Crazy stat lines
In 2013, this Brooklyn Nets backup point guard had one of the oddest stat lines in NBA history. In over 13 minutes of playing time, he registered 1 point, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal. It will be remembered as his ‘’1 game’’ as he only recorded it in four of the five major statistical categories. And oh, by the way, his plus-minus in this game is also a -1.

A triple-double stat line is quite common in the NBA today, but this Golden State Warrior redefined this feat in 2017 wherein he tallied 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals to help his team win over the Memphis Grizzlies. This is the first-ever triple-double in NBA history not to include points. Speaking of points, Green put up 4 and added five more blocks to stamp his presence all over the court.
