Episode 30 - Nate Thurmond & The First Quadruple Double

Today, Basketball History 101 is putting the spotlight on Nate Thurmond, one of the most underrated superstars in NBA history. He is one of only four players to grab 40 or more rebounds in a single game. His real claim to fame, however, is that he was the first player in league history to officially record a quadruple double. He was named one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players and is in the Hall of Fame.
