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 (double) categories and the second "double" refers to accumulating ten or more (typically double digits) 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,{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=granderson/090311 |title=Will the NBA ever produce another quadruple-double? |date=March 11, 2009 |work=ESPN.com |access-date=June 5, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090825085150/http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=granderson%2F090311 |archive-date=August 25, 2009 |url-status=live }} 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.{{cite news |first=Mike |last=McAllister |title=Around the NBA |work=Knight Ridder Tribune News Service |page=1 |date=February 28, 2003 |quote=Kevin Garnett has a league-leading 47 double-doubles this season – all of them from the points-rebounds combination.

Since the {{nbay|1983}} season, Tim Duncan leads the National Basketball Association (NBA) 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 {{nbay|1983}} 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.{{cite web |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-081209 |title=Daily Dime: Howard Shows He Has The Superhero (And Villain) Stuff |date=December 9, 2008 |work=ESPN.com |access-date=February 28, 2010 |first=J.A. |last=Adande |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207070956/http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-081209 |archive-date=February 7, 2009 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/nba/recap/_/id/291109020/phoenix-suns-vs-philadelphia-76ers |title=Phoenix at Philadelphia recap: Suns top century mark for eighth straight game to open season |date=November 9, 2009 |work=ESPN.com |access-date=February 28, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103094809/http://espn.go.com/nba/recap/_/id/291109020/phoenix-suns-vs-philadelphia-76ers |archive-date=November 3, 2012 |url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/aroundtheassociation/061122.html |title=Around The Association: Someone Get The Man Some Glasses |work=NBA.com |publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc |first=Chris |last=Rosenbluth |date=November 22, 2006 |access-date=February 28, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108091809/http://www.nba.com/aroundtheassociation/061122.html |archive-date=November 8, 2012 |url-status=dead}} Another similar feat is a 30–30.{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=301112016 |title=New York at Minnesota recap: Kevin Love posts NBA's 1st 30–30 game in 28 years as Knicks fade in 4th |date=November 12, 2010 |work=ESPN.com |access-date=December 17, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203164322/http://espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=301112016 |archive-date=December 3, 2010 |url-status=dead }} 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.{{cite web|url=http://bkref.com/tiny/GPkZZ|title=Player Game Finder|work=basketball-reference.com |access-date=May 16, 2019}}

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.{{cite news |first=David |last=DuPree |title=Hill the leader in triple-double versatility |work=USA Today |page=10.C |date=April 10, 1997 |quote=The most common triple-double is points, rebounds and assists.

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.

:* Two women are the only NCAA players of either sex in any division to have recorded three consecutive triple-doubles. The first was Carson in the 1985–86 season. She began by recording 12 points, ten rebounds, and 12 assists against Akron on November 29, 1985. The following day, she recorded 20 points, 12 rebounds, and at least 20 assists against Kent State (her exact assists total in that game is unknown). Finally, on December 2 against Cleveland State, Carson recorded 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 14 assists. Barrs matched the feat in the 2018–19 season. She began with 17 points, ten rebounds, and 12 steals on January 9, 2019 against New Orleans. Next, on January 12, Barrs had ten points, 11 rebounds, and ten assists against Central Arkansas. Finally, on January 16, Barrs recorded 15 points, ten rebounds, and 11 assists against Southeastern Louisiana.{{cite press release |url=https://lamarcardinals.com/news/2019/1/16/womens-basketball-crumps-career-high-leads-cards-past-lady-lions.aspx |title=Crumps' Career-High Leads Cards Past Lady Lions |publisher=Lamar University Athletics |date=January 16, 2019 |access-date=February 14, 2019 |archive-date=February 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214174326/https://lamarcardinals.com/news/2019/1/16/womens-basketball-crumps-career-high-leads-cards-past-lady-lions.aspx |url-status=live }}

- Triple-doubles in NCAA tournament history:
:: Men's
::: The NCAA first recorded individual assists in men's basketball in 1950–51, but stopped doing so after the 1951–52 season, and did not resume keeping track of assists until 1983–84. Blocks and steals were first recorded in 1985–86. Thus, the NCAA officially records ten tournament triple-doubles. However, many tournaments had included assists, steals and blocks in their official boxscores prior to that time, so unofficially this has occurred 18 times.{{cite web|title=NCAA Men's Tournament; Madness at the Metrodome; Aldrich homecoming is sweet; A historic triple-double by former Bloomington Jefferson star helped defending champ Kansas advance to the Sweet 16|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-196730870.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611063500/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-196730870.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 11, 2014|work=Star Tribune |access-date=April 15, 2012|date=March 23, 2009|last=Scoggins|first=Chip|url-access=}} Only three pre-1986 triple-doubles are included below.

