NBA Players with most 20-point 20-rebound games in the last 10 years

#4 Kevin Love - 15 games

Kevin Love is the talisman for the Cleveland Cavaliers after the departure of LeBron James

After Kyrie Irving and LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was up to Kevin Love to carry the mantle for the franchise. He is averaging 17.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3 assists while shooting 38.1% from the range.

However, all his 15 games where he recorded a 20-points and 20-rebounds came when he was representing the Minnesota Timberwolves. Drafted in 2008 by the Timberwolves as the fifth overall pick, Love averaged 19.2 points and 12.2 rebounds in six seasons. The performances came against the likes of Lakers, Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, etc. His best performance came against the Warriors in 2011, when he dropped 37 points and grabbed 23 rebounds.

The forward continues to be one of the most underrated players in the league and played a pivotal role in the 2016 NBA Championship victory for the Cavaliers.

#3 DeMarcus Cousins - 16 games

DeMarcus Cousins was recently waived by the Los Angeles Lakers

Number third on the list with the most games recording 20 points and 20 rebounds is DeMarcus Cousins. Nicknamed "Boogie", Cousins has had an injury-hit career. He is one of those players who is nearly unstoppable when fully fit but struggles to stay fit.

Drafted by the Sacramento Kings as the fifth overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Cousins immediately hit the ground running as he averaged 14.1 points, and 8.6 rebounds in his first season with the Kings. His ability from the range got better as the season went along and soon became a genuine threat from beyond the arc. He was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans a couple of seasons later.

The 16 games where Boogie recorded over 20 points and 20 rebounds came for both the Kings and the Pelicans. His best performance of the lot came for the Pelicans in a win against the Chicago Bulls where he dropped 44 points, 23 rebounds, and 10 assists.
