It has been over 30 years since a quadruple-double has been seen in the NBA, and it seems that the competition is at a favorable moment for the fifth one of all time to occur. Thurmon, Robertson, Olajuwon, and Robinson achieved it, but who will be next?
Closer than ever was Josh Giddey last night to recording a quadruple-double, needing only 2 steals. It had been a long time since a player so clearly put a stop to an achievement that has resisted great players. Even Lebron James did not achieve it in his prime, and currently, legends of the game and very complete players have not done it either. Meanwhile, two young players seem to be the strongest contenders.
It cannot be ruled out at all that the Bulls player achieves it, although most perceive Victor Wembanyama as the top favorite. The shot-blocking ability of the Spurs player gives him a substantial advantage to reach double figures in four areas, although Draymond Green should not be written off either. Despite the best times of the Warriors player seeming to be in the past, his defensive skills are enormous. Jimmy Butler also appears as a good candidate, competing with stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic.
One must also consider a player like Chet Holmgren, whose intimidation and agility make him a strong contender. The progress of evolving rookies should not be overlooked either. The name that comes to everyone's mind is Cooper Flagg, who all experts present as one of the most complete players to ever land in the NBA. In conclusion, achieving a quadruple-double is a great challenge and difficult to accomplish.
