San Antonio Spurs big man Tim Duncan reached another milestone Thursday, becoming the sixth player in NBA history to grab 15,000 rebounds during his team's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Duncan's milestone rebound came on the defensive end with six minutes, 56 seconds remaining in the first quarter after Mike Dunleavy Jr. missed a jump shot.
This was Duncan's second major achievement in as many weeks. He became the fifth player in the history of the league to record 3,000 career blocks Feb. 27, and he continues to rise up that leaderboard.
Entering Thursday's game, Duncan already ranked third in all-time defensive rebounds with 11,168, trailing Karl Malone by only 238. He also ranked 10th in all-time offensive rebounds.
Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago took note of Duncan's achievement as well as his other skills around the rim:
