Havilcek.

Active is Kidd.

I assume you're talking about totals. Not rebounding %.

Looking at that list, it raises the question: Does Dwight Howard have a legit chance at owning the NBA's rebounding record? The Record is 23,924 held by Wilt Chamberlain, and Dwight Howard is only 23 years old and already has 5,107 for his career.

Its feasible, but Howard has 5 seasons under his belt. At this pace, he would need to play into his forties. Can't see him being the all-time guard rebounder either.

Howard has only missed three games in his entire career. Assuming he did the impossible and missed only four games per season, while keeping up his 14 rebound per game pace, he'd still have to play 17 more seasons. Then he'd have to play 19 more games at 14 rebounds per game.

And would destroy Robert Parish's games played record by playing 1752 games.

Not impossible. But almost.
