When you can run the break, finish with the best of them, and pass like a pg u can tell ur bigs to box out for your rebound. You'd rather have the bigger guys at the other side in position to score quicker anyway. Wilt the greatest rebounding machine ever would want Russ getting those boards, thats how Oscar and Kareem were so dominant
Everyone knew to get out of the way that game. Not only is he always the best rebounder on the team, his teammates knew how much he wanted this one against the team that just traded him.
Charles is so hard on himself about his last few years in a Rockets uniform (as many of the GREATS do). Reality is that he still averaged 20pts a game & was very effective 💪🏽
@@BluebirdfallingI'm pretty sure this is a career-high and he did it because it was his former team to show them what they traded away and lost and lied to
Rodman was one of the best ever with 7 consecutive rebounding titles, including 5 games with 30+ rebounds. Barkley is the best ever rebounder for his height (under 6'6) and could have been as great as Dennis, but Charles had to focus much of his game on scoring whereas Rodman didn't. Only Wilt had more rebounding titles with 11.
Chuck is higher than The Worm in total rebounds, despite having only 1 such title. www.espn.com/nba/history/leaders/_/stat/rebounds Dennis once had 49 rebounds go to with 0 points over 2 straight games.
