Can Anthony Davis record a Quadruple Double?

It has been 20 years since David Robinson recorded the last quadruple double. Do you think the brow is capable of accomplishing this incredible feat?

Def possible

its not an impossible accomplishment but out of everyone in the league he def has the best chance to do it.

Will it happen though? probably NOT

Extremely unlikely but if anyone was to do it, it would probably be him. The points and rebounds are almost a given. I think the opponents defense would have to be committed to doubling him every time he touched the ball and he get the assists just by passing out of the double to shooter/slashers. And the opponents would have a lot of slashers rather than shooters for hm to rack up the blocks.

Nope. Doesn't have the passing ability.

He doesn't operate enough as a creator to do it right now. When he passes out, it's usually a reset of the offense, or a lot of passes before a shot goes up. Part of the reason he's been able to keep the turnovers down, he's getting the ball in positions to go right up with his length over people, or attack so quick that the defense doesn't have time to react.

Chris Paul is a big threat, sometimes he has those games where he steals every lazy pass.

CP3 came close once got the points rebounds and assists just 3 steals short .... i could see Davis getting the points rebounds and blocks but could he dish out either 10 assists or 10 steals idk would have to be the perfect night maybe against the 76ers :lol:

Stephen Curry might be a real threat, right now he's avgs 7assists/6rebounds/3steals.

in his rookie season he had a 27/14/8/7 game

He's not a complete offensive player to draw doubles or play as playmaker yet but yeah he might do it at some point.

Maybe. Depends on improving his passing abilities. Points and rebounds are a given, blocks are possible. Steals and assists could work, but it's still a very long shot. Quadruple Doubles have only occured 4 times and that's very rare.

He's gonna have a 25-5-5-5-5 game sooner than later.

Only 5 such games exist in NBA history, produced by 2 players - Dream and Admiral, and Hakeem had 4 of them.

6 games. You forgot Dr. J against the Spurs on December 5th 1979. He recorded 28 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks.

Everybody's focusing on the assists aspect but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that he could do it with blocks and steals.

The closest that I remember anyone getting a Quad Double in recent memory is Duncan in the finals with a 21/20/10/8.

It is an close to an impossible task for blocks given that defensive players aren't given much respect compared to 20 years ago in terms of fouls. The benefit of the doubt always goes to the attacking offensive player. It is esp rare for any player to get 10 blocks in a game in todays game compared to twenty or 30 years ago.

Steals are even harder... the league leader for the entire seasons dont not even crack 10 steals in a game in most years.

Lets put some perspective on that...

Look at that list...

It has been since 2009 since someone had had 10 steals, before that... 2001...

It is highly improbable.

Here is the list for blocks.

What about turnovers?

Post #18 » by **pacers33granger** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 5:17 am

Didn't Batum have a 5X5 last year? Doubt he'd ever get a quadruple double, but he's one of the few in the league with a shot at one, albeit small.

Mathematically and statistically every player in the NBA can record a quad double.

According to this forum there really isn't ANYTHING he cant do. He will probably average a quintuple double according to some in a few years..

Anthony Davis quadruple double.
