometimes been accused of deliberately missing a shot late in the game in order to recover the rebound ; a few have even gone so far as shooting off their opponent 's basket trying to score a triple - double. To deter this, NBA rules allow rebounds to be nullified if the shot is determined not to be a legitimate scoring attempt. NBA Russell Westbrook is the only player to have recorded a perfect triple - double ( no missed shots and no missed free throws ) in NBA history From the 1990 -- 91 to the 2010 -- 11 season, the NBA averaged 34.5 triple - doubles per season, roughly 1 in every 36 games. From the 2011 -- 12 to the 2016 -- 17 season, the NBA saw a dramatic increase in the number of triple - doubles, with an average of 57.33 triple - doubles per season, roughly 1 in every 22 games. Russell Westbrook was responsible for 74 of the triple - doubles during that span, or 21.5 % of the 344 total triple - doubles. Since the 1983 -- 84 season, 25 triple - doubles have been recorded by players coming off the bench ; Detlef Schrempf recorded three with the Indiana Pacers.

He had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Averaging a triple - double in a single season : Oscar Robertson ( Cincinnati Royals ) and Russell Westbrook ( Oklahoma City Thunder ) are the only players in NBA history to achieve this feat. During the 1961 -- 62 season, Robertson averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists per game. Although Robertson only achieved the feat for a full season once, his cumulative stats over his first 5 seasons gave him an average of 30.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 10.6 assists per game. Westbrook is the only player to achieve this feat twice, that too in consecutive seasons. Westbrook finished the 2016 -- 17 season averaging 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists, and followed it up in 2017 -- 18 with averages of 25.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 10.3 assists. Most triple - doubles in a single season : In 2016 -- 17, Russell Westbrook ( Oklahoma City Thunder ) recorded 42 triple - doubles. Most triple - doubles in road games in a single season : Russell Westbrook ( Oklahoma City Thunder ) recorded 17 of 42 triple - doubles in away games. Most 50 - point triple - doubles in a single season : Russell Westbrook ( Oklahoma City Thunder ) recorded three 50 - point triple - doubles in the 2016 -- 17 season. James Harden is the other player to record more than one 50 - point triple - double with two in the same season. It is more than likely that Wilt Chamberlain recorded many 50 - point triple - doubles during his historic 1961 - 62 NBA season, but they remain unofficial, as steals and blocked shots were not yet recorded as official statistics.

Double - triple - double ( at least 20 of any 3 statistics ) : Wilt Chamberlain ( Philadelphia 76ers ) is the only player to have accomplished this ; in a February 2, 1968 game versus Detroit Pistons, Chamberlain tallied 22 points, 25 rebounds, and 21 assists. Most points scored in a triple - double : James Harden ( Houston Rockets ) holds the record for the most points scored in a triple - double with 60 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists on January 30, 2018, against the Orlando Magic.

These were the first career triple - doubles for both players. The last time that two players had recorded their first career triple - doubles in the same game was when Donnie Butcher and Ray Scott ( Detroit Pistons ) did it on March 14, 1964 ( they were not rookies ).

Before the triple - double being tracked as an NCAA statistic, Oscar Robertson ( Cincinnati ) had 10 -- five in 1958 -- 59 and five in 1959 -- 60. Women 's : Sabrina Ionescu ( Oregon, 2016 -- present ) with 10 -- four in 2016 -- 17 and six in 2017 -- 18. Consecutive triple - doubles : In Division I men 's play, David Edwards ( Texas A&M ), Penny Hardaway ( Memphis State ), Tony Lee ( Robert Morris ), Gerald Lewis ( SMU ), Shaquille O'Neal ( LSU ), and Kevin Roberson ( Vermont ) each recorded two consecutive games with a triple - double. In women 's play, Danielle Carson ( Youngstown State ), Kim Rhock ( Mount St. Mary 's ), Nicole Powell ( Stanford ), Ashley Schrock ( Cleveland State ), Claire Faucher ( Portland State ), Brittney Griner ( Baylor ), Ny Hammonds ( Charlotte ), and Ionescu have accomplished this feat. Uniquely, Danielle Carson recorded three consecutive triple - doubles in the 1985 -- 86 season, becoming the only Division I player of either sex to do so. She began by recording 12 points, 10, rebounds, and 12 assists against Akron on November 29, 1985. The following day, she recorded 20 points, 12 rebounds, and at least 20 assists against Kent State ( her exact assists total in that game is unknown ). Finally, on December 2 against Cleveland State, Carson recorded 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 14 assists.

