Bill Russell amassed a career total of 21,620 rebounds, averaging a ludicrous 22.5 rebounds per game. Russell was the pinnacle to the Boston Celtics dynasty in the 1960s. He has almost every rebounding record in the games history. This rebounding machine in one game had 51 rebounds, and 49 two other times. Russell was five time NBA MVP, a twelve time All-Star, and eleven time NBA champion.
