Is it David Robinson? It's David Robinson, right?
A Spur is among the top five rebounders in NBA playoff history and he is joined by the four greatest centers to ever play the game. These men have set the playoff rebounding bar so high that this list will probably remain the same for years to come. Can anyone guess which Spur makes the list?
Top Five Rebounders in NBA Playoff History
Is it David Robinson? It's David Robinson, right?
Nah, the guy is David's savior.
Grandpappy Duncan?
Guiseppe that is correct. Duncan is number five on the list and there is so much distance between him and the active players that can possibly catch him that it is actually possible that no one else will crack the top five.
I want DoK to come in and have a rant about Russell![]()
, thought it was sure to be dejuan blair
Just to give an idea about that, here is the top 5 for active players:
1) Shaq - 2508
2) Duncan - 2114
3) Ben Wallace - 1454
4) Dirk - 1118
5) Sheed - 1099
...
12) Dwight Howard - 725
...
18) LeBron - 598
I listed Dwight Howard because his current rpg in the playoff is over Duncan's (14.22 vs 12.44) so Howard is about the only guy who might catch up with Duncan at this stage assuming he has a long enough career in the playoffs.
Is it possible for LeBron to reach #1 if he wins 8 rings ?
Has to be Wilt! All those rebounds and 10,000 women!
Wilt played for the Spurs?![]()
Once the 1966 Texas Western team won a championship and all NBA teams started drafting black players which led to a league that wasn't predominantly white, the Celtics' dynasty ended, and Wilt stopped averaging 20+ PPG. Coincidence? I think notThe way that timeline matches up perfectly is further proof those two are the most overrated players in NBA history.
I think Russel is ridiculously overrated too...but you are aware that after 1966 the Celtics won 2 of the next 3 les right? And that Wilt won 2 more les after that and got to the Finals (I Believe, in not sure if they made it in 68, and I THINK they made the finals in 71) 5 of the next 6 years, right?
I was too lazy to actually check, I just wanted a butt hurt response.

fail by me, the one stat I did check when I posted that I was looking at the wrong stat
lol tried to hard to troll
If I was healthy, these records would go to .
Oden isn't gray anymore..
A better indicator is TR%... or total rebounds a player will grab as a percentage of overall misses. Using raw numbers like this guy, makes Wilt's and Russell's numbers heavily inflated.
1. Dwight Howard - 22.43%
2. Wilt Chamberlain - 21.08%
3. Dennis Rodman - 20.50%
4. Moses Malone - 19.41%
5. Carlos Boozer - 19.13%
10. Tim Duncan - 18.22%
13. Shaquille O'Neal - 18.01%
Cant find Bill Russell on the list....
But of course... longevity should count for something so the OP's list is still a good one to look at.
Russell isn't on the list because the TR% stat doesn't take any season before 1970-1971 into account. Russell retired in 1969.
Not looking at stats, I say Dennis Rodman. The guy's 6-6, yet he's number 3 in that list. Never seen anyone rebounding like him...
