Best Rebounders In NBA History
Dennis Keith Rodman is an American retired professional basketball player who played for the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks in the National Basketball Association. The Worm was tenacious. He knew he couldn't shoot a ball to save his life so he makes up for it in his ruthless, aggressive, addiction to getting the ball back and giving it to his scorers. Dennis Rodman was beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the best defenders shot blockers and rebounders ever even with his shorter height. He was a lion
In the modern era Dennis played against 29 other teams. Wilt and Russell played against 8 teams. And also more talent, more athleticism during rodmans time and Shaq was playing duncan Hakeem I mean he played against so many great centers and he out rebounded them all
He was absolutely the best. He made rebounding an art form and made the Hall of Fame primarily on those skills alone. Traveling to North Korea? He means no harm. Rodman craves attention. Always has, always will.
He is number one because of his height as 6'7 and he grab ball with the 7footers guys. And hard work. To get the ball.. Wilt. Is to tall and also bill... That's why for me rodman is the first in the list
Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain was an American basketball player. He was born on August 21, 1936 in Philadelphia and died on October 12, 1999 in Los Angeles due to heart failure. ...read more. He's statistically the most prolific rebounder of all time, both on average (per game) and career total. He also holds the most rebounds in a single game record, and he set that record while playing against the second most prolific rebounder in history.
Sheer madness.
Wilt played against HOF centers every night, not in the post-expansion NBA where most centers were stiffs.
He played against the second-best rebounder ever [Bill Russell] over 130 times.
Wilt would eat Dennis Rodman for breakfast, and today's weak-sister centers like Noah or the Lopez brothers would simply run and hide when he walked on the court.
The NBA's current best rebounder is slow, white, unathletic 6-7 Kevin Love, how pathetic.
Wilt Chamberlain would chew up and spit out tiny pieces of Dennis Rodman.
Chamberlain set the NBA record of 55 rebounds in a game against possibly the best defender of all time, Bill Russell.
His average over his career is almost 23 per game, plus top 5 in scoring proves he did it on bolth sides of the court. Rodman did nothing on the offensive end, learn the game!

Come on guys, get real. Jerry Lucas outrebounded Walt Bellamy in college and in the pros and always. He was pound per pound the best rebounder ever. Look at his numbers per playing minutes and tell me why he is not 3rd to Chamberlain and Russell! He even outrebounded Russell for one entire year! If you want this list to have crediblity you need Jerry Lucas way up high or the list is messed up and NOT REAL!
