#7 Karl Malone

<p>
Karl Malone has the second most defensive rebounds of all-time in the NBA

Karl Malone's 36,928 points are 2nd on the all-time scoring list of the NBA. And THAT is what usually takes the spotlight away from his rebounding finesse. Built like a tank (6 ft 9 in tall & weighing 250 lb), 'The Mailman' was the opposition's nightmare in the paint as he would ram his way through the defence with no regard for human life on a daily basis every night.

He pulled down 14,968 rebounds in total while playing for the Jazz (18 seasons) and the Lakers (1 season) during his career. 11,406 defensive rebounds for his team landed him the 2nd spot on the all-time defensive rebounding list.

Being named in the All-NBA First Team 11 times during his time in the league, Karl was also a member of the NBA's All-defensive first team for three years in a row(1997-99). His supremacy on both ends of the floor has been argued to be the greatest of all time.
