Memphis Grizzlies rookie forward Cameron Boozer has surpassed LeBron James as the youngest forward in NBA history to record a triple-double, achieving the milestone in his fifth career game. Writer Josh Cornelissen argues that Boozer's historic early start confirms his elite status, as Memphis opened the season with an undefeated 5-0 record following victories over Golden State, Utah, and Portland.

According to Cornelissen, Boozer's high-level basketball processing, physical readiness, and playmaking ability elevate his teammates in a manner comparable to James. Boozer also joined Hakeem Olajuwon as the only rookie frontcourt players to begin 5-0 while averaging at least 15 points and 10 rebounds.
