Good question and at this point it is very hard to say with the pace of today's NBA game.  The last two people to get quadruple doubles in the NBA are former Milwaukee Bucks guard Alvin Robertson( who accomplished the feat with points, rebounds, assists, and steals) and the San Antonio Spurs' David Robinson who got his with points, rebounds, assists, and blocks.  From the current players that you have mentioned, I believe that (on a really, really, really good night) Duncan may be able to get a quadruple double via points, rebounds, assists, and blocks.  The blocks would be the toughest stat to get as he usually averages a double-double in points and rebounds.  The assists would come from kick outs to open shooter such as Manu Ginobili, Brent Barry, Tony Parker, among others. \n\nDespite getting his 76th triple-double in opening night, Jason Kidd may not be able to get a quadruple double as his minutes are down with the emergence  of rookie Marcus Williams.  Without 40 plus minutes, its hard to rack up the stats needed for a quadruple double.  As for D.Wade, LBJ, or Kobe, triple doubles are always within reach but due to their offensive responsibilities, they may not have the energy to get the necessary steals and blocks (10).

Yeah but Nash carried his whole team to a much better record then LeBron.\n\nAnd Kidd had the most triple doubles.

lebron james. at first people might think kobe or a.i., but look at where their team is now! barely makin the playoffs, or even missin the mark! u look at the cavaliers, nd u see a great team, with a great leader. lebron james is the leader in triple doubles, nd nothin hlps a team more than a responsible leader. lebron admits it when he has a down game, nd unlike other good nba players, blames himself, not his team, for the loss. if u ask me, lebron will be not only this yrs mvp, but mvp for many yrs to come...

lol no they dont have 4 quaters. they simply have 2 halves which is actually the more normal way of playing. they put quaters in the nba for more commercial time back like 35 years ago. in europe and olympics they have 2 halves. and 2 halves speeds the game up very much.

Six personal fouls per player, 2 techs&#92; flagrants  per player. a flagrant is a hard foul that results in two free throw + posession of the basketball.

Each position player is assigned a number.\n\n1. Pitcher\n2. Catcher\n3. 1st Base\n4. 2nd Base\n5. 3rd base\n6. Shortstop\n7. Left Field\n8. Center Field\n9. Right Field.\n\nTherefore, a 6-4-3 double play would be going from Shortstop to 2nd base, to 1st base.\n\nAlternatively, a 4-6-3 double play would be going from 2Bman to Short stop, to the 1st baseman.

Cycle.  Even on a good night, it is difficult to get better than 4 at bats, and then get a hit for each one of them.  Triple is hardest play to make in baseball also, so definitly the cycle.

The technical foul is really a play in its self. In college basketball a player can shoot a three, hit it, and a off the ball foul get called on another player not guarding the shooter, the person getting fouled hits both free throws. A two person 5 point play.\n\nOr shoot the three get fouled miss the free throw get your own rebound and put it back in. 5 points one player.

I believe it is where the hands of a player touch the rim at the same time as they are touching the ball milliseconds before the ball goes through the net. It usually occurs when a player jumps up, has his hands on the rim for a few seconds while slamming the basketball in, and perhaps after that keeps hanging on the rim for a couple more seconds.

My guess, 27 in the regular season. (The site below lists 30 career Triple-Doubles, two of which came in the playoffs against the Knicks and one was in an All-Star game.) I don't think he had one with the Wizards his two seasons there.

According to the Society for American Baseball Research, there have been 659 triple plays in Major League Baseball from 1876 to June 20, 2005. Of those, 12 were unassisted. In the 2000s, the chance of seeing a triple play in a given inning has been less than 1 in 10,000.\n\nOn July 17, 1990, the Minnesota Twins became the first team in baseball history to turn two triple plays in the same game, against the Boston Red Sox. The Twins lost the game 1-0.
