The players in the picture are Bob Pettit, Karl Malone, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. They each have been selected as one of the NBA's All-time Top 75. Also, all three have been an all-star on multiple occassions, as well as NBA MVP. The title's question is far from a "gimme". Before continuing to read on, make a mental selection, and then let's see how close you were.
1) Bob Pettit (6'9") - 792 games & 16.2 rpg
2) Karl Malone (6'9) - 1476 games & 10.1 rpg
3) Giannis Antetokounmpo (7'0") - 656 games & 9.4 rpg
How many of you looked at the three choices and mentally selected Bob Pettit? Those that did also knew that it wasnt even close. Bob Pettit has the third highest rebounds per game average in NBA history. He is behind only Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, who both incredibly averaged over 22 rebounds per game!!!
