But I find it's extremely hard to compare those eras. Are we really saying Tim Duncan couldn't get those numbers back then?

I agree with this. Rodman had an uncanny knack for grabbing them but none can compare with Wilt's records. Malone was just a beast inside, impossible to move out of the lane.

Artis Gilmore (his ABA stats are always over looked), Wes Unseld and Rodman simply the best. His ability to always be in right spot and energy he spent trying to grab every board unmatched.

I take Wilts records with a grain of salt. I know everyone is tired of hearing the whole era argument but it's easy to grab 50 rebounds a game when you play every single minute of the game. On top of that he had 4+ inches on like every single person in the NBA, a huge vertical, 50+ lbs on everyone else and was wildly athletic. He could bench what like 500lbs?
Wilt was an athletic freak, he'd be a monster in the NBA today but wouldn't even push 25 rebounds a game.

@jc, I agree. Rebound pct. is probably the way to look at it to take into account available possessions. There were a bunch more possessions then but also no 3s, so the bigs would be there to clean up short rebound opportunities that fell off the rim right by the goal. I would say Russell's rebounding is still impressive. He wasn't as tall or big but had a knack for it and took pride in it to start the break.

Thank you for bringing some sense into this thread.
I'll add that any discussion of greatest rebounders ever that doesn't even mention Dennis Rodman's name is automatically null and void.

It's a skill that takes timing and being in the right place but also working extremely hard to be the best at. It makes sense Rodman would be the best or some other specialist vs. someone who is depended on to block shots and score 25 points a game too.

Russell took pride in using rebounds and block shots as a means to start a break and not a statistical component. He directed rebounds and blocks to his teammates instead of grabbing and holding. Russell should be referred to as the greatest rebounder ever since it was more of a chess move than a stat to him. Yes Rodman provided a great service and effort, but this aspect of his game had little game flow mastery involved. Two different eras, of course, but Russell accomplished more with missed shots than Rodman.

Area rebounder= Shot goes up, I block out my guy, if miss comes to me I get the rebound
Chase rebounder= Shot goes up, I read the shot and anticipate the miss and anticipate where it will land and chase everything down
Rodman did both---he was also a quick leaper if that makes sense and tireless. Rodman outworked and outefforted guys he played against.

Rebound Percentages as well as distinction between offensive and defensive rebounds were not recorded in Russell's and Chamberlain's times. I strongly believe that their percentages were better than Rodman's. Rodman is a phenomenal rebounder, definitely one of the greatest ever, but Wilt and Bill were just in a different stratosphere in rebounding, not to mention blocks, and quadruple doubles.

Keep in mind...those two were dominant centers..huge 7 footers (or damn near) playing against guys/a league far smaller. ...Rodman won 7 consecutive rebound titles against the like of a huge amount of top 50 ever centers/7footers....and he went in many times half arsed......

You might want to respectfully consider some of these guys and your years. Petit retired in 65. Thurman yes.....and RIP to him. But I still stand by my previous comments. Rodman as a 6-7 forward, was out rebounding some of the best centers of all time.....the majority of them in their prime. No disrespect to the players you named intended.

Wilt is the only center that was able to put Kareems skyhook back in his face.... I guess he was over rated too?

Wilt and Russell's heights were? How many seconds under the basket were these two allowed to hang out under the rim? I'd love to see Rodman under those rules and against the 60s era talent. Just as much as I'd love to see Wilt the Stilt play against today's guys.
And finally, not only was Rodman winning rebounding titles as an undersized forward usually guarding centers during the season.....he was also winning NBA titles while playing in the very physical era.

Nobody is saying that Wilt is overrated. He'd be a beast in today's NBA no question but wouldn't have nearly as gaudy numbers. You have to keep in mind that Wilt literally played every minute of every game so naturally he had more opportunities.
Lets compare the 2. Rodman was giving you ~18 boards in ~39MPG and Wilt was giving you ~25-26 in 48MPG so they're giving you nearly identical rebound per minute numbers now let's break it down by player.
You have Wilt, a 7'1 300lbs of muscle monster on the court. 3-4 inches taller than everyone else in the NBA and probably 50+lbs heavier. He could bully everyone else and grab every rebound that came within 10 feet of him. He was an anomaly in an era before advanced sports medicine and training. He would still dominate in today's NBA, no doubt.
One thing that nobody has mentioned yet is the fact that the defensive 3 second penalty wasn't implemented until Wilt's 9th season in the NBA. That's a major key (DJ Khalid agrees) in this argument. Wilt could literally setup a tent and camp in the paint and wait for rebounds.
Then we have Rodman, a 6'7 230-240lb dude with a ton of energy. Hardly fits the "Athletic freak" category. He didn't tower over other players and certainly didn't have a massive weight or strength advantage. Rodman showed us that successful rebounding is an art, it takes focus, timing, and dexterity not just pure height and muscle.
The fact that Rodman could put up "wilt-type" numbers under totally different circumstances is what really sets him apart from the rest.

