Video: Tina Charles Breaks Sylvia Fowles' WNBA Rebounding, Double-Double Records

Tina Charles stands alone as the greatest rebounder in WNBA history.

The Atlanta Dream star pulled in her 4,007th rebound on Thursday, passing Sylvia Fowles as the WNBA's all-time leading rebounder.

Later in the game, she passed Fowles with her 194th career double-double:

Charles, a 14-year veteran, has averaged 9.3 rebounds per game across her career and is averaging 9.6 this season. The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft averaged double-digit rebounds for the first four seasons of her career.

Fowles, who retired in 2022, put up 9.8 boards per game across her 15-year career, reaching the 4,006-rebound mark in 408 games.

Charles was drafted by the Connecticut Sun after a historic career at UConn and played for the Sun from 2010 until 2013. During her time in Connecticut, she won Rookie of the Year in 2010 and an MVP in 2012. She joined the New York Liberty in 2014 and played there until 2019. She played for the Washington Mystics, Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm across the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

After not being signed to a team in 2023, Charles landed with Dream ahead of the 2024 season and has had a resurgence in the late stages of her career, averaging 15 points and 9.6 boards per game this year.
