    Howard passes Chamberlain as youngest to reach 5,000 rebounds

    Orlando center Dwight Howard became the youngest player in NBA history to get 5,000 career rebounds Monday night, when he grabbed his 11th of the game against the Miami Heat.

    Howard reached the mark at the age of 23 years, 112 days -- smashing the previous record held by Wilt Chamberlain, who was 25 years, 128 days old when he got his 5,000th rebound.

    Howard was already the youngest player in NBA history to reach the 1,000-, 2,000-, 3,000- and 4,000-rebound marks.

    In all fairness to Chamberlin, he started his professional career at the age of 23 (if you don't count the Globetrotters).

    Having said that, Howard, if he continues on his current trajectory, should be in the top five greatest centers of all time list by the time he retires.

    But he's still orders of magnitude behind Wilt. Break it down by number of games required to get to 5000 rebounds and you quickly prove that.

    Different eras. No way Wilt would average 20+ a game in today's league, even as center deprived as it is.

    Kareem
    Wilt
    Dream
    Shaq
    Moses

    He's gonna have to win multiple rings to do that. Definitely won't scratch the top 4, not good enough offensively.

    I'm not sure he makes the top 8.


    In no order:

    Kareem
    Wilt
    Shaq
    Dream
    Duncan
    Moses
    Robinson
    Ewing
    Karl Malone
    Andrew Bynum


    I made sure I bolded it so none of your guys' pussy starts to bleed.

    Until he gets a consistent jumper, Dwight isn't getting into the top 10.

    Until he has a desire to win, he won't go down as a great.

    Yeah, Dwight dominates until he faces Yao. At the same time, Yao gets outplayed by quicker 6'9" players who push him down low. Go figure.

    Maybe... I could see him at 5. Certainly no higher though; definitely not above Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, Olajuwon, or O'Neal.

    Wilt averaged over 27 rebounds per game his first two seasons, and it dipped to under 26 his third season as he was too busy increasing his scoring from 38 ppg to 50 ppg. He averaged 21 rebounds per 36 minutes his rookie year.

    Maybe Yao to Howard is what D-Will is to Paul.