However, many tournaments had included assists, steals and blocks in their official boxscores prior to that time, so unofficially this has occurred 17 times.

Quadruple-double
File:David Robinson spurs (cropped).jpg David Robinson is the most recent NBA player (1994) to accomplish the feat of a 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 (NBA) history.{{cite news|title='Quadruple-double' Rare in NBA|newspaper=The Tampa Bay Times|date=April 10, 2009|url=https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2009/04/10/quadruple-double-rare-in-nba/|access-date=August 9, 2021|archive-date=August 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210809154817/https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2009/04/10/quadruple-double-rare-in-nba/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2009/news/01/15/ata.20090114/index.html |title=CP3 just misses a rare quadruple-double |work=NBA.com |publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc |access-date=April 4, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091227072351/http://www.nba.com/2009/news/01/15/ata.20090114/index.html |archive-date=December 27, 2009 |url-status=dead }} 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.

Quadruple-doubles have only been possible since the 1973–74 season, when the NBA started recording both blocked shots and steals.

{{quote |text = The reason why [the quadruple-double] is such a hard thing to accomplish is because it requires a player to be completely dominant on both ends of the court without being too selfish—so he can get the assists—and without fouling out trying to block every shot or grab every rebound. A lot of guys can get the points, rebounds and assists, but it's the defensive stuff that messes everybody up. You have to love defense to get a quadruple-double. There's no way around it.|author=Nate Thurmond}}
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.

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.{{cite web |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yqIpAAAAIBAJ&pg=5625,571665 |title=Akeem hot but — not that hot |work=The Spokesman-Review |date=March 11, 1990 |access-date=March 12, 2011 |archive-date=October 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002180650/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yqIpAAAAIBAJ&pg=5625,571665 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1990/03/07/time-to-forget-it/ |title=Time To Forget It |work=Orlando Sentinel |date=March 7, 1990 |access-date=March 12, 2011 |archive-date=September 24, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924125000/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1990-03-07/sports/9003072902_1_thorn-houston-rockets-box-score |url-status=live }}

- United States college records mostly are accurate {{as of|2019|2|lc=on}}. NCAA records are complete for Divisions I and II, but not for Division III; specifically, entering the 2018–19 season, there have been a total of eight quadruple-doubles in Division III play, and one player, Suzy Venet of Mount Union (1994–1998), had two in her career, both in the 1996–97 season.{{cite web|url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/w_basketball_RB/2019/D3.pdf |title=2018–19 Division III Women's Basketball Records |publisher=NCAA |access-date=February 3, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190204070414/http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/w_basketball_RB/2019/D3.pdf |archive-date=February 4, 2019 |url-status=live }} See especially "Individual Records: Miscellaneous", p. 3, which notes Venet's two career quadruple-doubles, and "Individual Career Records: Quadruple-Doubles", p. 16, which lists all players who have recorded a quadruple-double. NAIA records are also incomplete.{{says who|date=November 2023}}

