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?

NCAA: College Basketball’s All-Time Career Leaders – Points, Assists, Steals and More
Lester Hudson Has the Only Quadruple-Double in NCAA Basketball History
These are the career leaders, in the primary statistical categories, for NCAA Division I college basketball – regular season.
Pete Maravich is the all-time offensive king. He has the most points in college basketball history, a record that may never be broken (all in three years and with 10 games over 50 points to boot).
But there are a few more-modern players on the list – modern meaning they’re playing in the NBA right now: Tim Duncan (Spurs), J.J. Redick (Magic), Tyler Hansbrough (Pacers), Jarvis Varnado (Heat) – and – check this out – Lester Hudson was just signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 10-day contract. Hudson is the only player in college basketball history to record a quadruple-double.
Now, an important reminder – a few of these statistics have not been recorded since the beginnings of the sport. For example, assists, blocked shots, steals and three-pointers weren’t tallied until the mid-1980′s. Take a look at my source, the NCAA basketball record book, for the facts, and for a lot more, too.
