Brandon Ingram's comprehensive effort against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday has put him on a Mount Rushmore of nearly two decades of Los Angeles Lakers.

Ingram joins Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Pau Gasol as the only Lakers to record 21 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and three blocks in a game since the 1999-00 season, courtesy of Darius Soriano of Forum Blue and Gold.

The 2016 second overall pick didn't even see the floor in the fourth quarter, but still shot 10-of-16 in Los Angeles' win. He also had a steal in 28 minutes of action.

The quality of Lakers to satisfy the aforementioned statistical criteria doesn't exactly drop off before the turn of the millennium either. According to Basketball Reference, Vlade Divac, Elden Campbell, James Worthy, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic Johnson are the only other names to put up matching numbers in a single game before the 1999-00 season.
