With a third quarter rebound in the Hornets’ season-ending game against the Pacers on Tuesday night, Dwight Howard passed Shaquille O’Neal to move into 14th place on the NBA’s all-time rebounding list.

Dwight’s 13,100th board leapfrogged him over The Big Aristotle. While it has been a disappointing season for the Hornets, who some thought would make the playoffs, Dwight has played pretty well and has eclipsed 80 games played for the first time since the 2009-10 season. The lucrative contract he is signed to through next season doesn’t look so bad for Charlotte anymore.
