    Bill Russell’s rebound total in the Finals is absurdly higher than second place, which is Tim Duncan. That will never be beat.

      I love how the guys with the two highest playoff rebounding stat totals are also two of the players in NBA history who gave the fewest shits about what their own stats were.
