Also, Shaq never got 30/12 even once in his career since I have retroactively called him for travels and offensive fouls on every post move he made since entering the league in 1992. His corrected career totals of 5.5 ppg/4.8 rpg are not that impressive.

If I ever had access to Doc Brown's Delorean, I swear going back to 1990 and warning David Stern of the horrors that would result from not calling the 4 pivot hop step/charge against Shaq would be right at the top of my list, along with investing in Apple and preventing the Holocaust.

The last time it happened was in November of 2008, when inexplicably it happened TWICE in the same month (first Dirk and Josh Howard vs. NYK www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200811160NYK.html, then Al Harrington and David Lee vs. GSW www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200811290NYK.html). So yes, the last 2 times this happened, there was one legitimate player and one guy who makes you scratch your head.

Before that the last time was Kobe and Shaq in 2003.

The list of players who have had 30/12 in even one game is a who's who of NBA stars, not surprisingly. But it's amazing how many times Amare, Dirk, Duncan, Elton Brand, Boozer, Al Jeezy, Zach Randolph, Yao Ming, Chris Bosh, LeBron, and KG have gone off for 30/12 in the last 15 years. Some of those guys you say, sure, but some of them it's like... wow. Boozer is actually pretty elite looking at his career.

Also, Garnett and Duncan were both forces of nature from 2000-2007.
