Cunningham ties Jordan with NBA stats record

Pistons' Cade Cunningham hit an NBA stats record only ever done by Michael Jordan in basketball history image

Cade Cunningham has joined a club previously only occupied by Michael Jordan.

The Detroit Pistons' young superstar is keeping MJ company in NBA history.

On Monday night, the Pistons played a high-scoring overtime game with the Washington Wizards. And Cunningham had a massive night.

Before Monday, only MJ had ever had a game with at least 40 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals, according to StatMuse.

Cunningham has done that now, too.

His final stats vs. The Wizards:

  • 46 points
  • 12 rebounds
  • 11 assists
  • 5 steals
  • 2 blocks

But now the kicker. Cunningham took an ungodly amount of shots:

  • 14-for-45 FG
  • 2-for-11 3FG
  • 16-for-18 FT

That's absolutely astounding.

The Pistons were without Tobias Harris and remain with Jaden Ivey, so this was the Cunningham show.

It was a fast-paced game, so he got to just keep chucking it up.

If Cunningham had been more efficient, the game would've avoided overtime and he likely would've had a 50-point night.

But Cade still joined Michael in NBA history. So that's not a bad outcome.
