There are great National Basketball Association career rebounding leaders like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley & Dennis Rodman just to name a few.

It is said that Wilt Chamberlain is the undisputed king of the rebounds. A rebound is a statistics awarded to a player who retrieves the ball after a missed field goal or free throw.

A rebound player tips in a missed shot on his team’s offensive end. A rebound can be grabbed by either an offensive player or a defensive player. Rebounds are credited after any missed shot, including air balls which totally misses the basket and board. If a player takes a shot and misses and the ball bounces on the ground before someone picks it up, then the person who picks up the ball is credited for a rebound.

Great rebounders tend to be tall and strong. Some shorter guards can be excellent rebounders as well. I’m Gail Nobles and you’re listening to EPS.
