In reply to: only guy to record a quadruple double in the NBA  posted by DBCooper


He almost had two of them in one month (missed it by 1 rebound a few weeks prior to a quadruple double).


Other factoids. Lots of people have won back to back championships.

He's the only one in NBA history to be on a team that won back to back titles where he was the only All Star on the team that year.

The 93/94 and 94/95 Rockets had 1 All Star player both years, Olajuwon, that's it. And while they traded for Drexler, he wasn't an All Star in 94/95.

I would say, however, Otis Thorpe should have gotten more AS consideration than he did in 93/94.

Barkley and Malone, sure (although Barkley missed the game to injury). But Manning over Thorpe, I don't know. Cliff Robinson over Thorpe, I don't know. Kemp over Thorpe, it's closer than people think, I can see it, but there's an argument that Thorpe's 14 and 10 was AS worthy that year.
