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.

One of the most surprising has to be Tim Duncan’s free throw percentages throughout his career. He’ll shoot 60% one year, 75 the next, then 65, then 78. Despite a decent sample size every year, there are often huge fluctuations. I can’t think of anyone else that fluctuates so wildly (some others improve a lot, but it’s usually not up and down like that)

Dude had a super flat release, it was kind of weird that it’d be consistent for a full year and inconsistent for another full year though

Giannis looking kind of similar. His bricks are more memorable though.