Triple - doubles in NCAA tournament history : Men 's The NCAA began keeping track of assists for men 's basketball in 1984, then blocks and steals in 1986, so officially this has occurred eight times. However, many tournaments had included assists, steals and blocks in their official boxscores prior to that time, so unofficially this has occurred 16 times. Only three pre-1986 triple - doubles are included below.

On February 3, 2002, in a women 's Division I game against Charlotte, she had 12 assists, 10 steals, and 10 rebounds. Quadruple - double Center David Robinson is the most recent NBA player to accomplish the feat of a quadruple - double by recording at least 10 points, rebounds, assists, and blocks in a game. A quadruple - double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in four of five statistical categories -- points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots -- in a game. This feat is extremely rare : only four players have officially recorded a quadruple - double in National Basketball Association ( NBA ) history. The first American male player above the high school level to officially record a quadruple - double was Nate Thurmond, who achieved this feat in 1974 while playing for the NBA 's Chicago Bulls. The first American female player above the high school level to officially record a quadruple - double was Ann Meyers, who achieved this feat in 1978 while playing for the UCLA Bruins, when women 's college sports were under the auspices of the AIAW. The first male player in NCAA Division I history to record a quadruple - double was Lester Hudson in 2007. The first Division I women 's player to have officially recorded a quadruple - double since the NCAA began sponsoring women 's sports in 1981 -- 82 was Veronica Pettry of Loyola -- Chicago in 1989. Only three other women have done so since, and Shakyla Hill 's quadruple - double for Grambling State in 2018 was the first since 1993. An earlier player, Jackie Spencer of Louisville, accomplished the feat against Cincinnati during the 1984 -- 85 season, but the NCAA did not record assists and steals throughout Division I women 's basketball at that time. The Metro Conference, then home to both schools, did officially record these statistics, but the NCAA did not start doing so until 1985 -- 86 for assists and 1987 -- 88 for steals. NBA Quadruple - doubles have only been possible since the 1973 -- 74 season, when the NBA started recording both blocked shots and steals. It is often speculated by observers that other all - time greats, namely Oscar Robertson ( all time triple - doubles leader with 181 ), Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Jerry West could conceivably have had quadruple - doubles. West 's biography at NBA.com claims that he once recorded an unofficial quadruple - double with 44 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks. A biography of Wilt Chamberlain claims that he also recorded an unofficial quadruple - double in Game 1 of the 1967 Eastern Division Finals against the Boston Celtics, when he had 24 points, 32 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks. The reason why ( the quadruple - double ) is such a hard thing to accomplish is because it requires a player to be completely dominant on both ends of the court without being too selfish -- so he can get the assists -- and without fouling out trying to block every shot or grab every rebound. A lot of guys can get the points, rebounds and assists, but it 's the defensive stuff that messes everybody up. You have to love defense to get a quadruple - double. There 's no way around it. -- Nate Thurmond, The four players listed below are the only players who have officially recorded a quadruple - double in an NBA game. Except for Thurmond, who retired before the award was established in 1983, all of them have won NBA Defensive Player of the Year at least once. Robertson is the only player who was not a center to accomplish the feat, doing so with steals rather than blocks. * Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Name Date Team Score Opponent Min Points Reb Assists Steals Blocks Overtime Ref Nate Thurmond * October 18, 1974 Chicago Bulls 120 -- 115 Atlanta Hawks 45 22 14 13 12 Yes ( OT ) Alvin Robertson February 18, 1986 San Antonio Spurs 120 -- 114 Phoenix Suns 36 20 11 10 10 0 No Hakeem Olajuwon * March 29, 1990 Houston Rockets 120 -- 94 Milwaukee Bucks 40 18 16 10 11 No David Robinson * February 17, 1994 San Antonio Spurs 115 -- 96 Detroit Pistons 43 34 10 10 10 No Only seven other players ( Clyde Drexler did it twice ) have managed to finish with triple - doubles and a total of 9 in a fourth statistical category ( statistical categories in which they fell short are in bold ) : Name Date Team Opponent Minutes played Points Rebounds Assists Steals Blocks Overtime Reference Rick Barry * October 29, 1974 Golden State Warriors Buffalo Braves 43 30 10 11 9 -- No Larry Steele November 16, 1974 Portland Trail Blazers Los Angeles Lakers 44 12 11 9 10 -- No Johnny Moore January 8, 1985 San Antonio Spurs Golden State Warriors 36 26 11 13 9 -- No Larry Bird * February 18, 1985 Boston Celtics Utah Jazz 33 30 12 10 9 -- No Micheal Ray Richardson October 30, 1985 New Jersey Nets Indiana Pacers 54 38 11 11 9 -- Yes ( 3 OT ) Clyde Drexler * January 10, 1986 Portland Trail Blazers Milwaukee Bucks 42 26 9 11 10 -- No Hakeem Olajuwon * March 3, 1990 Houston Rockets Golden State Warriors 40 29 18 9 5 11 No Clyde Drexler * November 1, 1996 Houston Rockets Sacramento Kings 42 25 10 9 10 -- No Notes Bird sat out the entire fourth quarter. After three quarters, head coach K.C. Jones informed Bird that he was one steal away from a quadruple - double and asked if he wanted to stay in the game. Bird declined, saying that he `` already did enough damage. '' Olajuwon was credited with 9 assists in the original box score. However, after Rockets officials reviewed the game tape and discovered what they believe was an uncredited assist in the first quarter, they revised the box score, crediting Olajuwon with 10 assists and the third quadruple - double in NBA history. NBA 's director of operations, Rod Thorn, requested to review the tape. After reviewing the tape, the league disallowed Olajuwon 's quadruple - double and announced that his original line -- with 9 assists -- is official.

