Andre Drummond spoke on The Comfortable Pod podcast, calling himself the best rebounder ever and stressing that he deserves his place in the Hall of Fame. He told: "I was one of those guys who played 40-plus minutes. I was a star, I made the All-Star Game, I was named to the All-NBA team, all those things.
I'm a candidate for the Hall of Fame, and I'm the best rebounder ever. I've done great things in my career, in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm in the top-20 to get into the Hall of Fame, so I have a great chance of doing that."
