Double

 
Wikipedia: Double (basketball)
Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

In basketball, a double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in one of five statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots—in a game.

There are four possible types:

  • A double-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in two of the five categories.
  • A triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in three of the five categories.
  • A quadruple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in four of the five categories.
  • A quintuple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in all five categories.

A similar accomplishment is the five-by-five, which is the accumulation at least five points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals, and five blocks in a game.

Double-double

"Double-double" redirects here. For other uses, see Double-double (disambiguation).

A double-double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double-digit number 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.

Double-doubles are fairly common in the NBA. During the 2008–09 season, 69 players who were eligible for leadership in the main statistical categories recorded at least 10 double-doubles during the season.[1]

Special double-doubles

Special double-doubles are rare. Three main types are "double double-doubles," in which a player logs at least 20 in two of the five categories in a game, "triple double-doubles" (at least 30) and "quadruple double-doubles" (at least 40).

The quadruple double-double has only ever been achieved by Wilt Chamberlain, who performed the feat eight times when he played for the Warriors:

Triple-double

A triple-double is defined as a performance in which a player 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 term "triple-double" was coined by former Los Angeles Lakers public relations director Bruce Jolesch in order to showcase Magic Johnson's versatility.[7]

A triple-double is seen as an indication of an excellent all-around individual performance. In the National Basketball Association (NBA), they are rare, as the top players usually accumulate fewer than 10 in a season (out of a possible 82 games in the regular NBA season).[8] They are even more rare at the collegiate level (though double-doubles are much more common). There are two reasons for this: the shot clock in men's college basketball is 35 seconds as opposed to 24 seconds in the NBA, and college games last only 40 minutes instead of 48 in the NBA. Both timing issues considerably reduce the number of possessions in a game and thus the chances for amassing large numbers in any one statistic, much less all three.[9] Triple-doubles are also exceptionally rare in games contested under FIBA rules, in which games also run for 40 minutes (albeit with a 24-second clock like that in the NBA).

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; a few have even gone so far as shooting off their opponent's basket trying to score a triple-double. To deter this, NBA rules allow rebounds to be nullified if the shot is determined not to be a legitimate scoring attempt.[10]

Facts

  • Averaging a triple-double in a single season: Oscar Robertson is the only player in NBA history to achieve this feat.[13] During the 1961–62 season, Robertson averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists per game.[14]
  • Most triple-doubles in a single season: Oscar Robertson recorded 41 triple-doubles during the 1961–62 season.[13] Wilt Chamberlain is in second with 31 triple-doubles in the 1967–68 season.[15]
  • Youngest player: LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers), aged 20 years and 20 days, logged a triple-double on January 19, 2005, versus the Portland Trail Blazers. He had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.[16]
  • Oldest player: Karl Malone (Los Angeles Lakers), the only 40-year-old player to do so, logged a triple-double on November 28, 2003, versus the San Antonio Spurs. He had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.[17]
  • Double-triple-double[18] (at least 20 of any 3 statistics): Wilt Chamberlain is the only player to have accomplished this; in a February 2, 1968 game, Chamberlain tallied 25 points, 22 rebounds, and 21 assists.[19]
  • Longest continuous streak of triple-doubles: Wilt Chamberlain holds the record for the most consecutive triple-doubles. In 1968, from March 8 to March 20, he recorded a triple-double in nine straight games.[15]
  • Triple-doubles by teammates in a regular season game: This has been accomplished only twice since 1986. It was achieved in a January 3, 1989 game by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen (Chicago vs. L.A. Clippers). Jordan had 41 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, while Pippen had 15 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. It was also achieved in a April 7, 2007 game by Vince Carter and Jason Kidd (New Jersey vs. Washington). Carter had 46 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists while Kidd had 10 points, 16 rebounds, and 18 assists.[20]
  • Triple-doubles by opponents in a regular season game: This has occurred only six times since 1986,[21] four times involving Jason Kidd (while playing for three different teams). Kidd accomplished the feat twice with Clyde Drexler (Dallas at Houston, April 11, 1995 and Phoenix at Houston, March 22, 1997), once with Jay Williams (New Jersey at Chicago, November 9, 2002), and once with Tracy McGrady (New Jersey vs. Orlando, February 23, 2003). In addition, the feat was performed by Gary Payton and Chris Webber (Seattle at Sacramento, April 18, 2000), and by Caron Butler and Baron Davis (Washington vs. Golden State, November 23, 2007).

