Has a player ever lead his team in ppg, rpg, and apg?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

so far:

LeBron James 13-14 (Also led in spg)
LeBron James 12-13
LeBron James 11-12 (Also led in spg)
LeBron James 08-09 (Also led in spg)
Pau Gasol 05-06 (Also led in bpg) - Damon Stoudemire only played 27 games
Kevin Garnett 04-05 (Also led in spg)
Kevin Garnett 02-03 (Also led in spg and bpg)
Chris Webber 02-03
Grant Hill 98-99
Grant Hill 96-97 (Also led in spg)
Grant Hill 95-96 (Also led in spg)
Scottie Pippen 94-95 (Also led in spg and bpg) - Until MJ came back
Larry Bird 85-86 (Also led in spg)
Michael Jordan 84-85 (Also led in spg)
Bill Walton 77-78 (Also led in bpg)
Dave Cowens 77-78 - Charlie Scott led in apg but only played 31 games
Wilt Chamberlain 67-68
Wilt Chamberlain 66-67
Wilt Chamberlain 65-66
Elgin Baylor 60-61
Elgin Baylor 58-59
Maurice Stokes 55-56

99% sure Wilt would've led bpg if they tracked it.

Lebron did this last year too and a couple of times in Cleveland. KG has done it a few times in Minny.

you're right kg did it twice in minny.

[PHILA]

Wilt in '66, '67, & '68.

Pippen was in '95 until Jordan returned in March.

[zequav]

Pau in 05/06? If he didn't he was close.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Wilt in '66, '67, & '68.

thanks for the wilt seasons i Added them. idk if i should add pippen.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Pau in 05/06? If he didn't he was close.
missed out by .1 assists to damon stoudamire

[kNIOKAS]

I think Paul Pierce in 04-?-06 season? lets look it up

Looks like didn't happen, he was close in 02-03 and in 05-06 with:
25.9/7.3/4.4 Pierce
20.1/7.2/4.8 Antoine
--
26.8/6.7/4.7 Pierce
19.7/4.5/5.3 Ricky


at one point in the time I remember Pierce being as best in all of the following categories.

michael jordan almost did in 87 with 32ppg 8apg, 8rpg

[plowking]

Grant Hill I'm sure has done if a few times. Oscar Robertson most likely. I'm going to say Anfernee Hardaway as well. Chris Webber I'm sure has done it.

Larry Bird

1985-86 (also lead in spg)

Totals:

1982-83 (also lead in steals)
1985-86 (also lead in steals)

[Rake2204]

Not to play the what-if game, but David Robinson led his team in just about every major statistical category except rebounding in 1994. Robinson was 14th in the league in rebounds that year yet it wasn't good enough to lead his own team because, well, his teammate Dennis Rodman averaged 17.3 boards a night that year.

Otherwise, Robinson led his team (and the league) in scoring, while also posting team highs for steals per game, blocks per game, and assists per game.

Lamar Odom was 0.3apg away from leading the Clippers in all three categories in a season.

[Nash]

tells you a lot about Lebron when he does it in a superteam with Wade and Bosh.

[Miller for 3]

KG in 2003 is the only player in history to lead his team in pts, boards, assists, steals, and blocks in both per game and total for the season :bowdown:

[WillC]

Steals and blocks weren't recorded until the 1970s though.

I think it's fair to say that Maurice Stokes probably led his team in every category. It's likely that Elgin Baylor did too.

Possibly Wilt Chamberlain as well.

[Segatti]

Only if Wade and Bosh were actually playing like superstars...

thanks. cowens missed out by less than a tenth though.

[Mr Exlax]

How many times have the players that accomplished this won championships that year? I can't wrap my head around a team winning when 1 person has to do that much shit.

[Money 23]

Grant Hill 98-99
Grant Hill 96-97 (Also led in spg)

Wow ...

And people want to act like this guy wasn't the LeBron of the 90's before his injury.

:bowdown:

[Young X]

- Jordan led his team in pts, asts, rbs, and stls in his rookie year.

- KG led his team in pts, rbs, asts, stls, and blks in '03.

First person that came to mind was KG. What a ****ing beast.

I dont think that's a fair comparison at all.

[Money 23]

I dont think that's a fair comparison at all.
They both became the face of the league at an early age. Were liked by all due to their non threatening personality, and were point forwards with great handles that had fantastic all around games. The comparison is very legit.

In your opinion it's legit. I think that it has some validity, but it doesn't last long.

[Money 23]

Hello McFly? Explain yourself more.

How does the validity not last long? I think LeBron is the super loaded upgraded version of Hill / Pippen.

I think Lebron is one of those players where you can see shades of other players but no one is a really spot on comparison.

[Anaximandro1]

Olajuwon (1994 Playoffs) 28.9 pt,11.0 rb,4.3 as,4.0 blk

Duncan (2003 Playoffs) 24.7 pt,15.4 rb,5.3 as,3.3 blk


They led their teams in pts,rb,as and blk

[Money 23]

Pippen and Hill are closest by comparison.

He's like 50% Pippen, 30% Hill, 15% Magic, 5% MJ

i agree with this

[Gotterdammerung]

There are only 5 five-tool players in NBA history:

Dr. J, 1975-76: 29.3 ppg, 11 rpg, 5.0 apg, 2.5 steals, 1.9 blocks pg
Cowens, 1977-78: 18.6 ppg, 14 rpg, 4.6 apg, 1.3 spg, .9 bpg
Pippen, 1994-95: 21.4 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 5.2 apg, 2.9 spg, 1.1 bpg
McGrady 2002-03: 32.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.7 spg, .8 bpg
KG, 2002-03: 23 ppg, 13.4 rpg, 6 apg, 1.4 spg, 1.6 bpg

Most impressive multiple tool player in NBA history? Wilt of course.

