NBA: Players with the Most Rebounds in the Postseason
Bill Russell Grabs a Rebound in the 1957 Playoffs
Bill Russell strikes again. On the way to 11 rings with the Boston Celtics, Russell snatched over 4,000 postseason rebounds, the only NBAer to post such a number.
Russell’s longtime Laker adversary, Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain, just missed the mark.
Then, it’s quite a drop off – like over 1,000 less rebounds – before catching up with good ol’ Shaquille O’Neal in third.
There are some definite surprises in here. Check out Larry Bird in 10th, not far from the much taller (7’0″) center Robert Parish. And how about Magic Johnson making the list.
And what’s this? Charles Oakley with more playoff rebounds than Patrick Ewing? Who would’ve thunk?
