The 'NBA rebound leaders' quiz

Created on February 4, 2026 | Total tries: 144 | Average Score: 20.2 out of 30 (67%) | Quiz FAQ

The Boston Celtics have weathered the storm so far without Jason Tatum, sitting 32-18 and fourth-place in the Eastern Conference.

But with the trade deadline looming, the Celtics have acquired veteran center Nikola Vucevic from the Chicago Bulls for Anfernee Simons. The 15 year veteran is averaging 16.9 points-per-game this year, and his 9 rebounds-per-game are more than any player on a Boston roster that has started Neemias Queta 46 times at center this season.

The move should also make Vucevic happy, as the 35 year old is all but guaranteed to make the postseason for just the fifth time in his career and for the first time with a true contender.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Vucevic has been a reliable rebounder for his entire career, ranking 22nd in total rebounds since the NBA/ABA merger with 10,601. With that being said, can you name the NBA’s leading rebounders since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77?

Good luck!
