	Another great quiz Ben. That's tougher than I thought it would be. Some fairly mediocre players on that list (13,017 and 11,901).

	I thought Mutombo just signed to play again with the Rockets.

	Kicking222:	Jan 6th, 2009 at 18:49 GMT	4 points
	Neil beat me to it- I was going to say, Mount Mutombo needs an asterisk. Also, I love the write-up on the front page about Martin Lawrence.

	I missed Silas, Mutombo, and Bellamy. Parts of this list are very suprising. I would have guessed that Rodman was higher on this list. Thats all he did was rebound. Led the league almost every year. Its not like he didn't get enough PT. Notably absent: Willis Reed, Kevin McHale, Bill Walton, and mostly David Robinson. McHale and Walton were both injury plagued, but I can't believe Robinson isn't on here. He was such an enigma. Without question the mostly physically gifted/most athletic 5 of his generation. Just never had that cut-your-throat competative mentality and I think that shows here. Wasn't until Duncan came along that he got a ring. As much as everyone makes fun of Patrick Ewing he got much more out of his abilites than Robinson ever did. I am a David Robinson fan, too. Class act. Great guy. Just never seemed to LOVE playing and winning. Definitely not like the Jordans, Birds, Magics, Russells, etc. of the world.

	i take it aba stats don't count?

	In about 10 years Dwight Howard will be at the top of that list!

	Sneuticles:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 02:09 GMT	1 point
	21/25, love love love this quiz. Typed in Robinson and Walton twice -- in shock they aren't on this list. I tried Clyde Drexler and Kevin Duckworth from the 1990-92 Blazers, then lucked into Buck Williams at the end when I started typing in common last names.

	rumour has it that Wilt Chamberlain slept a number of women equal to his rebounding total

	TannerNation:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 11:21 GMT	3 points
	http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/willibu01.html Scroll down to the bottom of this page. Buck Williams wasn't mediocre. I think he'll probably just miss eventually making the HoF.

	Camden, couldn't agree more about the Admiral. Class act. (And I HATE the Spurs) Lotta unsung heroes on this list. Loved Oakley and missed him. Surprised Zo's not here though. And I guess McHale suffered because the Chief was doing such a good job cleaning the glass. Too early to tell about Dwight Howard. One has to average 10 boards a game over 13 years (and play in almost every game) to get on to this list...

Howard will be in there believe that, unless he suffers a devestating injury , he will be on the top 5 of this list, he is averaging close to 13 rpg in his career ..that is bannanas

	I am surprised that Mark Eaton was one of the best blockers ever and didnt even made this rebounding list

	beckleyman:	Jan 12th, 2009 at 04:55 GMT	3 points
	Charles Barkley was an enigma. He was about 6'4 but could rebound and play in the post with the best of them. A bit mouthy, but a great player.

	Can we get an NBA assist leaders quiz?

	Arthur:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 02:16 GMT	2 points
	Mutombo should have an asterisk, he is signed to the Rockets. Great game though.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 05:47 GMT	2 points
	Eaton didn't play that long. He was a good rebounder but not close to the all-time leaders.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 05:51 GMT	1 point
	Howard is no sure thing at all to make the top 5. Shaq has played a long time and isn't close. 13 RPG is great now but was not that amazing in the '60s. There are fewer shots and rebounds these days. If he lasts a long time he could make it, but who knows what shape he'll be in when he's 30+.

	its hard to guess some not familiar players to me.i think mutombo is still playing this season.

	pbrown:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 18:37 GMT	1 point
	Wilt Chamberlain is the MAN!

	mininimi:	Apr 25th, 2009 at 16:18 GMT	1 point
	well now he officialy retired after getting injured during the playoffs

	drn211:	Apr 30th, 2009 at 17:10 GMT	1 point
	@Camden Along with Walton and McHale Reed was also injury plagued. Robinson just missed the list as he has 10,497 boards

	Michael:	May 22nd, 2009 at 02:22 GMT	3 points
	Chamberlain and Russell set the standard and nobody will ever touch them.

	Haunter:	Jun 10th, 2009 at 05:31 GMT	1 point
	No Robinson and no Mourning...thought they had a shot.

	Zeppelin1985:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 11:26 GMT	1 point
	Finally get to the list with all the big men. I totally forgot about Garnett...

	omnipotent1:	Aug 29th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	1 point
	beckleyman, Barkely was 6'6". Another player who was 6'6" is Dennis Rodman. Goes to show you, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog- or however it may go. :)

	Only 21/25, figured I'd do better. Missed Schayes, Willis, Williams, and Silas

	drpickem:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 06:16 GMT	1 point
	Robinson missed two prime years at the start of his career because he was in the Navy, otherwise, he'd be a lock for this list. And fellow Spur Tim Duncan will probably be on this list soon as well.

	Sugarbearquizzer:	May 2nd, 2010 at 20:22 GMT	1 point
	Duncan should be on this list 11,335 he's ahead of Schayes

	foobar:	May 18th, 2010 at 13:53 GMT	3 points
	I see Duncan made the list, but he needs an asterisk since he's active.

	ballay05:	Mar 2nd, 2011 at 01:55 GMT	1 point
	I had no idea Williams, Silas and Oakley pulled down that many rebounds. I am ashamed.