Although the Metro Conference, then home to both teams involved in this game, kept records in all of the relevant statistical categories in the 1984 -- 85 season, the NCAA did not. Assists were not recorded throughout Division I women 's basketball until 1985 -- 86, and steals were not so recorded until 1987 -- 88. Jump up ^ Although Gonzales played for a school that is now a member of NCAA Division II, the NCAA does not consider her quadruple - double to be official for two reasons. First, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, then as now home to both teams involved in this game, then competed in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics ( NAIA ), and was not an NCAA conference until 1992 -- 93. In addition, the NCAA did not record steals throughout Division II women 's basketball until 1992 -- 93. Quintuple - double A quintuple - double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double - digit number total in all five statistical categories -- points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots -- - in a single game. There are only two known quintuple - doubles, both done at the high - school level. The first was recorded by Tamika Catchings of Duncanville High School ( Duncanville, Texas ) and Adlai Stevenson High School ( Lincolnshire, Illinois ) with 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks in 1997. The second was by Aimee Oertner of Northern Lehigh High School ( Slatington, Pennsylvania ), who had 26 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals, and 11 blocks on January 7, 2012. Five - by - five A five - by - five is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a total of five in five statistical categories -- points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks -- in a single game. Statistics for steals and blocks were not kept in the NBA until the 1973 -- 74 season, so NBA five - by - fives were only possible from that season onward. Hakeem Olajuwon ( six times ) and Andrei Kirilenko ( three times ) are the only players to have recorded multiple five - by - fives ( based on records since the 1984 -- 85 season ). Both are also the only players to record five - by - sixes ( at least six in all five statistical categories ). Only twice has a five - by - five coincided with a triple - double ( both by Olajuwon ; one of which was 1 assist shy of a quadruple double ) and only three times has a player recorded a five - by - five without registering at least a double - double ( two by Kirilenko and one by Marcus Camby ). NBA The following is a list of known five - by - fives. Note the list contains all five - by - fives since the 1984 -- 85 season, as well as one before. There may be other five - by - fives in the NBA that occurred before the 1984 -- 85 season.

It took nearly twenty years for the second official occurrence in NBA history. Andrei Kirilenko, on January 3, 2006, recorded a five - by - six against the Lakers. Though his numbers were not quite as impressive as Olajuwon 's, Kirilenko performed the feat in regulation. Most five - by - fives in a career : Hakeem Olajuwon leads all players with 6 career five - by - fives. Andrei Kirilenko, with 3, is the only other player with more than one career five - by - five. Most five - by - fives in the same season : Only twice has a player recorded two five - by - fives in a season. Olajuwon in the 1993 -- 94 season, and Kirilenko in the 2003 -- 04 season. Quickest pair of five - by - fives : Kirilenko performed a five - by - five on December 3, 2003, and completed another just a week later, on December 10, 2003. The second - quickest five - by - fives were completed by Olajuwon on November 5, 1993, and another, 55 days later, on December 30, 1993. Youngest player : Kirilenko 's first NBA five - by - five came on December 3, 2003, making him the youngest to record a five - by - five at age 22 years, 288 days. Oldest player : Olajuwon is the oldest player to record a five - by - five. His last career five - by - five came on December 30, 1993, at which time he was 30 years, 343 days old. Five - by - sixes : Olajuwon and Kirilenko are the only players to achieve this feat in NBA history. References Jump up ^ Woods, David. ( July 17, 2014 ).
