A quadruple-double is among the rarest achievements in not only basketball, but sports as a whole. The feat occurs when a player records 10 or more in four of five major stat categories in the box score: points, assists, rebounds, steals or blocks.
In the NBA, a quadruple-double has been accomplished only four times in history — including two by San Antonio Spurs players — and the last one happened more than 31 years ago.
In the 2026 playoffs, the Spurs nearly made history once again as Victor Wembanyama recorded 11 points, 15 rebounds, 12 blocks and five assists in a loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Players have gotten close to a quadruple-double a number of times, but here’s the list of the four who reached that pinnacle.