1965-66: 33.5 ppg, 24.6 rpg, 5.2 apg
1966-67: 24.1 ppg, 24.2 rpg, 7.8 apg
1967-68: 24.3 ppg, 24.3 rpg, 8.6 apg
Had they recorded blocks per game, it would be between 5 to 8 per game!
:eek:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Safe to say LeBron is gonna do it again this year so updated.

[ShaqAttack3234]

missed out by .1 assists to damon stoudamire

Damon played 27 games that season. If Pippen counts in '95 then Pau's '06 should count.


Pippen and Hill are closest by comparison.

He's like 50% Pippen, 30% Hill, 15% Magic, 5% MJ

What part accounts for the 6'8", 265-270 pound frame, though? it's a pretty big part of his game since it allows him to finish so well with contact and he's started to use it more in the post.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Good point. i'll add him.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Larry Bird did on one of the GOAT teams '86 celtics. :applause: :applause:

[Remix]

Tracy was close a few times in Orlando I think. Grant Hill played only like 20 games a few seasons so that might change it

[Hoopz2332]

Pippen and Hill are closest by comparison.

This is the breakdown they did on Lebron on ESPN countdown

Just throwing this out there, but for any Pippen hater out there, look at all the other names on that list.. then tell me Pip wasn't a top 3 player, if not the best player, the year Jordan was out.

Regarding Dr J, "in NBA history"?

The use of the term "five-tool" suggests this is taken from 20 second timeout blog by David Friedman but the idea has also been touched on by Michael Grange's book Basketball's Greatest Stars.


KG in 2003 is the only player in history to lead his team in pts, boards, assists, steals, and blocks in both per game and total for the season :bowdown:

The reason for the apparent difference between this post and the above is whether one is required to play certain number of games to qualify as team leader.

Cowens was outblocked by Kermit Washington 1.3 to 0.9, Washington played 31 games as a Celtic. He also was marginally out-assisted Cowens averaged 4.558442 a game, whilst Charlie Scott averaged 4.612903 in 31 Celtics games.

Pippen was outscored, per game by a returning Michael Jordan (21.4 to 26.9), but Jordan played just 17 regular season games. Jordan also got 5.294118 assists per game to Pippens 5.177215 .

Finally Tracy McGrady missed 7 games in 2003 and thus trailed Darrell Armstrong in total steals (124 to Armstrongs 135) but led in all other totals and per game stats.

Each of these lines would be difficult to match in terms of raw numbers. If you accept advanced stats (reb%, ast% etc) Cowens' is easily the most replicable because only his rebounding numbers are good for a team leader (and his even this is slightly inflated by a higher than modern pace). The points are okay (but low for a team leader) and the rest are very low for a team leader.

Obviously Erving's aren't counted for reasons noted above.


Safe to say LeBron is gonna do it again this year so updated.
This refers to the points, assists, rebounds subject which is the main topic, not the 5 category achievement refered to in the post immediately above it, as he trails Wade in steals per game, and Bosh in blocks and blocks per game though in '09 he led the Cavaliers in all but blocks per game, in which Illgauskas and Ben Wallace had a slight advantage.

[K Xerxes]

Just throwing this out there, but for any Pippen hater out there, look at all the other names on that list.. then tell me Pip wasn't a top 3 player, if not the best player, the year Jordan was out.

Olajuwon was the best player in that period. Pippen had a case for top 3 I suppose, but I'd give the edge to Robinson, Shaq and Ewing.

[Owl]

Pip was very good, but he wasn't as good David Robinson (who led his team in all 5 categories but never in the same year as when he led in assists, Rodman led in rebounds), Hakeem Olajuwon or Shaq.

And Pippen didn't collect those totals in "the year Jordan was out", at least not the full season Jordan missed (he did so in 94-95, the year Jordan was fully absent for was 94-95). In that year Horace Grant led the Bulls on the boards. In that year too he's probably behind the 3 centers, though in this year especially (both probably) he has a strong claim to the 4th best player and best non-center status.

[WillC]

thanks. cowens missed out by less than a tenth though.

Dave Cowens' statistics in 1977-78 should count.

He played 77 games that year and averaged 18.6ppg, 16.0rpg, 4.6apg.

Charlie Scott also averaged 4.6apg that year. However, Scott only played 31 games.

[rmt]

Olajuwon (1994 Playoffs) 28.9 pt,11.0 rb,4.3 as,4.0 blk

Duncan (2003 Playoffs) 24.7 pt,15.4 rb,5.3 as,3.3 blk


They led their teams in pts,rb,as and blk

Duncan playoffs

2001 24.4 pts / 14.5 rebs / 3.8 asst / 2.7 blks
2002 27.6 pts / 14.4 rebs / 5.0 asst / 4.3 blks
2003 24.7 pts / 15.4 rebs / 5.3 asst / 3.3 blks

led Spurs in pts, rebs, asst and blks

[RoundMoundOfReb]

LeBron James does it again in 2013-2014

[dubeta]

The real question is if any other player has led their team in both points per game and r*pes per game the way kobe has :lol