I loved watching Dennis Rodman play. His biggest asset was how strong he was and his ability to out muscle his opponent, but Wilt Chamberlain was also strong.
Teams would do anything they could to stop Wilt. They would throw 300lb players on him just to try and push him out of the paint. The NBA was very physical back then, I'm not talking about hand checking or an elbow in his back to guard him either.
It didn't work...
Wilt would have dominated in any era-- period. Wilt chose to play 48 min. per, they didn't need him or even ask him to play those types of minutes he wanted those minutes. He was a physical specimen that I doubt the NBA will ever see again. He is the reason the 3 second rule was made, but also keep in mind the defense was also camping out 3-4 in the paint to guard him.
I would put Wilt #1 and The Worm at #2 and that goes for both sides of the court.

So you have 2 guys. One is a 7'1 300+lb athletic monster and the other is a 6'7 240ish regular dude who grab the same number of rebounds per minute but the 7'1 300lb guy is better because he had a rule made for him :confused::confused::confused:

But should height and weight be a consideration? It's not like basketball is played in height and weight classes, and unfortunately being taller/more athletic gives an advantage. If Wilt was a better rebounder (not necessarily saying he was) because he was taller, he was still the better rebounder.

So it's Wilt's fault that he was the best conditioned athlete and could play 48 minutes where Rodman was more interested in dressing as a woman and partying? I will take the guy who gets more rebounds by playing more minutes, he is unquestionably better.

Get back to me when you make sense.....Manute and Shawn were 7'footers. So was Eric Montross. And all three were CENTERS. Thanks for making my point. Rodman was a FORWARD and undersized...winning 7 record breaking consecutive titles... Thus pound for pound the greatest ever in my opinion. And you've got Rodman losing the 88' Finals? I didn't realize it was him against the Lakers. But since your flawed logic is there, he was two years into his career as a second round draft pick, not bad for a two year guy in the Finals....."costing his team the big win". :doh:

I missed where Rodman ever "won" a NBA title, but I remember him costing the Pistons the 1988 title.
Wilt 11 time rebounding champ, the two times he didn't, he was 2nd to Russell. Russell 5 time rebounding champ, 5 times 2nd to Wilt.
1996. Just ask George Karl.

Laugh all you want, but Jeff Foster was a beast on the offensive glass in the limited minutes he had. Glad to see him at 12th overall on that reb% list, but I bet he's maybe even top 5 if you broke it down and looked at just offensive rebounds.
... but yeah, Rodman was the GOAT rebounder no doubt-- especially if you consider the height factor. It's one thing to be great at rebounding because you're tall and athletic (Dwight), but it's another to be 6'8" and outsnaggin' everybody.

You'd be correct. He's 4th based on offensive rebound %
1. Dennis Rodman* 17.21
2. Moses Malone* 16.33
3. Larry Smith 15.80
4. Jeff Foster 15.24
5. Chris Dudley 15.15
6. Reggie Evans 15.03
7. Dale Davis 13.40
8. Nazr Mohammed 13.30
9. Paul Silas 13.16
10. Joakim Noah 13.12

I didn't even know Rodmans position on such a list. But, you guys get this outta here! When going to revert back to nonsense.....let's bring up Rodman in a dress! Maybe I should claim Wilts problem was sleeping with a claimed 10,000 women as my cheap attack against? :doh:

So it's Wilt's fault that he was the best conditioned athlete and could play 48 minutes where Rodman was more interested in dressing as a woman and partying? I will take the guy who gets more rebounds by playing more minutes, he is unquestionably better.
Whoa dude, are you saying that Rodman wasn't a supremely conditioned athlete? You must not be aware that he would frequently get on the exercise bike and do workouts after games.
"[Rodman] could probably play a 48-minute game and play the 48th minute stronger than the first minute of the game," Phil Jackson told the crowd at UND. "He was that terrific an athlete."
Rodman's off the court lifestyle has nothing to do with it.
