Robert Parish (1976-1997)

Can you believe that Robert Parish played 1,611 NBA games from 1977 until 1997? He is also in the top 10 list in blocks and rebounds, but his per-game statistics do not compare to the others on the list. He played for 4 franchises but is best known for his time with the Boston Celtics. He ended up winning three rings in the ‘80s with them and one with the Bulls. He was a 9-time All-Star pick on top of that.

Dwight Howard (2005-Present)

Dwight Howard has the sort of numbers that nearly guarantee him a Hall of Fame spot. This three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year has an average of 12.7 defensive rebounds per 48 minutes played. However, per-game stats show that he averages 12.6 total rebounds per game. A reliable scorer, he sank 58.3% of his shots per 48 minutes played. This is even better than Shaq’s own average!
