[@varunkamat7390]

@Varun Kamat bro you literally said Donovan's 71/11 is more impressive than Luka's 60/10 forgetting about the rest of the stat line lol. If Luka only had 60/10 sure you would have a point but that is not the case. Sure Luka is 6'7 but he is not a big (PF/ C) those are the only guys who get 20 rebounds in a game, and it's still impressive because you denying the other opportunities to score. The more rebounds you have the less chances the other team can score. Since Luka is a non big he can start a fast break and get easy points and assist
