Le Saviez-vous ?
Thurmond recorded the first official quadruple-double in NBA history on October 18, 1974 — 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, and 12 blocks — a feat that was only possible to document because the NBA had just begun tracking blocked shots as an official statistic.
For three seasons he served as Wilt Chamberlain's backup with the Warriors — learning his craft from arguably the greatest center in history, a mentorship that shaped his understanding of interior basketball at the highest level.
Contemporary coaches consistently rated Thurmond as one of the five greatest defensive centers ever to play — ahead of many players with more famous names and more documented statistics.
Thurmond spent the last years of his life in San Francisco, where he remained a beloved figure and Warriors ambassador until his passing in 2016.
