Ty Jerome and John Collins are the only players this season on pace to join the elite 50/40/90 club

Nash nearly did it five years in a row

Boston Celtics Hall of Famer Larry Bird was the first player in NBA history to post a 50/40/90 season. Larry Legend did so during the 1986-87 campaign and made it back-to-back in 1987-88.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Mark Price became the second player to accomplish the feat in 1988-89. It took five seasons for the league to see the next one, Indiana Pacers sharpshooter Reggie Miller, who did it during the 1993-94 NBA season. The league waited a dozen years before Steve Nash joined the club.

The Canadian accomplished the feat four times during a five-year span from 2005-06 to 2009-10. Interestingly, the two-time NBA MVP could have made it five in a row, but he narrowly missed it during the 2006-07 season when he shot 89.9% from the free-throw line. The year Nash barely missed a fifth entry, Dirk Nowitzki achieved the milestone.

Two players are on pace to do it this season

Three more players joined the elite group during the 2010s: Kevin Durant in 2012-13, Stephen Curry in 2015-16, and Malcolm Brogdon during the 2018-19 campaign. Curry was the first player to post a 50/40/90 season while leading the league in scoring.

Kyrie Irving did it this decade during the 2020-21 NBA season, while KD joined Bird and Nash as the only players to do it multiple times during the 2022-23 campaign. No one had such a campaign last year.

The 2024-25 season is still very young, but as of December 14th, only Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Ty Jerome and Utah Jazz forward John Collins are on pace to accomplish the feat this season. Jerome currently has shooting splits of .547/.465/.911 while Collins is at .540/.453/.901.
