What NBA player, past or present, had stats that surprised you either positively or negatively when you when you looked them up? (alien.top)

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.

Same. I always think of him as one of the 5 best SGs ever but in actuality he was probably closer to a Kyle Korver (good starter, borderline AS) than Kobe or DWade level superstar

This might be one of the dumbest comments ever.

kyle fucking korver? really? go watch some reggie miller and send him a written apology for that comparison

Kobe once called him the hardest player to defend so take that as you will

For sure. He was the model for Steph running guys through a gauntlet of screens
