without using google, who was the first basketball to score 1000 rebounds in a single season?

Well that's like 12+/game and they shot a lot of bricks back in the day so it could be someone like George Mikan. But when Russell and Chamberlain came in they rewrote the record books and would each average something ridiculous like 18-20 rebounds/game. So my guess is Russell (he got to the NBA first) with some concern it will be Mikan or someone obscure.
