Double-double
In basketball, a double-double is a single-game performance in which a player accumulates ten or more in two of the following five statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots. The first "double" in the term refers to the two (''double'') categories and the second "double" refers to accumulating ten or more (typically ''double'' digits) in that category. Similarly, a player records a triple-double, quadruple-double, and quintuple-double when accumulating ten or more in three, four, or all five of the statistical categories, respectively. While double-doubles and triple-doubles occur regularly each NBA season, only four quadruple-doubles have ever officially been recorded in the NBA, and only a single quintuple-double has ever been recorded in a professional basketball game. That game took place on March 18, 1968, when Wilt Chamberlain scored 53 points, grabbed 32 rebounds, had 24 blocks, 14 assists and 11 steals in a win against the Los Angeles ...
