We meet again, young jedi.

"I've said in past challenges that he was he greatest scorer in NBA history my challenger disagreed but the facts dont lie."

Chamberlain, 30.1ppg

MJ, 30.1ppg

It can be argued either way but that is history.

On to this topic!!!! When I think of this topic? 2 people come to mind immediately.

Elgin Baylor. The man was an absolute beast on the boards at 6-5 and he managed to average 13.5 rpg during his career with highs of 19.8 and 18.6.

The 2nd that comes to mind and my choice is Dennis Rodman.

Rodman was 6-7 and 210 pounds. He was undersized for the PF position but the man had a passion for boxing out and finding the ball after somebody missed a shot.

He led the League in rebounds per game from 1991-92 to 1997-98.


BRING IT!!!!!

Wilt was 7-1 and 275 pounds.

He played against players like: 6-8 Jim Krebs, 6-9 Red Kerr, 6-6 Willie Naulls, 6-5 Johnny Green, 6-9 Ray Scott, 6-8 Wayne Embry, 6-9 Bill Russell, 6-9 Bob Pettit and 6-11 Walt Bellamy.

He played against a LOT OF players that were smaller than him.

Rodman (using his 1996-97 season) played against 6-9 Karl Malone, 6-10 Shawn Kemp,
6-10 Rasheed Wallace, 6-11 Kevin Garnett, 6-10 Danny Manning, 6-10 Joe Smith, 6-11 Christian Laettner, 6-9 Otis Thorpe, 6-9 Loy Vaught, 6-9 Antonio McDyess, 6-9 Shareef Abdur Rahim, 6-11 Dale Davis, 6-11 Vin Baker, 6-11 Marcus Camby, 6-11 PJ Brown, 6-8 Charles Oakley, 6-10 Horace Grant, 6-10 Chris Webber, 6-10 Jayson Williams, 6-10 Derrick Coleman,

At 6-7 Rodman was usually one of the shorter post players going after rebounds while Wilt dominated against inferior competition.

RODMAN GUARDED SHAQ!!!! 7-1 and 320 pounds. That is how much height and weight he was giving up sometimes.

His stats are no match? Well, lets see back when Wilt played there were like 20 more possessions per game, LEADING TO MORE MISSED SHOTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR REBOUNDS.

Like when we argued Wilt vs MJ.

I picked out the centers in Wilt's 50ppg season!!!!

God, you are slow.

Rodman would have been just as good at rebounding back when Wilt played. He was 6-7 but he was quick and excellent at boxing players out. He would have posted Wilt-type numbers easily because there were around 20 more possessions per game.

More missed shots equals more rebounds to garner.

"Just like in todays game the league has a few good big men but the game is mostly dominated by 6-7 and under players like the in 60's West, Cousy, Baylor, Big "O",
Hondo, the Jones boys from Boston and a lot of hustling get after it players."

Lose track of the topic of the TD? It is rebounding.

Kevin Love averaged 15.2rpg this past season. Last I checked he is 6-10.

Howard averaged 4.1rpg. He hasn't shrunk much. He is still 6-11, if not 7 feet.

Zach Randolph averaged 12.2. He is 6-9.

Blake Griffin averaged 12.1rpg. He is 6-10.

Kris Humphries averaged 10.4rpg. He is 6-9.

Rodman was just average? LOL. Thanks, it is early. I needed that.

CAKE AND BOOBIES

ALA MODE!!!!!!!!
