    Has any player of Lillard's height (6'3) ever recorded 18 rebounds in a single game? I can't recall it ever happening before. Anyone else know?

    Hmm. The ESPN guys were saying last night that Lillard can't really be 6'3, so he may in fact be the shortest player in NBA history to ever get 18 rebounds.

    Could be. At the combine, he measured 6'1.75" barefoot, 6'2.75" in shoes. Have no idea what Lever's barefoot height is. Better bring him in and have them stand back to back.

    Fat Lever is one of the most underrated players in the history of the league as far as talent goes:

    The ESPN guys are also idiots, but either way, the 18 rebounds was incredibly impressive.

    Fat Lever was damn good, but there were a lot of stats to go around in those 158 point games.

    Wheels said Jason Kidd had 19 in a game, I think it was 2007 but could be mistaken and Dame is a bit smaller than Kidd but not that much

    D'antoni is going to make Will Barton a star if he coaches the Nuggets

    The first link in my first post in this thread lists all 18+ rebound games for guards. Kidd's 19 rebound game (which also had 11 points and 10 assists) is in there.

    now that he can hit a 3 pointer consistently I see the possibilities. if they commit to conditioning and the shoot before 7 seconds rule it could happen. Lawson fits too. they used to run teams out of the arena in Denver, taking advantage of the home court.

    Lillard is the smallest power forward in NBA history.

    6'4.5" barefoot, IIRC. Dame's 6'1.75" barefoot.
