Some of these are mind boggling. For example:

Bill Russell: Game 7, 1962 NBA Finals vs. Lakers
Bill Russell put up one of the most impressive statistical games of all-time in a 110-107 overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 7 of the 1962 NBA Finals. Russell's 30 points and staggering 40 rebounds helped the Celtics to their fourth of eight consecutive championships. Russell set the Finals record for most rebounds in a quarter during the game with 19.

I almost guarantee Russell had a big number of blocks/steals in that game, too, they just weren't tallied officially back then. There are a lot of people that think, looking through old game recaps, that Russell had several quadruple doubles in his career.
