PENTAGAMI alert: Kawhi Leonard tonight: 55/11/2/5/3
First time in NBA history someone records those numbers or better in a game.
2nd pentagami TODAY after Scottie’s 23/25/10/3/1 earlier.
The Klaw’s first career pentagami!
His knees have regenerated.
Check cleared last night
He’s a fun guy now
he is robocop now
Steve Ballmer “We can rebuild him.”
Aspiration’s renewable project were knees all along
Those implants worked
hes gonna need about 7 games off after this performance my god kawhi
Just to get his braids redone
I think the Kawhi ‘injuries’ are just cover for the return of the Terminators
When did SkyNet take control again? 🤔
Got that updated software + VPN installed for Christmas
And removed bloatware
With a new pair of 32GB RAMs
With today’s prices? That’s one expensive repair job!
Clippers about to go on a win streak and make some serious noise. Don’t believe anything you saw from them the first few months. Contender.
Go on a win streak yes contender no
This is literally the Clippers’ cycle every season:
It’s so predictable both ways they were never going to be the 14th seed or whatever but you’re also foolish if you fall for their turnaround yet again
As a Clippers fan, this is so accurate.
Yeah, you can’t beat us in the first round if we’re not there.
Yes, but this year… THEY’RE BACK
THE START IS SLOWER THAN EVER!!!
KAWHI IS CATCHING FIRE HOTTER THAN EVER 98% FROM THE LINE, PENTAGAMIS AND WHAT NOT, NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT, AMIRITE??
WILL LOOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND MORE THAN EVER (GUARANTEED THIS TIME 100%) ( MAYBE EVEN THE PLAY IN????)
NEW FEATURE 2025-6::: ILLEGAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME!!!!
Gonna tap the sign: This sub’s evaluation of a player or a team is only based on their last performance.
can’t forget whatever series we play in is gonna have a pivotal moment that shifts it for the other team (can be injury, or something like the alley oop game winner)
I lowkey see it. But they’ve not replaced Powell’s production (well they did with Beal lol) and Kawhi/JH need to play at this level for the rest of the season as well as old Lopez/Batum continuing to step up. I wouldn’t want them in the playoffs as a 7⁄8 seed tho that’s for sure
Zubac is a beast but clippers seem to flow better without him. Maybe im wrong though
I mean last season the Harden/Zubac PnR was cash money. Zubac has just regressed slightly this year from what I’ve seen
im fucking downnnn
I’ll settle for make the postseason in some way and fucking up the thunders pick
Absolutely nasty wtf
The duality of this man
Either injured or an amazing player?
The embid usual
51 of that was in 3 quarters
Harden gonna follow with a pantiegami tonight
Would you mind explaining the etymology of pentagami for those of us who do not have english as their first languages?
penta- (Greek prefix for five) + origami (metaphorically representing the complex “folding” of possibilities, finding the specific combinations that have never been reached)
pentagami: When an NBA player achieves a combination of the 5 major stat categories (PTS/REB/AST/STL/BLK) that has never been achieved before.
This seems like a reference to [Scorigami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorigami] a popular term for an original final score in the NFL.
Pentagami is different in that it isn’t just about unique stat lines, it has to be a stat line where at least one of the five stats is higher than a previous pentagami.

Not sure if you’re trolling or just confidently incorrect. Makes no difference to me, still funny.
What the fuck is a pentagami
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1or3q27/the_pentagami_an_nba_single_game_feat/
i dont know what is happening to this subreddit but the same guy that made this “basketball term” is constantly posting about pentagami’s by players
we could just say “Kawhi monster game [statline]” but for some reason /u/antmanmonaco is trying to make this a thing. its a meaningless term and in terms of analytics, holds literally NO value. one night a player could have a 31 point triple double with 11 rebounds and 12 assists with 5 steals and 1 block - the most steals by someone with at least 31 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 block. that’s the type of bullshit analytics that passes in this subreddit.
its actually very funny that if you search “pentagami” on the sub its literally just this dude the last couple months
tbh i respect the hustle haha
This is nothing to do with analytics or even cherry picking stats. These are the 5 classical counting stats and it’s mathematically interesting to observe NBA records across 5 dimensions.
How many previous Pentagamis did it erase?
So I had a look at the pentagami post from a few months back that had every one on it and found these games:
| Pete Maravich | 1977-03-18 | 51.0 | 6.0 | 1.0 | 5.0 | 2.0 |
| Michael Jordan | 1988-11-16 | 52.0 | 9.0 | 1.0 | 4.0 | 2.0 |
Also was 1 steal away from another one of Jordans: | Michael Jordan | 1996-03-07 | 53.0 | 11.0 | 2.0 | 6.0 | 0.0 |
The 2 assists made them relatively easy to find but I did eyeball it so I may have missed some. Would never have guessed pistol pete had a pentagami with only 1 assist
Best individual game of the season by far. Good to see the Klaw back
What a night
What a game from Kawhi…damn
Unc still got it!
He’s been on such a tear that I don’t even think this was his best performance of the weekend. That performance he had on Friday against the Blazers was insane. Felt like he took us back to 2019 for a second.
no this game was much better
With this game tonight, is Kawhi an all star lock this season? I know the Clippers record still isn’t good but he’s been all star worthy that he should end up making it?
Definitely not a lock. He might make it thanks to recency bias if he stays hot for 3-4 more weeks.
The clippers are hosting the all star game. Usually one person has to represent the franchise
That’s not a thing.
For example in 2021 the ASG was at State Farm Arena, and there was no Hawk player.
Whose more likely to make it, Kawhi or Devin Booker?
Booker if the Suns stay comfortably above .500
First career 50 ball no?
Yup, his previous career high was like 47 (couple times in the playoffs and once in regular season I believe)
They did say something about AI advancements every day
Very aspirational
Jokic yawns
Would a 80/30/30/20/20 game erase nearly every Pentagami?
kobes 81 and a handful of players that got 31+ boards would be left. 81/37/30/11/17 would erase everything
Tamagotchi fucks a Pentagram equals 9 months later a Pentagami.
Did another check clear? Might be a little late at 10-21 but they could get play in status if they really go on a run I guess
That’s a monstrous pentagami
He’ll be injured soon
