NEW YORK – Tina Charles broke two career records Thursday night: She passed Sylvia Fowles to become the WNBA’s all-time leading rebounder with 4,007 rebounds. She later passed Fowles with her 194th career double-double.

Needing three rebounds to start the game, Charles quickly grabbed them in the first quarter of the Atlanta Dream’s game against the New York Liberty. She broke Fowles’ mark with an offensive tap out that eventually led to a basket 3:52 into the game.

Charles completed her record-breaking double-double when she grabbed her 10th rebound of the night with 5:04 left in the third quarter.

The 35-year-old star began his career in Connecticut before being traded to New York before the 2014 season. The Liberty honored Charles with a video tribute at the end of the first quarter. She waved and pointed to the crowd.

Charles also played in Washington, Phoenix and Seattle before signing with Atlanta this year after sitting out last season.

Charles averaged 9.3 rebounds during her 14-year career.

Charles, a New York native, was honored before the game by being inducted into the city’s Basketball Hall of Fame along with nine other former players and coaches. Her Dream teammates were on the court cheering her on as she was announced.

Charles is the only WNBA player to have 7,000 points and 4,000 rebounds in her career. She is second on the career scoring list, behind only Diana Taurasi.
