26 years ago today, the Hakeem Olajuwon quadruple double!

I never even heard of the concept of a quadruple double until Dream did it. It's a shame that second one he had like two weeks later was taken away. Dream was just a one of a kind, special kind of phenomenon. I sure miss watching him.

 

lol. true Rockets fans roll call: I don't see @tinman ANYWHERE in this thread. c'mon tinny, you're spending too much time in that Jeremy Lin thread, dude

Deserves it's own thread, dude.

 

Actually it was the first one that was taken away. The second one came about 3 weeks later. The first one actually wasn't a quadruple double when the game ended... the Rockets gave him 1 more assist, after the fact, from what I recall saying one of them had been missed. Rod Thorn later looked at it and said there was no 10th assist (may not have been a 9th one, either... lol), so he overturned the stats change. From what I recall, the Rockets were nearly fined for changing the stats like that after the game was over.
