No one has had a 5x5 (at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 5 steals in a game) since JUSUF NURKIC in 2019 (the only player with a 20-20-5-5-5 in history) With all the insanely talented two-way players in the league, why hasn’t it happened recently?
Since blocks and steals have been tracked in the 70s, there have been 21 5x5s, so roughly 2 per year. Hakeen Olajuwon had six, and AK47 had 3 (two of which were only a week apart). Both perimeter players and big men have had 5x5.
We have so many talented and all-around players in the league, it seems like we’re overdue for another 5x5. Who is most likely to be the next? Bam does a little bit of everything. JJJ would need to get the assists but on a lucky night I could see it. Draymond has one and almost had a second, but he’s sprinting downhill as fast as he possibly can. Could Wemby or Chet do it as they round out their games?
AD could get it on the right night.
Scottie Barnes could do it one day. I’m also surprised Giannis hasn’t gotten one.
Ausar Thompson definitely could do it.
Probably because it’s difficult. People don’t get either most weeks
Dray will get 4x5 without the points
One of the Thompson twins, probably Ausar.
