This isn't the Triple Double we are used to.

Hassan Whiteside - 26pts 17rebs 8 blks.... only 2 asts... so Quadruple Double isn't likely.. but TD with Blocks would be fun to see. 5 min to go in 3rd.

I remember Dwight Howard did it when he was with the Magic. It was certainly impressive.

Feels like it use to be more. Might be wrong. But I believe Hakeem, Eaton, jabbar, Shaq all had several double digit block games.

Joakim Noah has a triple double with blocks also

Didn't Draymond have one last year? I know he had something weird like a triple double without the points.

And there ya go... Haha I knew it was a weird one. Too bad didn't get points. Splash Hogs.

Still hasn't been a quad since DRob in like 94.

I thought I'd do a quick check to see how many players have recorded multiple games of 10 blocks or more (not necessarily completing triple nor quadruple doubles), and found the following, per basketballreference.com. It should be noted that while blocks have been recorded as stats since the 1973-74 season in the NBA and 1971-72 in the ABA, the below list only includes games from the 1983-84 season forward (not sure why it doesn't go back to the beginning of recording blocks). The last thing I'd mention, is that we know that early giants like Bill Russell would be all over this had blocks been recorded in his day.

Without further ado, the list including games from the 1983-84 season and since:

- Manute Bol wins this contest with 19 games of 10 blocks or more!
- Mark Eaton is next with 16.
- Dikembe Mutombo is third with 13 games of 10 blocks or more.
- Hakeem Olajuwon is fourth with 11.
- David Robinson and Shawn Bradley share fifth place honors with 10 games of 10 blocks or more

Then there is a monumental dropoff...

- Hassan Whiteside and Marcus Camby have four games with 10 or more blocks.
- Serge Ibaka has three games.
- Ben Wallace, Benoit Benjamin, Larry Nance (Sr.) and Tree Rollins each have two games with 10 or more blocks.

...and here is the list of players that achieved 10 blocks or more for only a single game in their careers:

Amare Stoudemire, Andrei Kirilenko, Anthony Davis, Artis Gilmore, Calvin Booth, Charles Jones, Darryl Dawkins, Dwight Howard, Emeka Okafor, Greg Ostertag, JaVale McGee, Jermaine O'Neal, Joakim Noah, Josh Smith, Keon Clark, Larry Sanders, Ralph Sampson, Roy Hibbert, Shaquille O'Neal (who interestingly shares the single game record of 15 blocks in a game with Manute Bol who did it twice), Shawn Kemp, Vlade Divac and Wayne Cooper.

A case can be made that this was the most unusual game of all time. A triple double with no points seems like a lie.

It will likely never happen again.

It's rumored that Wilt AVERAGED over 10 blocks a game in his prime. It would have been great if they officially kept the stat back then...
