Warriors keep setting records. Last night Draymond Green had a triple double but only scored 4 points. It was the first triple double in NBA history without the person scoring at least 10 points.

But haven't  there been quadruple doubles? I think I recall Nate Thurmond doing the quadruple more than once.   If that is correct, sort of makes DG's accomplishment interesting but less impressive.

I truly believe that if Draymond was on any other team he would be a #1 or #2 scoring option who would play point forward and that he would be racking up triple doubles on a James Harden level. Probably even a quadruple double or two

So there have been people that have achieved a quadruple double, five to be exact. So they achieved the triple double without points as well they just took i farther.

Have to give credit to the Warriors front office for drafting all that talent.

Kind of a silly record, when others have accomplished greater feats, unless you are trying to argue it is somehow a greater feat to get a triple double without scoring in double digits than it is to get a quadruple double.

Hakeem Olajuwon is one of those in the quadruple double class.

sure, but those quadruple doubles all had the points (and I believe they all had the points as part of the triple double first).

and??? so what are we going to do now, figure out the first person to get a triple double that did not take a shower before the game? Or the first to get a triple double without scoring any basket during warm ups?

These are the 5 official quadruple doubles in NBA history (as steals and blocks weren't officially kept until 1972, the early guys couldn't officially get any but Chamberlain unofficially had 4 and Russell unofficially had 1 - it is likely the both had more than that but no one kept the stats and someone like Oscar Robertson probably did as well)

Nate Thurmond - 22/14/13 with 12 blocks - 1974
Alvin Robertson - 20/11/10 with 10 steals - 1986
Hakeem Olajuwon - 29/18/10 with 11 blocks - 1990
Hakeem Olajuwon - 18/16/10 with 11 blocks - 1990 (both were in March)
David Robinson - 34/10/10 with 10 blocks - 1994

come on that is just silly.  I mean a triple double without points is just weird.
