In basketball, a double-double or triple-double is when a player accumulates ten or more (a double-digit total) in two or three of five statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots—in a single game. A double-double is when a player records ten or more in two of the five statistics, and a triple-double is a double-digit total in three of the five. Likewise, a quadruple-double is when a player reaches double figures in four of the five, and a quintuple-double is a double-digit total in all five categories in a game. These achievements are much more difficult to obtain. Only four quadruple doubles have occurred in the NBA, and while three quintuple-doubles have been recorded at the high school level—by Tamika Catchings, Alex Montgomery, and Aimee Oertner—none have occurred in a college or professional game in the United States. A similar accomplishment is the five-by-five, which is the accumulation of at least five points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals, and five blocks in a game. In the NBA, only Hakeem Olajuwon and Andrei Kirilenko have accumulated multiple five-by-fives since the 1984–85 season.
