this peaked my interest. Kiki Vandeweghe is the all-time (well.. since 83-84) leader in being a forward, yet not grabbing a single rebound. there have been six games where a forward or center played at least 44 minutes and didn't record even one rebound. Kiki has four of those:

Pat Garrity and Clifford Robinson are the first power forwards to appear at 42 minutes w/out a rebound. Brad Sellers seems to be the first 7-footer at 37 minutes. John Amaechi is the first guy I consider a real center at 34 (though guys like Sam Perkins and Sellers himself were pretty huge but.. that's the 80s for you, they were power forwards back then).
