Firstly, for it requires the ability and the responsibilities of the position actually also to be active, so that eg a Center also assists distributed. And on the other hand, the player must also make it into at least one of the two categories steals and blocks in which expresses the achievement of a higher number is hard to score double digits.

In German professional basketball, there has been not a single quadruple -double. Moreover, there was in Europe so far only one player who has managed to achieve one thing: The American Derrick Lewis managed to get in a game of LNB 20 points, 11 rebounds, 12 steals and reach 10 blocks.

Also in the American professional league NBA made ​​it so far a total of only four players to achieve a quadruple - double:

Quintuple -double

A quintuple -double ( to German: quintuple double ) denotes a player's performance, which is achieved in a game in all five positive statistical categories in each two-digit values ​​. This maximum "double performance" has been achieved by anyone yet professional players worldwide.

A particularly difficult case reaching 10 steals and 10 blocks is considered, as this in defense of a very good eye and excellent timing required.

She scored in the jersey of Duncanville High School in 1997, 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks.

This provides a simpler alternative to quintuple -double, which is required in every statistical category at least 10. Since steals and blocks are recorded only since the 1973/74 season, it is only since possible to achieve such a feat.
