Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry is good at a lot of things. He’s always been a very good playmaker. He then successfully transformed himself into a knockdown 3-point shooter later in his career. He’s also a sneakily-great rebounder at the point guard position.
In fact, Kyle Lowry is having a historically great rebounding season and has already broken an impressive record for a player of his size.
Kyle Lowry just made NBA history. He's the first player listed under 6-foot-1 to ever grab 10 or more rebounds 7 times in a single season (and he still has 58 games to add to his new record).

The Raptors All-Star is currently averaging 6.5 rebounds through 24 games this season, which would shatter his previous career mark of 4.8 rebounds per game he set last year. More impressively, though, he’s been doing it in four fewer minutes per game as his total rebounding rate has skyrocketed up to 11.5 percent.
For what Kyle Lowry has lacked in height over his career, he’s made up for it with girth, strength, and tenacity, which have made him such a strong rebounder through the years.
However, it’s incredible to see him take his rebounding to a completely different level this year. For him to break a season-long record just over a quarter into the campaign is an unbelievable feat. He fully deserves the record, and at the rate he's going, it'll be his for a long time to come.
