In the NBA, players come and go, and occasionally an incredible player comes in. Although great players can be rare to find, there are even better players who eventually become known as legends. These legends include players like Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Kevin Durant. Legends are what make the sport as entertaining as it is and bring people to their feet during a game.

This helped him lead the NBA in rebounding during eleven of his fourteen years in the NBA. No NBA player even comes close to matching Wilt’s stats and no one ever
