Dennis Rodman...he plays with a hell of intensity the whole game! much more if the game's on the line...and there is a reason why MJ and the others are confident enought to shoot...coz they know the Worm would be there
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DajuanWagner#2:</div><div class="quote_post">There was no 3-secondsfield there then, if Shaq, Ben Wallace [and Kevin Garnett] or any other center today had been in NBA at the time with out 3-secondsfield, they could easily averrage the same at rebounds!</div> Do you know the three-second rule? The three-second rule means that you cannot stand there with nobody near you. If someone is near you or you are guarding them then you can sit in the paint all day long. Since most teams put a post player on the low or high block basically the whole game, he can sit in the paint and act as if he is guarding that person. Then when a shot goes up, he is still able to judge it and get in the right spot for the rebound before anyone gets to it. Even if he wasn't in the paint, he would always be the closest player to the basket on defense most likely. Its called help-side defense, something a lot or NBA teams should start doing. The scary thing is it acually works
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Henacy:</div><div class="quote_post">All-time- Dennis Rodman or Moses Malone Currently- KG or Ben Wallace</div> I was just about to post practically that exact same thing, just replace Malone with Chamberlain. That guy was huge, he's the stilt! I'm sure in any crucial game when he needed to get the rebound, he would get it. Of course I never saw him play so i don't actually know. That's why Big Ben is my other pick. He rarely let's me down, especially at the end of close games.
I gotta go with Dennis Rodman. The man was so tenacious and hungered for the ball. He boxed out amazingly. I had the pleasure of watching many games of him and I loved the guy. I choose him.
This may seem stupid, but I am going to say Vince Carter. I've seen almost all of TO's games this year, and he has always gotten big boards at the end of the games. Another one I'd say is Elton Brand. He works so hard for each rebound. The Stilt is probably the best rebounder though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Dwayne Wade:</div><div class="quote_post">This may seem stupid</div> It does. But, you are entitled an opinion.
no questions, Wilt. he was basically a Kevin Garnett the size of Shaq in terms of athleticism and size. so yea, he could box anyone out, and outjump anyone. if you can do both those things, whos gonna get your rebound *cuz if your that good its YOUR rebound* from you? and right now, id have to say KG. he can outjump anyone in the league right now.

I'm gonna go old school and pick Wilt The Stilt. but im gonna be original and go with someone new....ron artest. he is such and animal and is so agressive that i think he could also be the man for the job.
Definitely Wilt Chamberlain. I don't care how different the league was back then. AVERAGING over 20 boards a game is insane.