  • Others
  • Kalara McFadyen of the Memphis Lady Tigers achieved perhaps the most unusual triple-double in history, without scoring a point or even attempting a shot. On February 3, 2002, in a women's Division I game against Charlotte, she had 12 assists, 10 steals, and 10 rebounds.[26][27]

Quadruple-double

Center David Robinson is the most recent NBA player to accomplish the feat of a quadruple-double by recording at least 10 points, rebounds, assists, and blocks in a game.

A quadruple-double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in four of five statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots—in a game.[28] This feat is extremely rare:[28][29] only four players have officially recorded a quadruple-double in National Basketball Association (NBA) 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. Ann Meyers, who achieved this feat in 1978 when playing for the UCLA Bruins, is the first American female player above the high school level to officially record a quadruple-double. Meyers is also the first player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to record a quadruple-double. Lester Hudson is the first player in NCAA Division I men's basketball history to record a quadruple-double.

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 (all time triple-doubles leader with 181[30][31]), Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell or Jerry West could conceivably have had quadruple-doubles.[29] According to West's biography at NBA.com, he reportedly recorded a quadruple-double after having 44 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks.[32] Wilt Chamberlain also reportedly recorded a 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.[33]

The four players listed below are the only players who have officially recorded a quadruple-double in an NBA game.

Quintuple-double

A quintuple-double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double-digit number total in all five statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots—in a single game.[64] It is unclear whether or not this feat has occurred at the collegiate or the professional level. The only known quintuple-double has occurred at the high school level when Tamika Catchings of Duncanville High School (Duncanville, Texas) recorded 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks in 1997.[65] Because of the rarity of the quintuple-double, the five-by-five has been recorded instead.

Five-by-five

A five-by-five is defined as 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.[66] Statistics for steals and blocks were not kept in the NBA until the 1973–74 season, so NBA five-by-fives were only possible from that season onward. Hakeem Olajuwon (six times) and Andrei Kirilenko (three times) are the only players to have recorded multiple five-by-fives (based on records since the 1986–87 season).[66] Both are also the only players to record five-by-sixes (at least six in all five statistical categories).[66]

Facts

All facts based on data since 1986:

  • Greatest five-by-fives (most of each stat): Hakeem Olajuwon, on March 10, 1987, became the first in NBA history to record a five-by-six (at least 6 each of all five stats: points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals).[81] It took nearly twenty years for the second official occurrence in NBA history. Andrei Kirilenko, on January 3, 2006, recorded a five-by-six against the Lakers. Though his numbers were not quite as impressive as Olajuwon's, Andrei Kirilenko performed the feat in regulation. No one in the NBA has ever recorded a five-by-seven or higher. But Olajuwon was just 1 assist away in the game just mentioned, whereas Andrei Kirilenko was only 1 steal shy in his five-by-six.
  • Most five-by-fives in a career: Hakeem Olajuwon leads all players with 6 career five-by-fives.[66] Andrei Kirilenko, with 3, is the only other player with more than one career five-by-five.
  • Most five-by-fives in the same season: The record for most five-by-fives in a season is 2. Olajuwon was the first to do this, in the 1993–94 season. Kirilenko was the second to do so in the 2003–04 season.
  • Most five-by-fives in the same year: Olajuwon recorded 3 five-by-fives in a one-year span. Beside the two from the 1993–94 season, he had another late in the 1992–93 season.
  • Quickest pair of five-by-fives: Kirilenko performed a five-by-five on December 3, 2003, and completed another just a week later, on December 10, 2003. The second quickest five-by-fives were completed by Olajuwon on November 5, 1993 and another, 55 days later, on December 30, 1993.
  • Youngest player: Kirilenko's first NBA five-by-five came on December 3, 2003, making him the youngest to record a five-by-five at age 22 years, 9 months, and 15 days old.
  • Oldest player: Olajuwon is the oldest player to record a five-by-five. His last career five-by-five came on December 30, 1993, at which time he was 30 years, 11 months, and 9 days old.
