Really? Two Bernucca Lists in a row without a correct answer?
C’mon, Sheridan Hoops readers, you’re better than that.
Yes, Edition 16 was a tough one, and sooner or later, we were going to produce one of these lists that stumped our readership.
And reader Andrew was very close on Edition 17, which ran last week. However, we have to question his sense of NBA history.
The correct answer was “Players who have averaged 25 points and 13 rebounds in the same season.” We gave a hint that there is a player on pace to do it this season (Kevin Love).
Andrew had the numbers. He even had Love on pace. But his answer began with “Players since merger …” The list included 10 guys who did it before the NBA-ABA merger in 1976.
Perhaps he meant the NBA-BAA merger, which occurred sometime during the Korean war.
In any event, we have a new list below. Time to step up your game. Find the common thread among the list of players. Sorry, no hint this week.
You can Tweet me the answer or write it in the comments box below.

Active NBA players with the most career triple doubles
They all led their teams in two different statistical categories in a Finals series
All players that have received 1 million fan votes at least once in the All-Star ballot?
They’re all leading scorers on the losing team in the Finals?
No more calls, please. We have a winner! Nice job by Daniel. Dylan was close, which counts in dancing and nuclear war.
