Kevin Garnett was an NBA anomaly. As a 6'11" forward, he was nimble as a fawn with handles like a point guard and jump shots like a shooting guard. Garnett, a lethal mid-range shooter and post-up player, garnered 26,071 career points and 14,662 rebounds.

One of the league's most influential players, "The Big Ticket" is a 15-time All-Star, four-time rebounds leader and 2008 NBA champion. He is one of the few players who averaged a career double-double. In his 21-years in the league, Garnett averaged 17.8 points and 10 rebounds.

#2 Dwight Howard - 815 double-doubles

Dwight Howard will begin his third stint with the LA Lakers. His first was a bitter-sweet experience after a fall-out with the late legend Kobe Bryant. Dwight returned to Staples in the 2019-20 NBA season and won his first and only ring. He is set to play the 2021-22 season again with the same team, joining a star studded team led by the trio of LeBron, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis.

Normally when a player leaves a team after winning a championship there's no unfinished business. That's not the case for Dwight Howard and Rajon Rondo. They both came back to experience the one thing they never got to in L.A. – a championship parade. https://t.co/19hBdOPJvD

Howard at his peak was a demon in the paint. His dominance above and under the rim overwhelmed opponents on a regular basis. His exceptional defensive abilities, jumping prowess and strength remain a story for the ages. The aging Superman has lost much of his scoring abilities but remains a commanding offensive rebounder to this date. He has registered 815 double-doubles in his career.

#1 Tim Duncan - 835 double-doubles

Tim Duncan is perhaps the world's greatest center ever to pick a basketball. His legacy is enscribed with lores of his great conquests. Duncan was one of the most feared offensive players in 2000s. From 2000-2001 to 2015-16 seasons, Timmy registered 835 double-double games.

In May, I took on my biggest project ever as I honored Tim Duncan leading up to his Hall of Fame induction. Here's a thread with links to all of that week's articles in order of publication. #GoSpursGo pic.twitter.com/aDqOpdH9HP

Over 19 years with the San Antonio Spurs, Duncan averaged 19 points and 10.8 rebounds. He won five NBA championships, appeared in 15 All-Star games, and was awarded three NBA Finals MVPs and two MVPs.

An avid Chicago Bears fan, Duncan was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2021. His legacy and impact on the game have become inspirations for young basketball enthusiasts all over the world. Big Fundamental is a master amongst monsters, a phantom that will never be forgotten.
