Grambling State’s Shakyla Hill Netted The Elusive Quadruple-Double In A College Basketball Game

For as much as the triple-double dominated much of the conversation in basketball last season, there are harder statistical feats to reach. Russell Westbrook’s amazing assault on the NBA’s triple-double record in the 2016-17 season illustrated just how hard it is to get enough of a third category in the stat sheet to hit the mark.

But one thing Westbrook has not done in his NBA career is the elusive quadruple double. That’s right: four stat categories in double digits. But it’s something that Shakyla Hill did on Wednesday night for Grambling State.

Hill scored 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals on Wednesday. To make it clear just how hard it is to get a quadruple-double, it’s been 32 years since anyone has reached the elusive mark in the NBA the way Hill did.

David Robinson had a quadruple-double in 1994, but with 10 blocks, not 10 steals. There are some highlights of Hill people have shared on Twitter, and it’s easy to see that the huge offensive outburst is far from a fluke. She’s got a deft scoring touch and looks like a huge part of the Grambling State offense.

And it’s not like this happens all that often in women’s college basketball, either. In fact, it’s been nearly three decades since the last quadruple-double.

It’s a ridiculous achievement, and one that Hill should be proud of. When you’re able to impress one of the frontrunner’s for the NBA MVP award, you know you did something really amazing.
