If you’re a longtime fan of the Utah Jazz, the five-by-five (5×5) is a statistical concept you’re well familiar with. That’s the rare distinction given when a player registers a total of five or more in the five basic statistical categories, i.e. points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Jazz legend Andrei Kirilenko was once called the master of the 5×5, having accomplished the feat three times from 2003 to ’06.
In fact, over the last 23 years, only five players have a logged a 5×5. Surprisingly, AK47 isn’t the only former Jazzman to have pulled it off.
