"Telling my kids this is Wilt Chamberlain": Hoops fans react to Purdue signee Kira Reynolds historic quintuple-double feat

Kira Reynolds just reminded everyone why she’s a name that might become a legend one day. The Purdue signee pulled off a basketball miracle on Saturday, which became stuff for history books. She posted a quintuple-double during South Bend Washington’s 85-12 blowout win over New Prairie, setting a new benchmark in Indiana basketball history.

You might be reading the word for the first time, but it's real — a quintuple-double. Reynolds scored 14 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, 11 steals, and 10 blocks in what might be one of the most absurd stat lines ever. SportsCentre Next captured the hype perfectly on X. Tweeting about the extraordinary feat:

“Purdue signee and Indiana Miss Basketball candidate Kira Reynolds posted insane numbers over the weekend, leading South Bend Washington (IN) to their 15th win of the season! Reynolds is the first player in Indiana history to record a quintuple-double 🤯🔥."

In the comments section, fans had a hard time believing such a remarkable feat is even possible. One fan, racking the history books, eventually unearthed a record when it was achieved by Wilt Chamberlain back in 1968. Admiring the unprecedented achievement, he wrote:

“Telling my kids this is Wilt Chamberlain.”

“Those numbers are amazing, insane.”

“What type of video game numbers is this? 😭😭😭.”

One took it a step further, joking about her total dominance:

“Talk about hand and footprint all over the game…She got elbow and knees printed on it too. Sheesh🔥."

Other fans, still in shock and unable to believe, commented:

“Quintuple-double. What are we even witnessing?”

While the majority were in awe, there were skeptics in the mix. A doubting fan chimed in:

“Not to downplay her, but I refuse to believe this is a real stat. I need full game footage.”

While as unexpected as it might seem, the South Bend Washington High School’s Kira Reynolds has a knack for making records.

Kira Reynolds Is On A Record-Breaking Spree This Season

This isn’t even the first time Reynolds has turned heads this season. She recently became the first Indiana girls basketball player to surpass 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 500 blocks, and 300 assists. At just 17, she’s rewriting the history books one game at a time.

Besides that, Kira Reynolds is averaging 16.6 points, 13.5 rebounds, 6.5 blocks, 6.3 assists, and 3.5 steals per game this season. Thanks to her extraordinary performances, South Bend Washington is sitting pretty at 15-1 with a 10-game win streak. Not only that, the Reynolds family is also deeply rooted in basketball.

Kira's father, Steve Reynolds, is the head coach of the South Bend Washington girls basketball team and a former player at Western Michigan. Her two older sisters, Amiyah and Mila, play for Purdue, while her younger brother just dropped 50 in a game and is ranked 74th in the class of 2026.

Purdue has definitely landed a gem. With performances like this, she’s making sure no one forgets her name anytime soon.
