    All scorers or all Nuggets scorers? Because AD had 36.

    Nate Thurmond* October 18, 1974 Chicago Bulls 120–115 Atlanta Hawks 45 22 14 13 0 or 1 12 Yes (OT) [77]
    Alvin Robertson February 18, 1986 San Antonio Spurs 120–114 Phoenix Suns 36 20 11 10 10 0 No [78]
    Hakeem Olajuwon* March 29, 1990 Houston Rockets 120–94 Milwaukee Bucks 40 18 16 10 1 11 No [79]
    David Robinson* February 17, 1994 San Antonio Spurs 115–96 Detroit Pistons 43 34 10 10 2 10 No [80]

    There is a controversy over Olajuwon doing it twice.
    But the NBA only officially recognizes these four if I know my history.

    Don't know Nate Thurmond, but those other players would be good company!

    He was the best defensive center. Good at offense. Chamberlain and Jabbar feared him.

    iirc, Drexler almost did it twice with Portland and Houston, and I think Larry Steele almost did it once too.

    Barton had a good game and led the Nuggets but he didn't lead all scorers. Davis had 36 and Tyreke Evans had 25 also.
    I do agree the Nuggets will play him and that will help him for sure. I jumped over to a Nugget thread and they are pretty pleased with him to this point though some are still calling him a low BBIQ guy.

    Yeah lots of people have almost done it.
    Bird, Kidd, Duncan, Mullen, KG, Bibby, Shaq.
    I'm sure there are others.
    I think CP3 had a triple double and 7 steals? IDK.

    I remember in an nba finals game Duncan had some insane line of 20p/20r/10a/8 blocks. Most underrated player of his generation.

    Duncan is the best PF to ever play the game. I think there would be many in sports journalism that would agree. I don't think he's underrated. Hell, he made the Allstar game at dinosaur age! Lol

    If you count TOVs, Westbrick almost had 3 quadruple-doubles in a row:

    3/8/2015 - 30 pts, 11 reb, 17 ast, 9 TOV
    3/11/2015 - 24 pts, 9 reb, 7 ast, 10 TOV
    3/13/2014 - 29 pts, 10 reb, 12 ast, 8 TOV

    TOVs is one of the main reasons Westbrook has a historically a low scoring average for someone with a historically high USG%. TOVs count as used possessions and Westbrook is averaging 6.3 TOVs per 100 possessions. That's 50% more TOVs that Kobe and Michael when they posted their USG% > 38 seasons. They both also averaged over 35 ppg compared to Westbrook's 27.5 ppg. As I commented previously, Russell Westbrook is on pace to be the first player in league history to post USG% > 38 and ppg < 35 (and he's not even close). High TOVs, combined with a lackluster FG%, are the reasons why.
