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.

    Reggie Miller. Thought he was a multiple 20+ scorer over the years and was 1st tier all nba, but only had 5 all star appearances to go with it.

      The NBA was A LOT different when he played. Very few players even touched 25+ points per game, maybe like 3 a year. Miller was consistently near the 20 mark and that was extremely impressive for the time.

      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