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.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/01/sports/what-s-next-at-tennessee-3-top-recruits.html |title=What's Next at Tennessee? 3 Top Recruits |work=The New York Times |access-date=June 10, 2009 |date=April 1, 1997 |first=Harvey |last=Araton |archive-date=August 25, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090825100519/http://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/01/sports/what-s-next-at-tennessee-3-top-recruits.html |url-status=live }} There are only five known officially recorded quintuple-doubles, all done at the girls' high-school level. The first was recorded by Tamika Catchings of Duncanville High School (Duncanville, Texas) with 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals, and 10 blocks in 1997.{{cite web |title=Tamika Catchings, Tennessee |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/events/1998/tournament/women/spotlight/catchings.html |work=CNN/Sports Illustrated |publisher=Time Warner Company |year=1998 |access-date=June 10, 2009 |archive-date=September 30, 2000 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000930185350/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/events/1998/tournament/women/spotlight/catchings.html |url-status=dead }} The second was by Alex Montgomery of Lincoln High School (Tacoma, Washington), who had 27 points, 22 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals, and 10 blocks in January 2007.{{cite news |title=The good, the bad, the controversial |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/the-good-the-bad-the-controversial/ |work=The Seattle Times |last=Smith |first=Craig |date=June 12, 2007 |access-date=May 17, 2019 |archive-date=May 17, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190517212449/https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/the-good-the-bad-the-controversial/ |url-status=live }} The third was by Aimee Oertner of Northern Lehigh High School (Slatington, Pennsylvania), who had 26 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals, and 11 blocks on January 7, 2012.{{cite web |title=Northern Lehigh High School girls basketball coach allows for disturbing statistical display |date=January 9, 2012 |url=http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/tom-mugavero/index.ssf/2012/01/northern_lehigh_girls_basketba.html |access-date=January 9, 2012 |archive-date=January 11, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111023332/http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/tom-mugavero/index.ssf/2012/01/northern_lehigh_girls_basketba.html |url-status=live }} On February 23, 2024, Kieonna Christmas of Fonda-Fultonville High School (Fonda, New York), had 11 points, 20 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals, and 10 blocks. {{cite web |title=New York Senior Kieonna Christmas Pulls Off Quintuple-Double: The 13th Prep Player Ever To Do So |date=February 23, 2024 |url=https://www.overtimeheroics.net/2024/02/23/new-york-senior-kieonna-christmas-pulls-off-quintuple-double-the-13th-prep-player-ever-to-do-so/|access-date= February 23, 2024 }} The most recent is Kira Reynolds of South Bend Washington High School (South Bend, Indiana), recorded 14 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, 11 steals, and 10 blocks on January 6, 2025. {{cite web|title=Purdue commit Kira Reynolds registers first quintuple-double in Indiana high school history |date=January 6, 2025 |url=https://www.cbssports.com/womens-college-basketball/news/purdue-commit-kira-reynolds-registers-first-quintuple-double-in-indiana-high-school-history/|access-date=January 6, 2025 }}
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, prior to 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.{{cite web |title= In Pursuit of the Elusive Quintuple-Double |date= January 14, 2019 |url= https://thescorecrowsports.wordpress.com/2019/01/14/in-pursuit-of-the-elusive-quintuple-double/ |access-date= January 2, 2021 |archive-date= May 12, 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210512221325/https://thescorecrow.com/2019/01/14/in-pursuit-of-the-elusive-quintuple-double/amp/ |url-status= live }}
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.{{cite web|title=NBA single-game leaders and records for steals|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/stl_game.html|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=January 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114092641/https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/stl_game.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=NBA single-game leaders and records for blocks|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/blk_game.html|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=January 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114092649/https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/blk_game.html|url-status=live}} The best single-game career high in blocks for a player with a game of 10+ steals is 5 by Draymond Green,{{Cite web|url=https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/player-with-10-steals-5-blocks-in-a-game|title=player with 10 steals 5 blocks in a game|date=December 3, 2023|website=|access-date=December 4, 2023|archive-date=December 4, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204005338/https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/player-with-10-steals-5-blocks-in-a-game|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Draymond Green|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greendr01.html#all_highs|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=October 16, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231016060747/https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greendr01.html#all_highs|url-status=live}} and the best single-game career high in steals for a player with a game of 10+ blocks is 8 (Andrei Kirilenko{{cite web|title=Andrei Kirilenko|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kirilan01.html#all_highs|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=September 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120921225422/http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kirilan01.html#all_highs|url-status=live}} and Hakeem Olajuwon{{cite web|title=Hakeem Olajuwon|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/olajuha01.html#all_highs|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=May 25, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120525025141/http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/olajuha01.html#all_highs|url-status=live}}).
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.{{cite web|url=http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/3572650.html |title=McGrady is not part of U.S. Olympic plans: Statistician's 'Dream' |work=Houston Chronicle |access-date=March 12, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060313104158/http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/3572650.html |archive-date=March 13, 2006 |url-status=dead }} 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 (six times), Andrei Kirilenko (three times), and Victor Wembanyama (two times) are the only players to have recorded multiple five-by-fives (based on records since the {{nbay|1984}} season).{{Cite web|title=Victor Wembanyama has second 5x5 game in Spurs' win vs. Jazz|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/42122849/victor-wembanyama-second-5x5-game-spurs-win-vs-jazz|work=ESPN.com|date=October 31, 2024|access-date=October 31, 2024}} Olajuwon and Kirilenko are also the only players to record six-by-fives (at least six in all five statistical categories). Only twice has a five-by-five coincided with a triple-double (both by Olajuwon, one of which was 1 assist shy of a quadruple-double) and only three times has a player recorded a five-by-five without registering at least a double-double (two by Kirilenko and one by Marcus Camby).
