25. Michael Cage
Before we talk about the on the court accomplishments of Michael Cage, I absolutely love the fact that his two nicknames are “John Shaft” and the “Windexman”.

Seriously, it doesn’t get much cooler than that.

The best season of Cage’s career actually took place the season before with the Los Angeles Clippers where he won his lone rebounding title, but Cage still was a tenacious rebounder in his six seasons in Seattle with an 8.1 RPG during his tenure there and still finished in the top ten in that metric in his first two seasons there.
