I saw this on RealGm, and I wanted to know what people think:a Quintuple Double is like when you get:10 rebs, 10 pts, 10 ast, 10 blks, 10 steals..Is this feat ever possible you think?I dont know..I dont think we will see someone do it for a while...the first name that comes to mind would be Lebron James, or Jason Kidd if it were to happen now.but as for the Qaudruple Double, these are the only 4 players in nba history to achieve it:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Wikipedia.org:Nate Thurmond, October 18, 1974, Chicago vs. Atlanta; 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 12 blocks. Alvin Robertson, February 18, 1986, San Antonio vs. Phoenix; 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals. Hakeem Olajuwon, March 29, 1990, Houston vs. Milwaukee; 18 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 11 blocks. David Robinson, February 17, 1994, San Antonio vs. Detroit; 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks.</div>Wow that is just disguising, those are real monster games, they literally took over the game. But to get 10 steals is something, thats a hard thing to do, plus you would have to play the whole game with no rest to get that.
If you get a quadruple double and get 10 turnovers with that would it count? LBJ and Diaw are good at getting turnovers so I could see both getting close. I know it doesn't count though since TO's aren't a good thing so I don't think this is really possible. I think we will definitely see a quadruple double but I don't know if there will be a guy who dominant in all of those stats. Just getting 10 steals or blocks in a game seems almost impossible.
Yes, amazing someone could ever achieve those numbers. Wouldnt it be great to get those numbers from somebody in fantasy basketball? Haha. I've know that for awhile, just cause theres only 4 guys who have gotten one. Idk if there could ever be anyone to break that. Its hard to pick someone. Kidd would be a contender...but 10 blocks, lol
If anyone was to get a quintuple double it would have to be AK-47; I don't see J-Kidd getting the blocks.
LBJ is the only one that could do this I think right now. Him, Kobe, and Melo might get a qaudruple double.

Andre Kirilinko is more the type of player to do this, more versatile and doesn't have the role like Kobe, Melo, and James have of scoring 30+.10 steals is more in their range though, although even at that AK-47 can probably get better with.Odom could do it to if he had a really good defensive night.

They do good in their role already and if an achievement comes up where they get a quadruple double comes up, then so be it.They have big men for the post as well. :dribble:
AK47 is the one who would do this. He several times has gotten 5x5 games (5 categories with at least five, half a quintuple double) and is one of the only four players in the last 12 years to do that. some of his statlines include10-12-6-6-519-5-7-8-514-8-9-7-6That indicates that he could get a quintuple doubleKG would be the next most likely.
Definitely the only player in the NBA all around enough stat wise is AK47. But a quintuple double will not be done for a long long time. A quadruple double is very unlikely too.
Well, if a player had 10 turnovers to go along with an amazing statline that could also make it a Quintuple Double. I remember LeBron had a triple double in the playoffs last season and 10 turnovers counted as part of it. Just a thought..

It just doesn't (or shouldn't) count.
I think that Kirilenko would have the best chance of getting it out of all the players in the game. You know that he could get you the points and the rebounds. If he has a very good game, he could get you 10 assists. To get 10 blocks AND to get 10 steals in the same night would be near impossible IMO. Although last year AK had a crazy game where he had over 6 blocks and 6 steals, I dont think he had enough assists either. If anybody was to get it, it would be him, but it is never going to happen.
