Name, Date, Team, Score, Opponent, Minutes played, Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Overtime, Reference

Nate Thurmond* October 18, 1974 Chicago Bulls 120–115 Atlanta Hawks 45 22 14 13 0 or 1 12 Yes (OT) [77]
Alvin Robertson February 18, 1986 San Antonio Spurs 120–114 Phoenix Suns 36 20 11 10 10 0 No [78]
Hakeem Olajuwon* March 29, 1990 Houston Rockets 120–94 Milwaukee Bucks 40 18 16 10 1 11 No [79]
David Robinson* February 17, 1994 San Antonio Spurs 115–96 Detroit Pistons 43 34 10 10 2 10 No [80]

There is a controversy over Olajuwon doing it twice.
But the NBA only officially recognizes these four if I know my history.

Don't know Nate Thurmond, but those other players would be good company!
 
He was the best defensive center. Good at offense. Chamberlain and Jabbar feared him.

iirc, Drexler almost did it twice with Portland and Houston, and I think Larry Steele almost did it once too.

Barton had a good game and led the Nuggets but he didn't lead all scorers. Davis had 36 and Tyreke Evans had 25 also.
I do agree the Nuggets will play him and that will help him for sure. I jumped over to a Nugget thread and they are pretty pleased with him to this point though some are still calling him a low BBIQ guy.

Yeah lots of people have almost done it.
Bird, Kidd, Duncan, Mullen, KG, Bibby, Shaq.
I'm sure there are others.
I think CP3 had a triple double and 7 steals? IDK.

I remember in an nba finals game Duncan had some insane line of 20p/20r/10a/8 blocks. Most underrated player of his generation.

Duncan is the best PF to ever play the game. I think there would be many in sports journalism that would agree. I don't think he's underrated. Hell, he made the Allstar game at dinosaur age! Lol

If you count TOVs, Westbrick almost had 3 quadruple-doubles in a row:

3/8/2015 - 30 pts, 11 reb, 17 ast, 9 TOV
3/11/2015 - 24 pts, 9 reb, 7 ast, 10 TOV
3/13/2014 - 29 pts, 10 reb, 12 ast, 8 TOV

TOVs is one of the main reasons Westbrook has a historically a low scoring average for someone with a historically high USG%. TOVs count as used possessions and Westbrook is averaging 6.3 TOVs per 100 possessions. That's 50% more TOVs that Kobe and Michael when they posted their USG% > 38 seasons. They both also averaged over 35 ppg compared to Westbrook's 27.5 ppg. As I commented previously, Russell Westbrook is on pace to be the first player in league history to post USG% > 38 and ppg < 35 (and he's not even close). High TOVs, combined with a lackluster FG%, are the reasons why.

If he wins regular season MVP, it will be a travesty. He's padding his stats by putting up a shit ton of shots and paying off the OKC official scorekeeper. That "tip" that they counted as a rebound after the fact (and after he begged the scorekeeper to give him credit for it), was a joke. At that moment, somewhere out there, Ricky Davis was embarrassed for Russell Westbrook. Davis may have done some crazy shit in the name of chasing a triple-double, but he never had to beg the official scorekeeper to alter the boxscore to give him one.

100% agree. He's become so unbearable as of late. Durant being injured has somehow turned him into something AI would be embarrassed of

Yep, even during Iverson's highest USG% season, he had a lower USG% than Westbrook, but still averaged 4 more ppg.

All the gushing over Westbrook's "historic" play makes me sick. Never in the history of the NBA has a player used so many possessions so inefficiently.

Mark Jackson definitely has a conflict of interest. He's lobbying hard for Westbrook for MVP because if Curry wins it, it makes Jackson look bad (make that worse). After listening to Jackson slobber all over Westbrook, in a game his team lost due to his selfish play, I hope Curry wins MVP and Kerr COY.

Did he actually do that? I'd be embarrassed as a fan if a player on a team was begging for a stat.

Yep, that's exactly what he did. He attempted a tip in that came nowhere close to going in, and then after he came out of the game, he signaled to the official scorer that he should get credit for a rebound on the play. So, he came out of the game with 9 rebounds, but the final boxscore lists him with 10 rebounds and another triple-double. I'm not sure what the official rule is these days, but when I was in high school/college (yeah, it's been a while), you only got credit for an offensive rebound on a tip if you tipped it in. If you did, it was consider a controlled tip and you got 2-points and credit for an offensive rebound. If you missed the tip, it was considered an uncontrolled tip and you didn't get credit for a rebound. That's exactly what Westbrook's phantom 10th rebound was - an uncontrolled tip that would up in the hands of an opposing player. Giving him credit for an offensive rebound on that play was complete bullshit.

Here's a description of the events from nba.com:
