2016 NBA Power Rankings: How All 30 Teams Shake out in Early April
April is the end of the line for the NBA regular season. By May, not only will the 14 lottery squads be bored at home, but there'll also be another eight first-round ousters heading into the offseason unfulfilled.
For now, we've still got 30 teams accounted for. Enjoy it while they're all still here.
In this week's power rankings, the middle tier saw the most activity—which makes sense because the teams occupying those spots are the ones getting desperate. Whether pushing for a playoff spot or trying like crazy to hold on to the one they already have, squads ranked in the teens have been highly volatile. That instability turned out to be good news for the Detroit Pistons this week. The Memphis Grizzlies enjoyed it less.
Rankings are based on overall performance, with an emphasis on recent play. In some cases, as you'll see in the top 10 this week, head-to-head matchups are also factors.
The end is nigh, folks. We've reached April.
Here's how everyone stacks up with mere weeks to go.
30. Philadelphia 76ers
1 of 30
Last Week: 30
"I have a personal request," Philadelphia 76ers chairman of basketball operations Jerry Colangelo said in a message posted on Sixers.com (via Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer). "I am saying to you: Don't give it up. There's one way to go, and that's up, and it's going to be fun building it."
This is a thing you say if your team has endured four losing streaks of at least 10 games and already has its ticket punched for a 70-loss season. And you say it because it's true, but also because you've got to give your fans something to cling to.
The Sixers haven't won since March 11. It was their only victory of the month. In February, they also won just one game.
They own the 30th spot yet again, of course, but with Joel Embiid working out, Dario Saric coming aboard next year (fingers crossed) and the best lottery odds in the draft, Colangelo may be right about the franchise trending up—if only because the alternative is impossible.
29. Los Angeles Lakers
2 of 30
Last Week: 29
Here's a fun one from ESPN.com's Tom Haberstroh: "The Warriors are 68-7. The Lakers are 68-175 in their last 243 games."
Yeah...not great.
The Los Angeles Lakers got smashed by a franchise-record-tying 48 points against the Utah Jazz on Monday, but the good news is that the blowout may have had more to do with a massive locker room rift than a near-50-point talent gap between the two teams.
OK, maybe that's not good news.
Kobe Bryant seems intent on playing out the string, but he managed just nine minutes in Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat. With all the chaos surrounding the team, Bryant's farewell tour feels more like a circus than ever. He'll soldier to the finish, and you've got to imagine he's looking forward to his honorable discharge more than ever.
28. New Orleans Pelicans
3 of 30
Last Week: 26
After adding Jrue Holiday and Alonzo Gee to the ever-growing list of New Orleans Pelicans lost for the season, head coach Alvin Gentry is turning to the dark arts for help...and it's hard to blame him.
Per a tweet from Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com: "A smiling Alvin Gentry said voodoo doctors/spiritual advisers have already reached out to #Pelicans to help: 'We've got some volunteers.'"
Losing Anthony Davis was the big blow, but Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Quincy Pondexter and Bryce Dejean-Jones are also done for the year. Toss in Ryan Anderson's sports hernia and Norris Cole's bad back, and you've got an entire nine-man rotation shelved.
New Orleans started Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca together against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, along with Toney Douglas, Jordan Hamilton and Dante Cunningham. No wonder Gentry's feeling jinxed.
27. Phoenix Suns
4 of 30
Last Week: 25
We have to talk about Devin Booker...because what else is there?
If anyone's going to put an end to Karl-Anthony Towns' potential clean sweep of every Western Conference Rookie of the Month award, it'll be the Phoenix Suns' shooting guard, who led all rookies in total points and assists in March.
Better still, Booker's taking after some of the game's bolder long-range shooters and chucking up threes from well beyond the arc. According to NBA.com, he's taken 105 shots from 25-29 feet this year, hitting a shocking 36.2 percent.
Phoenix went 0-4 this week, and only one of those games came against a playoff team. As long as Booker's around, though, there's hope for better things in the future.
26. Brooklyn Nets
5 of 30
Last Week: 27
The Brooklyn Nets strung together a pair of wins (which counts as a streak for them) last week, beating the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers. It's that third one that has been the trick for Brooklyn—the Nets have won two straight four times this year but have never completed the trio.
Don't expect that to change over the final two weeks.
Brooklyn is already sporadically resting key starters like Brook Lopez, and four of its final seven games come on the road.
With this year's first-rounder owed to the Boston Celtics, the Nets have little incentive to win and less to lose. Maybe they can try to avoid posting the worst defensive rating in the league—they're 29th.
25. New York Knicks
6 of 30
Last Week: 24
"Kurt Rambis wasn’t going to do it—or, at least, he’d shown no inclination—so the Knicks players pushed the interim coach into the right decision for the franchise," Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News wrote.
He was referring to Carmelo Anthony and other New York Knicks vets approaching Rambis and asking that their minutes be cut so the younger players on the roster might develop.
"Those guys need to play, especially right now," Anthony said, per Bondy. "They need to be out there, they need playing time, they need playing experience. You can practice and do drills and one-on-one things all day long but you only get that experience by playing in an actual game."
This isn't how it's supposed to work.
Rambis, coaching a lottery-bound team that needs to identify potential keepers as the season winds down, should have made this move weeks ago. Anthony, coming off knee surgery and approaching his 32nd birthday, averaged 37.6 minutes in February and 37.1 in March. For reference, James Harden leads the league this season at 38 minutes flat.
Playing Melo that much is practically a criminal offense for a head coach in Rambis' position. It's enough to make you look at Rambis' career 28.3 winning percentage as a head coach and wonder how it's that high.
24. Sacramento Kings
7 of 30
Last Week: 28
Break up the Sacramento Kings!
Everyone's favorite dysfunctional NBA family won three out of four last week and showed encouraging signs of team harmony. Synchronized mock applause from Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins earned them simultaneous technicals from unimpressed official Marc Davis in Wednesday's 120-111 win against the Washington Wizards.
Teamwork!
Rondo went ahead and got another, earning an ejection with 6.7 seconds left in a meaningless game. Cousins' tech was his 16th of the year, meaning he'll get a league-mandated one-game suspension unless it's rescinded.
Bright side: Sacramento pushed its win total to 30, marking the first time that's happened since the 2007-08 season. It looks like all the chaos this year and future-mortgaging last summer was worth it, huh?
23. Milwaukee Bucks
8 of 30
Last Week: 22
The Milwaukee Bucks finally put a five-game losing streak to bed with Wednesday's 105-94 win over the Suns, but the biggest news this week came from head coach Jason Kidd, who announced Giannis Antetokounmpo would continue as the team's primary ball-handler next season.
"We're going to go forward with him [Antetokounmpo] handling the ball," Kidd said, per Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "You can call him point guard, point forward, point center, however you want to look at it.
Good call.
Antetokounmpo averaged 18.4 points, 7.2 assists and 7.1 rebounds while hitting 50.7 percent of his shots in March. More telling: The Bucks posted an offensive rating of 105.1 in the Greek Freak's first full month running the offense, bettering their overall season mark of 102.5.
The sample's not overwhelmingly large, but there's evidence to suggest Giannis at the point is a workable strategy.
Also, it's super-fun. More, please!
22. Minnesota Timberwolves
9 of 30Last Week: 21
I don't want to bog this thing down with a lot of video, so here's a pledge: We'll limit the clips to driving rim attacks from rookie centers (who look and act very much like guards) that conclude with wrong-footed dunks in traffic.
So, here's Karl-Anthony Towns doing that this week.
KAT hit the Suns for 27 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in the above-captured Monday win. He put up the exact same stat line in the Minnesota Timberwolves' Friday victory over the Washington Wizards.
Head coach Sam Mitchell may not be happy with his team's effort lately, but he'll likely be gone next season. And in the meantime, he can watch clips of Towns on a loop to get himself through April.
21. Orlando Magic
10 of 30
Last Week: 23
The Orlando Magic climb a couple of spots on the strength of back-to-back blowout wins against the Chicago Bulls and Nets this week. And if stomping out fellow playoff non-participants isn't enough to justify a climb for you, just know Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys (as if I have to explain who Nick Carter is...he's Nick Carter!) is a big fan.
That's good enough at this stage of the season.
Maybe that seems arbitrary. Maybe you'd prefer we focus on Andrew Nicholson's 9-of-9, 24-point outing against Brooklyn as more serious criteria for rankings advancement. Maybe you don't want the Magic's ranking to be based on something as silly as a boy band endorsement.
But guess what?
20. Denver Nuggets
11 of 30
Last Week: 19
You can't really do much better than coaching praise from Rick Carlisle, and that's exactly what Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone got this week, per Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post:
"This is a very good young team, and one of the real underrated coaching jobs in our league is happening here with Mike Malone. He’s taken a bunch of guys that were viewed as role players and gotten these guys into a system where they are having some success. They are extremely difficult to play.
"
The Nuggets are respectable this year, and though they won't be in the playoffs, Malone has helped instill a reliable system and a competitive culture. On his watch, Nikola Jokic has blossomed, and Emmanuel Mudiay somehow maintained his confidence after a truly dreadful start to his rookie year.
In a year that should have been a total loss, the Nuggets look like they're closer to the middle stages of their rebuilding project. The better-than-expected talent has helped, but Malone's stewardship can't go unremarked upon any longer.
19. Chicago Bulls
12 of 30
Last Week: 20
The Bulls may yet crawl into the playoffs, though last week's four-game losing streak makes it feel pretty unlikely. If they somehow manage to bridge the gap, don't expect them to celebrate.
The way this beleaguered team reacted to Jimmy Butler's game-winning jumper against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday suggests jubilation isn't in the Bulls' emotional repertoire.
"After it was over, the Bulls didn't look or sound like a group ecstatic to keep its playoff hopes alive," Nick Friedell of ESPN.com wrote. "They didn't celebrate as if this was the start of the momentum they've been searching for most of the season. The vibe in the locker room seemed like that of a team that is just ready to get the season over with."
With Chris Mannix of The Vertical reporting on locker room rifts and general dissatisfaction toward Fred Hoiberg, it gets easier to understand the dour mood.
18. Memphis Grizzlies
13 of 30
Last Week: 15
It's a good thing the Memphis Grizzlies banked all those wins before and immediately after they lost Marc Gasol for the season. The way things are going, they'll need every last one of them.
Losers of four straight and fielding rosters dotted with D-League call-ups, the Grizzlies are nowhere near playoff quality. It doesn't matter because Memphis won't have much of a chance against any top seed in the West, but its recent slide could mean surrendering the No. 5 spot in the conference.
And it's no longer totally inconceivable for the Grizz to slip out of the postseason entirely.
They're four games ahead of the Mavs (technically the No. 9 team in the conference) in the loss column with seven to play. Oh, and two of Memphis' final three games will come against the Golden State Warriors, who might have historical reasons to take both games seriously.
17. Dallas Mavericks
14 of 30
Last Week: 17
The Dallas Mavericks went 2-2 this week, with Sunday's brutal 133-111 loss to the Kings standing out as a frightening low point.
The Mavs have tried everything to stabilize a season spinning out of control—from adding Justin Anderson and Dwight Powell to the starting lineup, to riding Dirk Nowitzki one night, to covering for him with J.J. Barea scoring outbursts the next. It's been painful to see them struggle but also kind of inspiring to watch them hang on like they have.
Holger Geschwindner, Nowitzki's personal coach and a guy I like to imagine hitting Dirk with trash can lids while the sniper shoots blind-folded jumpers on a balance beam over a pit of alligators, is scheduled to join the team for the stretch run, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com.
Locked into a three-way struggle for the last two playoff spots with the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets, the Mavs must pull out all the stops. That shouldn't be a problem; they've been doing that, and clinging to life, for weeks.
16. Washington Wizards
15 of 30
Last Week: 16
The Wizards made it all the way back to .500 on March 21, using a five-game winning streak to (theoretically) save their season. Four losses in the subsequent five games have Washington's playoff hopes on life support.
With seven left, Washington is three games behind the eighth-seeded Pacers.
Per J. Michael of CSNMidAtlantic.com: "We didn’t have any sense of urgency," Bradley Beal said after a gut-punch loss to the Kings on Wednesday. "To me it felt like we just gave up. We’re just not hungry enough."
The Wizards are out of time now. If they don't develop an appetite immediately, it could (and probably should) trigger an offseason overhaul.
15. Houston Rockets
16 of 30
Last Week: 18
The Houston Rockets get a bump via wins over the Toronto Raptors and LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers this week, though it also helped that the Grizzlies, Wizards and Mavericks all looked generally shaky.
Having acknowledged Houston's relative success, it's time for tougher talk.
Despite everyone enjoying his trigger-happy approach and high field-goal percentage, Michael Beasley is not helping the Rockets. Through games played March 30, Houston's net rating was 16.5 points per 100 possessions better with Beasley on the bench. For perspective, Ty Lawson, who was so bad the Rockets waived him, only produced a negative net-rating swing of 10.3 points per 100 possessions.
Even worse: Beasley's biggest negative impact is on defense, which is exactly where the Rockets need help. They rank 22nd in the league on that end, checking in at No. 9 on offense.
If the Rockets make the playoffs, let's hope they don't fool themselves into thinking Beasley was the reason.
14. Indiana Pacers
17 of 30
Last Week: 13
A comically soft closing schedule means the Pacers' grip on the East's No. 8 spot is almost certainly safe. But Lord help them if they run into any close games during the playoffs.
Mark Montieth of Pacers.com laid out the shockingly ugly numbers:
"The most damning stat is that they have missed all 13 field-goal attempts taken in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter of games when the score was separated by three points or less, and 6-of-30 in the final 30 seconds of those games. They are 1-of-8 in the final 10 seconds of overtimes.
"
If you've watched any of Indiana's late-game offensive possessions, maybe those stats don't blow you away. After all, Monta Ellis isolating in stagnant four-flat sets is a great way to get consistently awful shots. Paul George's penchant for pull-up jumpers is another.
The Pacers defend, mostly play hard and, outside the last minute or so of games, seem well coached. Just keep the above figures in mind as you look for potential first-round upset options among the low playoff seeds. Indy can't score when it counts, and that seems like it'll be an issue in the postseason—when every possession matters.
13. Portland Trail Blazers
18 of 30
Last Week: 11
The Portland Trail Blazers' 8-8 record in March felt disappointing after they achieved darling status with terrific efforts in January and February.
Keep perspective, though: If you'd been told before the season that the Blazers would finish a calendar month with a .500 record, you would have assumed that was their best month of the year.
Wins over Philadelphia and Sacramento this week weren't enough to avoid slippage, as a couple of teams did more to move up. Thursday's home win against the Boston Celtics was a good one, but the Blazers have been merely mediocre for weeks now.
Perhaps Moe Harkless, Portland's new starter and replacement for Meyers Leonard (whose season is over because of a shoulder injury), will provide a spark. He's been better in the first unit, averaging 12.4 points and 6.1 rebounds on 56.5 percent shooting during his first seven starts.
12. Detroit Pistons
19 of 30
Last Week: 14
To head coach Stan Van Gundy's delight, the Pistons have done it with defense.
This week's 2-1 mark came courtesy of a 99.5 defensive rating, sixth-best in the league from March 25-30 and significantly better than Detroit's overall figure of 103.4. Having won six of seven, the Pistons aren't just succeeding; they're succeeding on Van Gundy's terms.
The final push will provide a real test. The Pistons will see desperate efforts from Dallas and Chicago, a Miami Heat team looking to secure a No. 3 seed and the Cleveland Cavaliers before the season ends.
If the defense slips and Van Gundy gets worried about hitting the playoffs (yes, we're assuming they'll make it) on a sour note, perhaps he can calm himself by noting the Pistons have secured their first 40-win season since 2007-08. That was the final year in Detroit's streak of six straight conference finals appearances.
So yeah, it's been a while.
11. Utah Jazz
20 of 30
Last Week: 12
Even after dropping a 103-96 contest to the Warriors on Wednesday, the Utah Jazz have an 91 percent chance to make the playoffs, per FiveThirtyEight.com. The odds seem even better than that, considering Utah's dominant defense of late and its highly competitive effort against the unbeatable Warriors.
