Recording a quadruple-double is probably one of the most impressive achievementsfor a player in an NBA game. Surpassing the ten-point barrier in three different categories is already a huge accomplishment, and doing it in fouris even more mind-blowing.
When a basketballer ends a game with a quadruple-doubleby getting ten or more points, rebounds, steals, blocks, or assists, that goes to the books immediately alongside every other superstar who did it before.
However, a playermay scorea âquadruple-doubleâ but in a worse, sarcasticwayof calling it. It happened many times,evento the greatestofthis sport, thatone of the categories in which they finished with10+was in turnovers.
