Outside of the prestigious quadruple-double, another honor for any NBA player to acquire is a 5×5 game, in which I have written in-depth about if you want to feed your brain in that manner, as it requires a player to be aggressive and efficient on both sides of the floor.

If you do not understand what a 5×5 game is, it’s where a player records at least ’5′ in the five statistical areas — points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks — and the last 5×5 game was recorded in 2006 by Andrei Kirilenko.

Until Sunday night, in which Nicolas Batum recorded his own 5×5 game with 11 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks.

What an incredible accomplishment to his career resume.