Since we last ranked, the Jazz's defensive rating of 88.5 is tops in the league. And that 48-point win over the Lakers on Monday helped inflate Utah's overall net rating to plus-1.3, 12th in the NBA.
The Jazz also proved their unconventional twin-tower approach can work against the very best undersized opponents. Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors both had major impacts against Golden State, and it's possible the Jazz would have prevailed if Favors hadn't sprained an ankle and a knee in the game.
10. Boston Celtics
21 of 30
Last Week: 9
Three weeks off was enough for Jae Crowder and, fortunately, it wasn't too much for the Boston Celtics, who've stayed in the hunt for the East's No. 3 seed without their best player.
Crowder returned against the Blazers on Thursday, and though he showed signs of rust, he flashed the defensive versatility and competitiveness that make him so vital to the Celtics' success. On the season, his on-court net rating is the highest in Boston's rotation.
The Celtics are in the midst of a five-game swing out West. If they survive it, they'll get a chance to capitalize on four of their final five games coming at home. That third seed is up for grabs, and Boston is in position to snatch it.
9. Miami Heat
22 of 30
Last Week: 10
It's kind of remarkable the Heat have gone from being a thin, defense-only outfit to a scoring force with a viable eight-man rotation in the span of a season. Thanks to the emergence of Josh Richardson, the addition of Joe Johnson and the steady productivity of Hassan Whiteside, Miami is a changed team.
Whiteside has been particularly effective, averaging 18.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.3 blocks in just 30.7 minutes per game in March.
Off the bench.
8. Charlotte Hornets
23 of 30
Last Week: 6
Don't worry, Charlotte Hornets. We still love you.
And especially you, Nicolas Batum. That was a very nice triple-double against Philadelphia on Tuesday. Here's hoping you'll enjoy the fat max contract coming your way in free agency this summer.
It's just that wins against the Bucks and Sixers (and a loss to the Pistons) mean your week wasn't all that impressive. And with two hot teams in need of recognition via improved ranking, well...you know how it goes.
You're still the most exciting dark horse in the East, and we all still dig the three-point shooting and sneaky-good defense. Take care of business against the Cavs and/or Raptors on the road next week, and you'll be right back in the thick of the praise parade.
7. Los Angeles Clippers
24 of 30
Last Week: 8
For starters, we can skip any analysis of the Clippers' loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. L.A. rested the big guns, so there's not a whole lot of meaningful data from that one. Unless you're convinced Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford will combine for 64 points every time they start together from now on.
It's more important that the Clips get Blake Griffin back Sunday from his injury/suspension. Though the narrative tipped back and forth during his absence, moving between poles of "L.A. doesn't need Blake" to "L.A. is cooked without Blake" and back again, it's difficult to give the Clippers even an outside shot at playoff noise without their power forward.
You've really got to fight with some numbers, though. A refresher: Since Griffin went down on Christmas, L.A. has outscored opponents by seven points per 100 possessions through March 30. Before that, their net rating was only plus-2.4, and their record a pedestrian 17-13.
Call it a misplaced gut feeling or even naivete, but Griffin should be able to help the Clippers—if only as a way to prop up the second unit when Chris Paul rests.
Locked into the fourth seed in the West, L.A. will have a couple of weeks to experiment before things get serious.
6. Atlanta Hawks
25 of 30
Last Week: 7
The Atlanta Hawks have won nine out of 11 and have no chance of falling below sixth in the East. That's good, because a No. 7 seed would mean a first-round date with the Toronto Raptors.
Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution explained why that would be a problem after the Hawks' 105-97 loss to Toronto on Wednesday:
"If the Hawks meet the Raptors in the playoffs. they’ll have plenty of video to study—of how not to play. ...The Hawks have three losses in their past 15 games and two of them are at the Raptors. The Hawks have lost four straight games overall to Raptors, including all three games this season.
"
Vulnerability against Toronto aside, it feels strangely like the Hawks are more dangerous heading into this year's playoffs than they were last year. That 60-win outfit felt somehow fragile—too dependent on precise offensive execution and lacking a fallback plan.
It's different now, as Atlanta is among the league's best defensive teams. If and when the good looks dry up, this version of the Hawks is better equipped to grind out droughts.
