Answer: Bob Sura

Sura (who played from 1995-2005) had his triple double revoked when the NBA ruled that his purposefully missed lay-up that resulted in his 10th rebound, did not count as a field goal attempt since he had no intent on making the basket. Therefor, he never actually rebounded the ball.
