Duh. So you believe Rodman didn't develop as a player, you say, and he didn't improve his rebounding? Plus, Rodmans role was switched from SF to PF later, and that matches the point in time when he started outrebounding everyone. Rodman is simply head and shoulders above anyone else in rebounding dominance during the 90es, way more than for example Jordan was in scoring dominance. That his raw numbers don't match the crazily inflated stats of the early day heroes like Wilt doesn't mean much; he grabbed an incredibly higher percentage of rebounds than anyone else when he was on the court during his Spurs and Bulls days, way more, as a percentage of missed shots, than anyone else in the history of the sport , ever. That's the greatest rebounder to me. But I can make the case only half as well as the series of articles, so go ahead and read them instead of being embarassed for others without knowing what that other person is even referring to.

Really nice posts man, finally someone who have some knowledge about advanced stats.

Chase also forgets how much time need those kind of players to find there niche on the NBA, but i have a great recent example for him. Ben Wallace.

RODMAN WAS NOT THE GREATEST REBOUNDER.

RODMANS ONLY JOB WAS TO REBOUND!

There are better rebounders in the 90's but they never were able to exclusively focus their efforts to just one aspect of the game. Better rebounders Malone, Barkley, Hakeem, Admiral were all better rebounders.

But could they have done it in the same condition as Rodman? All nighters in Vegas then to the Finals for a 30 rebound night.

Laimbeer was alot of things to the Pistons in the Bad Boy days, but throw a ball at the back board & ask Laimbeer & Rodman to go get it & 9 times out of 10 Rodman's coming down with it, regardless where he's high of not ;)

Can we re-name this thread to "let's argue about Dennis Rodman"?

It would help it from looking like the last 20 posts were off-topic.

Based on what? Name me one player who won more times the rebound title on his era, and start from the time that the 24 sec installed...

RODMANS ONLY JOB WAS TO REBOUND!


Wrong. By the time that he was the best rebounder, was the best defender too, and one of the greatest ever on that aspect. He could guard from the Isaiah Thomas to behemoths like Shaq...

He always had/has his antics, but lets not underrate what he had done on the court because of them...

I suggest all the managers who're involved in this rebounding etc nonsense go somewhere and make a new thread where you can discuss, fight, etc among yourselves.
Let's not go off topic.

i wished i had searched the transfer list two seasons ago and seen the english draftee that had my name in real life!

his potential/salary wasnt great but it would have been good enough for my new team at the time!!