5. Toronto Raptors
26 of 30
Last Week: 5
That growling you hear is DeMarre Carroll getting ready to return. But he won't do it until he's fit enough to go full bore, per comments he made to Eric Koreen of SportsNet in Toronto: "When you play like a dog, you can't go out there being passive. I don't want to be a poodle out there. I want to be like a bulldog."
Even the poodle version of Carroll could help Toronto. His perimeter defense, toughness and three-point shooting changes the makeup of the team. And if he's healthy enough to bang with bigs, Carroll's ability to play power forward opens up huge swaths of space for Kyle Lowry.
Lowry needs space these days, as a bad elbow has dramatically compromised his shooting stroke.
Per B/R Insights, Lowry is shooting 25 percent from the field over his last five games (20-of-80). In those five games, he has failed to shoot better than 33 percent each time.
Here we are talking about injured players and busted strokes, and the Raps still beat Atlanta on Wednesday. Clearly, things aren't all bad for Toronto.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers
27 of 30
Last Week: 3
There's always something to worry about with the Cavaliers, but you can never get too worked up because it's still difficult to concoct a scenario that doesn't involve them reaching the NBA Finals.
Losses to the Nets and Rockets in the same week? That seems bad, but Cleveland is on pace to easily eclipse its 53 wins from a year ago.
Tyronn Lue getting towels tossed disrespectfully onto his shoulder? That also seems bad, but the Cavs made the Finals playing for David Blatt...and it turns out they really didn't like him.
LeBron James' social media goofs, Kyrie Irving's ball-hoggery, Kevin Love's continually clunky fit—all that stuff matters. But it just doesn't matter enough to derail Cleveland. Not without a clear challenger in the conference, and not as long as James is healthy enough to play.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
28 of 30
Last Week: 4
Losses to Detroit and Reggie Jackson's "bush league" celebrations aside, the Oklahoma City Thunder are about as potent a No. 3 seed as there's ever been.
They put together an eight-win March streak during which they scored at least 110 points in every game, something no team had done since 1994, per ESPN Stats & Info. With Russell Westbrook piling up triple-doubles and Kevin Durant's streak of scoring at least 20 points extending all the way back to early November, OKC is a stat-stuffing monster.
Whether it can consistently defend and execute in clutch situations are separate issues. But against all but the historically dominant (the next two teams in our rankings, of course), Oklahoma City would seem to have a pronounced edge.
They've shuffled back and forth a bit this year, but it feels like the Thunder belong at No. 3.
2. San Antonio Spurs
29 of 30
Last Week: 2
With the No. 2 seed locked up and no real chance of moving up, health is the Spurs' only potential concern the rest of the way. Sure, normal teams might consider pursuing an undefeated home record. For them, we'd probably parse out the remaining schedule and guess about the chances of a perfect home mark becoming reality.
But the Spurs aren't normal. And they don't care about normal things.
What was it worth to set the record for most consecutive home wins to start a season this week?
"Absolutely nothing," head coach Gregg Popovich told Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com. "Maybe a cup of coffee. Maybe."
San Antonio is on cruise control the rest of the way. Expect ample rest for vets, no celebration for any regular-season achievement and maybe (hopefully) some gamesmanship in those two remaining meetings with the Warriors.
Conclusion: As always, the Spurs are great, but as far as they're concerned, they've done nothing.
1. Golden State Warriors
30 of 30
Last Week: 1
The Warriors are going to break the all-time regular-season wins record, and they might not even have to work that hard to do it.
Getting past the Jazz on Wednesday on the second leg of a back-to-back set was huge. If you were scoping the schedule for possible losses ahead of time, you circled that one for sure. But now, the Warriors play five of their final seven games at home (where they haven't lost), and those two remaining meetings with the Spurs might be mere formalities.
You get the sense (or at least I do) that Popovich likes the idea of putting more pressure on the Warriors to win in the playoffs by standing down and letting them get the wins record. It'll be stunning if San Antonio's starters play more than one of those games.
Let's see, what else?
Oh, Draymond Green became the first player in NBA history to amass 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocks in a season, per Basketball-Reference.com. That seems good.
