"1962: Bill Russell - 30 points and 40 rebounds in Game 7 overtime win Game 7 in the '62 Finals went to overtime and, thanks to Bill Russell, the Celtics added another notch to their championship belt. The Celtics had already forced a Game 7 with a Game 6 win in L.A. two days before. In the final contest, Russell scored 30 points and grabbed an incredible 40 rebounds as the Celtics won their fourth of eight consecutive titles." http://www.nba.com/history/finals/greatest_finals_performances.html However, Wilt Chamberlin once pulled down 41 in a 1967 game against Boston.

It was Bill Russell, but back then there were multiple people that averaged 25+ rebounds a game, as there were more shots attempted and people shot lower percentages, hence there were many more rebounds to be had than there are nowadays. Jun 05 05, 5:56 PM
