Sun Mar 23 21:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Giddey Falls Short of Historic Quadruple-Double, NBA Milestone Remains Elusive
**Chicago, IL** – Josh Giddey of the Chicago Bulls came tantalizingly close to achieving a feat only four NBA players have ever accomplished: a quadruple-double. In a dominant 146-115 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, Giddey posted an impressive stat line of 15 points, 17 assists, 10 rebounds, and 8 steals. He fell just two steals short of joining an exclusive club whose last member achieved the milestone over three decades ago.
A quadruple-double requires a player to record double-digit figures in four of the five major statistical categories: points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks. The rarity of this achievement underscores its significance in basketball history. The only four players to ever achieve this are: David Robinson (San Antonio Spurs, 1994), Hakeem Olajuwon (Houston Rockets, 1990), Alvin Robertson (San Antonio Spurs, 1986), and Nate Thurmond (Chicago Bulls, 1974). Their individual performances showcase the incredible all-around dominance required to reach this statistical pinnacle. Giddey’s near-miss serves as a reminder of the extraordinary difficulty of this rare accomplishment and keeps the spotlight on this elusive basketball record.
