  • Hereโ€™s a list of NBA players with the most playoff rebounds.
  • Bill Russell leads with 4,104.
  • LeBron James is the only active player in the top-10 list.

NBA odds are way more exciting when paired with props or a bet that is not directly limited to the outcome of a game. Aside from points, rebounds are among the most popular statistical categories fans are betting on in BetMGMโ€™s online sportsbook, especially if the target number is being hit.

The excitement about this type of online betting is being elevated during the NBA playoffs as teams and players are at their highest competitive level. Throughout the postseason history, weโ€™ve witnessed incredible rebounding performances from superstars, which greatly helped their teams win games and even championships.

Itโ€™s no surprise that most of the players in the top-10 list who grabbed the most rebounds in the postseason feature the big men in the paint. Their combination of height, athleticism and timing have made them leaders in this category. 11-time NBA Champion Bill Russell leads the list with 4,104 career playoff rebounds. The Celtics legend accumulated this number in 165 games.

Second on the list is Wilt Chamberlain, who, despite having the fewest games played at 160, still managed to rack up 3,913 rebounds. This feat is strong proof that Chamberlain is not just a dominant scorer but also a monster rebounder. Following Russell and Chamberlain on the list are Tim Duncan, Shaquille Oโ€™Neal, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Duncan, who played the entirety of his career with the San Antonio Spurs, had 2,859 rebounds, while Oโ€™Neal and Abdul-Jabbar corralled 2,508 and 2,481 rebounds, respectively. Rounding out the top-10 list are LeBron James (2,391), Karl Malone (2,062), Wes Unseld (1,777), Robert Parish (1,765), and Elgin Baylor (1,724).
