Quentin Richardson should strive for this award. I think Amare Stoudemire has the best chance at pulling off a QD. Playing the run and gun style gives him a better shot than other players. The Suns attempt and allow a lot of shots in a game so there are more opportunities to rack up on stats.
A quintuple double is almost impossible in today's game. A 5x5 is extremely rare, although Andrei Kirilenko had two 5x5's in a week. He still however has a long way to go before he could get a quintuple double in a game, his career high in both blocks and steals is 8.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dakeem1:</div><div class="quote_post">are U joking? I don't think Lebron should be considered a contender for this. If yo u want to talk about being the only palyer other than Oscar Robinson to avg a triple double, then Lebron could do that. But his defensive stats can't match up to AK47 or KG. Just because a player is very good with Triple Doubles doesn't mean he could be a contender for a QD. THe contenders would be people who have really good defensive stats.</div> Oh BS, Lebron the only person who could average a triple double? Jason Kidd anyone? An assist or two more a game plus a few rebounds and bada boom, triple double. Closer than Lebron anyway, he needs about 3 more assists and 3 more rebounds. I'd say it's easier for Kidd because he doesn't have the big men that steal rebounds.
I do not know if this could ever happen. I just do not think that there is a player well rounded in size and ability to accomplish this. If this is ever accomplished it would be phenominal!
If this ever happened I think it either would be kirilenko or Lebron that would do it. It would be hard for a player like Kidd to do it Because he wouldn't be able to get too many blocks let alone 10. Also it would be hard for a big man to do it because it would be hard for them to get too many steals and maybe some would struggle getting assists. I think a SF would be the perfect position to accomplish this. They are fast enought to get the steals and tall enought to get the blocks. This is why I picked Lebron and Kirilenko, and maybe Shawn Marion.
I don't understand why anyone would pick Lebron, a G/F. His defensive capability isn't quite there in terms of blocks. His career high is only 5 while KG and AK47's career high blocks are 8. Yes he's only played 2 years in the NBA, but I don't think you guys understand how hard it is to get 10 blocks. For example, Ben Wallace is this generation's 2nd best shotblocker after Shaq, had 10 blocks only TWICE in his career. Meanwhile blocking machines like TD, KG, AK47, and Theo Ratliff all NEVER got 10 blocks in a game. Marcus Camby (a damn good shotblocker when he's healthy) did it only once in his 3rd year (11blocks) over 9 years of playing in the NBA. If I were forced to choose, my $ would be in a very agile FC, never a G or SF. In this case the only real candidate is AK47 and maybe KG, nobody else comes close.
I could only see a KG doing this. Maybe a lebron. But im not sure. hey if jordan couldnt do it im sure no one else will! quadruple double is really good, but quin, now were stretchin it. I could see lebron doing it, but boy that would be an effort! I do think his defence needs refining for that. even big ben cant get 10 blocks most games. iverson has trouble gettin 10 steals. i cant see one person doing alllllll this in one game, the other team would have to give him the stats! and even then it wouldnt be easy!
It would have to be from a passing big man if you ask me. Somebody like Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett emerge themselves as the favorites for coming close to this. Duncan I believe one year in the playoffs came close to a quadtruple double with points, boards, blocks, and dimes but I can't remember anyone in recent memory that came anywhere close other then Duncan. Josh Smith maybe in his prime has the shotblocking and defensive ability to do it, but it would be very hard to get 10 blocks and 10 steals on the same night.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dakeem1:</div><div class="quote_post">If someone could get one, I would wonder if Jordan is still considered the best bball player in history.</div> yes, because even though a quintuple double would be an incredible feat in a single game. However the quality of a player is determined by his career and the impact he had for his team in many ways. I think AK-47 would have the best shot at doing this, I was watching his stat line early last year and because he plays so hard on defense(which few players do), he had some nights where he had 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 blocks, and 6 steals. It was absolutely nuts. I hope the guy recovers from his knee injury, because I would love to see some of his awesome defense. Another question, will anyone ever again have a double triple double like Another thing to note about Oscar Robertson's era, I believe there were a lot more shot attempts back then, so it was a lot easier to get rebounds and assists. I read some calculation that if J-Kidd were to play in that era he would have averaged a triple double for a few years. I think a handful of players could have if they played back then. Magic would be another. For Quintuple Doubles, the only guys who stand a chance are AK47, Tim Duncan, and Garnett.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AirJordan:</div><div class="quote_post">I've done it in a video game with Vince before...does that count?</div> HAHA me too
Kirilenko probably has the best chance of accomplishing it, but as others have said I doubt it will happen any time soon. Another candidate no one seems to have mentioned is Ben Wallace. In recent history, Hakeem probably had the best chance of accomplishing it. He averaged over 2 steals a game in multiple seasons, he got over 10 blocks or 10 assists several times in his career, and he was at least a nightly double-double threat with points and rebounds.
Andre Iguodala has the talent to do so. But it's very unlikely he will ever do so playing with two stars, even without A.I or C-Webb it would still be very difficult. Guys like AK47, Iggy, Richardson, LeBron and a handful of others have the talent to do so, but it's just too tough. I think getting a Quintuple Double is as equivalent to scoring 100 points. The 100 points may seem more difficult because it's 100 points for crying out loud. On the other hand a quintuple double you only need to get 10+ in each category. Think about it is that it's already difficult to get a triple double, so imagine having to get 10+ in not one but two other categories. My honest opinion I think it's harder to reach that feat moreso than 100 points. And since we're are on the topic of this. Here is a little trivia. Does anybody know the only player ever to get a double triple double?

It may happen but it woudl be SO hard. The odds of it must be so low though. It would be pretty crazy if that happened though
Quintuple Double?! I doubt it,man.How the hell do you get 10 blocks in a game??Maybe that other guy from China,Sun Ming or something like that.Dude's like 7'7"!No joke,look it up.He'd have to be playing the Hornets or something though.
KG because he's one of the most versatile players, but 10 blocks and steals in 1 game!?!?! I doubt it's going to happen
If you ever consider Iverson to be a candidate for this, you need to include Kidd as well. But again, they both lack the ability to get 10 blocks. AK, Garnett, and maybe Lebron seem the only possiblities to do this. I only mention Lebron because he has all of that potential, but right now? No. KG and AK47 are the only ones I could slighty think of doing this and if it did happen it would be very unexpected and just unbelievable. They can both get the triple-doubles, but getting 10 steal and blocks...that is just crazy.
