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.

Grew up watching the Rockets when Calvin Murphy was one of the commentators. Knew he was a Hall of Famer, one of the best free throw shooters ever, etc. But I was blown away when I looked up his college stats and saw that he averaged 48.9 points per game as a freshman. I don't care what level or league or conference it is, basically averaging 50 for a season is stuff of legend.
