Artis Gilmore (1972-1988)
Also called the “A-Train,” Artis Gilmore made history as the best rebounder to join college basketball. He was also an ABA legend until the NBA swallowed it up in 1976. He was a true high-percentage shooter. As a matter of fact, he was the all-time leader of the league in this aspect by the time he retired. He sank almost 60 percent of his shots during the course of his career! He had an average of 18.8 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. The Hall of Famer also appeared in 11 All-Star seasons, got picked for the All-Defensive first team, and was once named MVP. As you can imagine, he could score many buckets and prevent the rival players from doing much on the court. What a beast!
