A Historic Game. (Well, Technically Two.)

It's been a while since we had some silly fun with Basketball Reference's Play Index...

In our last two games, Anthony Randolph has played a total of 39 minutes. His combined line:

21 points (9-16 FG), 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks, 3 steals, 1 turnover, 5 fouls

That'd make a pretty salty one-night performance. How many guys have had nights like that?

In the twenty-four seasons for which BBR has sortable game data... one. Since 1986, only one player has recorded 21 or more points, 17 or more rebounds, 6 or more assists, 6 or more blocks, 3 or more steals and one or zero turnovers in a single game. It was Hakeem Olajuwon, in his famed quadruple-double game, against (naturally) us. That's the only time on record that a player did in one game what Randolph just did in halves of two.

Not bad, Anthony! If you keep this up, maybe you'll earn consistent playing time on the fucking third-worst team in basketball!
