RED- Michael YELLOW - Kobe

Kobe’s LA team had an 8-1 record coming into the game against the Phoenix Suns (4-4). The game was played at home after 2 days rest. Phoenix came into the game on 1 day rest after defeating the Sacramento Kings. Kobe had a great all around game as you can see from the stats, he not only was 1 rebound shy of a triple double, but also 2 turnovers away from a quadruple double. Kobe’s pass to himself off the backboard was quite clever. In the end it wouldn't matter as Phoenix made 22 three pointers, the second most in an NBA game.

Only 4 quadruple-doubles have been recorded in NBA history: Nate Thurmond in 1974, Alvin Robertson in 1986, Hakeem Olajuwan in 1990 and David Robinson in 1994.
