This is a look back on Nate Thurmonds Hall of Fame career. Nate Thurmond will be remembered for his defense first and foremost being almost perfectly made for basketball. Going down as one of the best defenders of all time. Utlizing his size, speed, strength, and IQ. Helping himself become a 7x all star and make 5 all defensive team. While also rebounding the ball at a high rate. Going down as one of the leagues best rebounders holding the record for most rebounds in a quarter. And being one of 5 players ever to average at least 15 rebounds per game for his career. One of five players in NBA history to average at least 20 rebounds per game during a season. One of four players in NBA history to record 40 or more rebounds in a game. Those weren’t the only record Thurmond holds as he became the first player in NBA history to record a quadruple double which only 3 other players have ever done. Despite all the accomplishment he slips the mind when people think of great bigs as he fell just short multiple times on winning an NBA title. But he will forever be remembered as one of the best players in the league with the Warriors and his everlasting impact on the Cavaliers organization being the spark for the Miracle of Richfield.
