For example I looked up Kenyon Martin today. I remember him being an all-star so I figured he must have had multiple 20/10 seasons. Turns out he never averaged more than 17 ppg and only got 10 rpg one season.

Muggsy Bogues surprised me positively. I thought he was just a role player like Early Boykins. Turns out he had several seasons averaging over 8 apg and a couple seasons averaging over 10 apg.

Kevin Johnson

He averaged more points and assists than other great point guards like Kidd, Nash, and CP3

To be fair, had his career not been cut short due to injuries, he most likely would have been on that list of greats point guards.

Shorter run tho. He was great for that short period.

TIL KJ was the mayor of Sacramento

He did some scummy things. But, he helped keep the Kings in Sacramento when the Maloofs wanted to relocate to Vegas, Anaheim and Seattle.

My ultimate NBA hipster gear is an Anaheim Royals shirt.
