In the history of the NBA, many players have achieved four-doubles (that is, at least four of the four statistical indicators of points, rebounds, assists and steals, and blocked shots reaching double digits) in a game. Here are some NBA players who have had a four-double.
An obvious name is Oscar Robertson, the first player in NBA history to complete a four-double during the regular season. In one game in 1962, Robertson scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 10 steals. This is also the only record in the regular season that includes steals in a four-double.
In addition to Robertson, there is also a legendary star, Magic Johnson. Magic is a versatile player. In a game in 1982, he completed a four-double with 18 points, 16 rebounds, 17 assists and 3 steals. This is also the only regular season four-double record in Magic's career.
In addition to these two legends, there are other active players who have also achieved four-doubles. For example, LeBron James was the only player to complete a four-double in the Finals, scoring 31 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals in a game in 2017.
In addition, Drake West became the first playoff four-double pioneer in 1966. He scored 42 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in one game.
Completing the four-double statistics requires players to perform well in many aspects, not only having the ability to score, but also having the ability to rebound and assist, and being able to contribute on the defensive end. Only a handful of players were able to achieve this feat, and their names will always be remembered in NBA history.
