Those non-ho-hum double-doubles

Double-doubles are not awfully impressive, since scoring ten points is not that big a deal, and the best rebounder on any given team is going to get ten occasionally. However, a D/D in any combination other than points and rebounds is a big deal. Getting ten assists in a game is pretty rare, as attested by the fact that the current leader in assists in the SBC averages 6.1 per game, and totals for blocks and steals would be much less even than assists. And if someone gets a non-standard TRIPLE/double (without either points or rebounds), that is a big, BIG deal.
