Double-double

In basketball, a double-double is a single-game performance in which a player accumulates ten or more in two of the following five statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. The first "double" in the term refers to the two categories and the second "double" refers to accumulating ten or more in that category. Similarly, a player records a triple-double, quadruple-double, and quintuple-double when accumulating ten or more in three, four, or all five of the statistical categories, respectively. While double-doubles and triple-doubles occur regularly each NBA season, only four quadruple-doubles have ever officially been recorded in the NBA, and no quintuple-double has ever been recorded in a professional basketball game. A similar term, the five-by-five, is the accumulation of at least five in all five statistical categories. It is rarely done.

Double-double

A double-double is a performance in which a player accumulates a double-digit 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. During the 2008–09 NBA season, 69 players who were eligible for leadership in the main statistical categories recorded at least ten double-doubles during the season.
Since the season, Tim Duncan leads the National Basketball Association in the points–rebounds combination with 841 double-doubles, John Stockton leads the points–assists combination with 714, and Russell Westbrook leads the rebounds–assists combinations with 142. Since the season, Tim Duncan also holds the record for most total career double-doubles in the NBA, having recorded 841. In league history, the record for most career double-doubles is 968, held by Wilt Chamberlain.
Special double-doubles are rare. One such achievement is sometimes called a 20–20, double double-double, or double-20, when a player accumulates 20 or more in two statistics in a game. Another similar feat is a 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, four of which were in his rookie season.Longest continuous streak of double-doubles: According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Wilt Chamberlain holds the record with 227 consecutive double-doubles from 1964 to 1967. 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 is actively 61 games, achieved by Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings.Youngest player: Tracy McGrady, aged 18 years and 175 days, logged a double-double on November 15, 1997, versus the Indiana Pacers. He had 10 points and 11 rebounds.Oldest player: Dikembe Mutombo, aged 42 years and 289 days, logged a double-double on April 10, 2009, versus the Golden State Warriors. He had 10 points and 15 rebounds.

Triple-double

A triple-double is a single-game performance by a player who 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 in the NBA 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 earliest known appearances of the phrase in print come from October 1980 issues of the Los Angeles Times, although, as early as 1974, Bob Ryan wrote in The Boston Globe that "John Havlicek just missed a triple double-figure night."

Triple-doubles in the NBA

The triple-double became an officially recorded statistic in the NBA during the. That season, there were 32 triple-doubles, 12 more than the previous season. From the to the s, the NBA recorded a total of 543 triple-doubles, or 45.25 triple-doubles per season. This can be largely attributed to Magic Johnson, who was responsible for 137 of this timespan's triple-doubles, or about 25.23% of them. After Johnson retired in 1991, the number of triple-doubles in the league declined. From the to the s, there were only 841 triple-doubles, or about 35.04 triple-doubles per season. Jason Kidd recorded the most triple-doubles in this timespan with 107, which was 68 more than second placed LeBron James. However, in the, the number of triple-doubles recorded in the NBA grew from 46 to 75. From the to the, the NBA recorded 352 triple doubles, which was approximately 117.33 triple-doubles per season. Over those three years, Russell Westbrook recorded 101 triple-doubles—28.69% of all triple-doubles in that timespan.
During the 2017 NBA season on February 10, 2017, Warriors forward Draymond Green became the first player in NBA history to achieve a triple double without scoring 10 points. Green had 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals and 4 points while contributing to his team's victory over the Memphis Grizzlies 122–107.
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. One such case involved a player shooting at his own team's basket. On March 16, 2003, the Cleveland Cavaliers were up 120–95 against the Utah Jazz with four seconds left in the fourth quarter. Following an inbounded ball, Cavaliers guard Ricky Davis shot the ball off his own team's basket to secure the final rebound for a triple-double. The move was criticized by players, coaches, and the media. To deter this, NBA rules allow rebounds to be nullified if the shot is determined not to be a legitimate scoring attempt.
Russell Westbrook holds the NBA record for career triple-doubles with 205. He, Oscar Robertson and Nikola Jokić are the only three players to average a triple-double over a season, with Robertson and Jokić achieving the feat once and Westbrook achieving the feat four times. Magic Johnson holds the playoff record for career triple-doubles with 30.

