Dwight Howard - Youngest Player Ever To Reach 10,000 Rebounds

[Smook A.]

Well he hasnt actually reached 10,000 yet. As of February 10th, 2014 he's 37 away. He'll reach it after the all-star weeked.

Congrats, Dwight :applause:

Edit: Just found out he's 337 away not 37. One of the nba announcers said it wrong. Well... atleast he can still be one of the youngest

Career ending injury incoming.

Now it's Embiids turn

:applause: :applause: :applause:

Now it's Embiids turn
He's already 21....

[Smook A.]

Nice jinx thread.

Jinxes aren't real and screw you for saying that last part. Not cool bro

[no pun intended]

I'm pretty sure Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain was younger, but correct me if I'm wrong.

[Milbuck]

He's already 21....
I agree that Embiid probably won't do it, but he's still 19...

[Smook A.]

:applause: :applause: :applause:

Now it's Embiids turn
He's gonna have to do it in less than 9 years. Gonna be tough

[TheMarkMadsen]

Has nothing to do with Wilt & Russell entering the league at 22 & 22, Rodman entering the league at 25

[YouGotServed]

:applause: Nice.

They could've been the youngest if they came in earlier

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

I get on him alot but he still a top 25 center ever:applause:

[SCdac]

Definitely one of the best rebounders ever :applause:

Done some work for fantasy teams of mine here and there over the last 8 years (when I can absorb that FT%). On a side note, outside of some of the other players already mentioned (Wilt, Russell, Rodman, etc) have to wonder if David Robinson could have broken this 'record' had he not entered the NBA at 24 a couple years after being drafted. But even then, Dwight came into the league out of high school. Howard had his first 20 rebound game at 18 against the Raptors. Not a huge fan of his but his ability to gather rebounds is impressive no matter how you slice it, reminds me of Zo/Willis/Big Ben.

[Magic731]

Drummond will break this.

[TrueBlue89]

Best big in the League. Another night, another epic game. :applause:

[TheMarkMadsen]

They could've been the youngest if the NBA allowed HS kids to come out in Wilt & Russells day


fixed

that and they were required to play 4 years in college..

[CavaliersFTW]

Dwight is 28, Wilt was 28 when he hit 10,000 rebounds, anybody know how many 'days' apart this must be?

BTW, Wilt achieved 10,000 rebounds during his 6th NBA season. At the end of his 5th NBA season he had already amassed 9,875 rebounds.

Wilt had it easy in the 60s. If he was in this era he'd be averaging 14-16 rpg

[YouGotServed]

First the Lakers are replaced by the Rockets on national TV. Now this? Sad day for Laker fans. :oldlol:

So he'd still be better than Dwight. Got it.

I know that Howard hit 9,000 at 27 years and 130 days old and Wilt Chamberlain accomplished the same feat at the age of 27 and 144 days.

not only that but, Chamberlain came into the league at 23, Dwight came into the league at 19

[NumberSix]

Definitely one of the best rebounders ever :applause:
Maybe the best considering the disadvantage he has playing in the defensive 3 seconds era.

[YouGotServed]

What on earth are you talking about?

Wilt's era wasnt as competitive as this era. Put rodman in the 60s and he could possibly be a better rebounder

Come back to the Harden thread so we can own you some more :lol

[Deuce Bigalow]

Wilt reached 10000 rebounds on 11/10/1964

9875 after the 1963-64 season
125 his 6th game into the 1964-65 season on 11/10/1964

Age: 28 years, 2 months, 20 days (10,308 days)

[STATUTORY]

also only 6ft10 grown ass black man to ever reach over 9000 in estrogen count

:applause:

:cry: Your post is too long and boring. I don't feel like reading all of that. I'm in the 4th grade. That's too much for me.

[TrueBlue89]

Rockets are slowly heading for the 2nd seed since he's taken over the leadership role at Houston and they've gotten back their best players from injury.

They also have the longest winning streak in the NBA IRC. :applause:

[NumberSix]

The idea of you owning anybody on this board is like Steve Urkle bullying nerds.

[no pun intended]

125 6 games into the 1964-65 season
If this is true, then Dwight will beat him by 7 days if he does it on 2/20

[Black and White]

:lol keep trolling if it makes you feel better

[Deuce Bigalow]

How old was Wilt when he did it in years and days?

[CavaliersFTW]

If this is true, then Dwight will beat him by 7 days if he does it on 2/20
7 days difference, and that would be Dwight's 751st game.

In other words it took Dwight 354 more games (it took Wilt 397 games to hit 10,000) and a 4 year head start to beat Wilt when comparing by age to 10,000 rebounds.

Still, a record is a record even if it is just an age record so props to Dwight if he gets it :applause:

[no pun intended]

How old was Wilt when he did it in years and days?
If I calculated correctly using an age calculator...

Wilt was 10308 days old

whereas

Dwight will be 10301 days old

Ok

Dwight needs to do it in 17 days. Actually 16 for it to be his sole record, 17 to tie.

Congrats, Dwight :applause:

Who's the current record holder now?

And please Wilt fans don't come in and hijack the thread.. with 1000 word diatribes :lol

NVM found the answer

[Illuminati]

Wtf? Dwight currently has 9663 rebounds, including tonight's game (15).

Dwight won't get 337 rebounds in 16 days.

He would need to average 21rpg in that span. Not happening.

[CelticBaller]

And please Wilt fans don't come in and hijack the thread.. with 1000 word diatribes :lol

This needs to be a rule for every thread

[Illuminati]

Where did OP get 37 rebounds away? :biggums:

[juju151111]

7 days difference, and that would be Dwight's 751st game.

It's possible. He's the best player in the world right now.

[Illuminati]

It's possible. He's the best player in the world right now.

I guess it's possible, depending on who they play the next two weeks. But I'd say, chances are very slim.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Dwight needs 337 in the next 6 games

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Needs to average 51.2 RPG the next 6 games

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Wilt's record lives on

[gts]

Dwight needs 337 in the next 6 games

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I'm thinking it's going to be a little tough to pull that off.. He's good but 55 rebounds per game good? :lol

[Illuminati]

Forgot about the all-star break. :lol Wilt won.

[Smook A.]

Minnesota announcers are dumbasses. I was watching the game and the dude said by the end of February he will have 10,000 rebounds. Only 37 away

And my dumbass didn't look it up

Lol sorry y'all. My bad
