Created on June 4, 2025 | Total tries: 691 | Average Score: 15.1 out of 31 (49%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 50th birthday to the legendary Lithuanian big man Zydrunas Ilgauskas!

Ilgausaks played in 13 NBA seasons, 12 of which were with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He ranks second all-time in rebounds (5,904) in Cavs history behind some guy named LeBron James and is first in franchise history blocks (1,269) in 771 career games. His No. 11 was retired by the Cavs in 2014 he was just the third European player to receive that honor in NBA history (Drazen Petrovic with Brooklyn and Vlade Divac with Sacramento).

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the 31 players in NBA history not born in the U.S. to record at least 6,000 rebounds can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