WNBA

Triple-doubles have been rarer in the WNBA than in the NBA; the games are shorter in the WNBA, there are fewer games in a season, and the playing style in the WNBA is more of a team game than relying on star players. As of the 2025 season, 56 triple-doubles have been recorded in the WNBA. Alyssa Thomas has the all-time record with twenty five, and no other player has more than four.
Alyssa Thomas scored the third overall playoff triple-double and first WNBA Finals triple-double on September 15, 2022 against the Las Vegas Aces, and the fourth the following game on September 18. Thomas recorded four of her career triple-doubles in the 2022 season, and her fifth through eleventh in the 2023 season. In the 2025 season, Thomas became the first player to record a triple-double in three straight games. She recorded a triple-double in games on August 3, August 5, and August 7 of that season.
On June 12, 2022 in a New York Liberty game, Ionescu became the fourth and youngest WNBA player to achieve multiple triple doubles in a career, while also being the first to both achieve a triple double in three quarters and register at least 12 of each statistic for the triple double.
In June 2022, Parker became both the first person to reach three triple doubles overall, as well as achieve two or more triple doubles in the same season.
On July 6, 2024, Caitlin Clark became the first rookie to record a triple double in the WNBA, as well as the first player to record a triple double against the team with the best record in the WNBA.
The following is a list of all WNBA triple-doubles, with the playoff triple-doubles highlighted in italics. Bold numbers indicate the statistic relevant to the triple double.

NCAA Division I

Most triple-doubles in a career:

* Men's: Kyle Collinsworth with 12 — six in BYU Cougars [men's basketball">BYU Cougars men's basketball">BYU Cougars [men's basketball team|2014–15] and six again as a senior in 2015–16. Before the triple-double being tracked as an NCAA statistic, Oscar Robertson had 10—five in 1958–59 and five in 1959–60.
** Although BYU was forced to vacate all but one of its wins in the 2015–16 season due to improper benefits provided by boosters to another BYU player, Collinsworth's triple-double record was not affected.
* Women's: Sabrina Ionescu with 26 – four in 2016–17, six in 2017–18, eight in 2018–19, and eight in 2019–20.Consecutive triple-doubles: In Division I men's play, David Edwards, Penny Hardaway, Tony Lee, Gerald Lewis, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kevin Roberson each recorded two consecutive games with a triple-double.Most triple-doubles in a single season:
* Men's: Kyle Collinsworth, with six – performed twice: in the 2014–15 season, and again in 2015–16.
* Women's: Sabrina Ionescu, with eight in the 2018–19 season.Triple-doubles in NCAA tournament history:

Others

* Kalara McFadyen of Memphis achieved perhaps the most unusual triple-double in history, and she did it without scoring a point or even attempting a shot from either the field or the free-throw line. On February 3, 2002, in a women's Division I game against Charlotte, she had 12 assists, 10 steals, and 10 rebounds.

FIBA European Champions Cup and EuroLeague

Much like the WNBA, there are a few reasons why triple-doubles are far more rare in the EuroLeague than in the NBA. The games are 40 minutes long — 8 minutes shorter than in the NBA — there are 34 games in a season compared to the NBA's 82, and various rules — such as those on assists — are stricter than that of the NBA. As of 2024, only eight triple-doubles have been recorded in EuroLeague history, and only four in the modern era of Euroleague basketball. The following is a list of all eight of these triple-doubles:

Quadruple-double

A quadruple-double is a single-game performance by a player who accumulates ten or more 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 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 the only player to have recorded a quadruple-double since 1993 is Shakyla Hill of Grambling State, who accomplished the feat in 2018 and 2019. 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, 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 four players listed below are the only players who have officially recorded a quadruple-double in an NBA game. Save Thurmond, who retired before the award was established in 1983, all of them have won NBA Defensive Player of the Year at least once. Alvin Robertson is the only player who was not a center to accomplish the feat, doing so with steals rather than blocks.

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 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.

Quintuple-double

A quintuple-double is a single-game performance by a player who accumulates double-digits in all five statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots—in a single game. There are only six known officially recorded quintuple-doubles, almost entirely done at the girls' high-school level. The first was recorded by Tamika Catchings of Duncanville High School with 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals, and 10 blocks in 1997.

Wilt Chamberlain allegedly recorded a quintuple-double on March 18, 1968 with 53 points, 32 rebounds, 14 assists, 24 blocks, and 11 steals. However, before 1974, which was after Chamberlain's retirement, steals and blocks were not officially recorded by the NBA. Statistician Harvey Pollack, who spectated the game, reported that Chamberlain might have had more than one quintuple-double.
As of January 2023, there is no overlap between the 14 players who have recorded 10+ steals in an NBA game and the 36 players who have recorded 10+ blocks in a game; in other words, no NBA player's career-high stat line is a quintuple-double. The best single-game career high in blocks for a player with a game of 10+ steals is 5 by Draymond Green, and the best single-game career high in steals for a player with a game of 10+ blocks is 8.

Five-by-five

A five-by-five is 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 all NBA five-by-fives are known only from that season onward. Hakeem Olajuwon, Andrei Kirilenko, and Victor Wembanyama are the only players to have recorded multiple five-by-fives. Olajuwon and Kirilenko are also the only players to record six-by-fives. Only twice has a five-by-five coincided with a triple-double and only three times has a player recorded a five-by-five without registering at least a double-double.
