10. It's Ridiculous, Isn't It?

He averaged 50.4ppg one year. In another year he averaged OVER 27 rebounds per game. He averaged over 20 rebounds per game nine times!
And, at one point over 2 seasons he let his scoring fall down to a "puny" 24 points so ge could lead the team in assists. He average 8.2 assists over a 2 year period.
I wonder how many blocked shots he would have had they counted the blocks. (He played nearly his whole career before the NBA started recording blocks. Technically he was on the roster the first year they tracked blocks, but he didn't play, as he sat out his whole option year.)
Has to be at least a few thousand.
