The last time a quadruple-double was recorded in the NBA was in 1994 by The Admiral, David Robinson. There have only been three other times it’s been done. Hakeem Olajuwon did it in 1990, Alvin Robertson pulled it off in 1986, and Nate Thurmond got it done in 1974. That’s it. Tim Duncan actually did it, too, but he was robbed of a rebound. We won’t talk about that, though. You can look it up.

Since two of the four guys who have officially recorded that phenomenal stat played in San Antonio, can we call it the “Spurs’ Quad,” or can we coin a phrase like the “he pulled off a SA special,” or something like that? We can work on the wording, but think about it. Victor Wembanyama is the next obvious candidate to have a quadruple-double, though. That’ll just give me more ammo for my agenda.

The question is, when will he do it, though? It’s hard to predict something like that, but if anyone is going to do it, it’s going to be the guy who had a triple-double with blocks included. It’s been long enough since someone has done it. We’re long overdue.

Wembanyama is going to set countless records

This kid is going to race up the all-time blocks ladder. When you check Basketball Reference’s website, they give you the top 250 players on the list. The very last player on the list is Nate Thurmond with 553 blocks. Vic is going to pass him this season. He already has 430, and he’s only played a season and a half.

It’s going to be hilarious to watch him pass active players who have been in the league for much longer. Ivica Zubac only has 575, for example, so Wemby is going to zoom past that guy. Karl Anthony-Towns lands at 163 on the list with 771 blocks after 10 seasons in the NBA. How long do you think it will take The Alien to pass him? Give him about two years, maybe? It’s unreal.

One of the best parts about the destructive force that Wemby is when protecting the basket is that he doesn’t just reject shots emphatically to do it all the time. Sometimes it’s about sending a message, sure, but he often keeps the ball in bounds so his team can start a fast break. He’s not your average rim-protector. He’s smart and makes the choices that will help the Spurs win.

It’s going to be nice to see many of those rejections end up in De’Aaron Fox’s hands. He’s a one-man fastbreak similar to what San Antonio had with Dejounte Murray and Tony Parker. The benefits will be amazing, and Spurs Nation can’t wait to watch it all unfold.
