For example I looked up Kenyon Martin today. I remember him being an all-star so I figured he must have had multiple 20/10 seasons. Turns out he never averaged more than 17 ppg and only got 10 rpg one season.
Muggsy Bogues surprised me positively. I thought he was just a role player like Early Boykins. Turns out he had several seasons averaging over 8 apg and a couple seasons averaging over 10 apg.
Rodman’s rebounding numbers still shock me.
Go back further to his college years and he averaged 25.7 pts and only grabbed 5.7 rebounds per game over 3 years.
Drummond has a higher career rebounding rate per 10 possessions
Rodman was an SF for the first 5 years of his career
Speaking about rebounding, Danny Fortson is a practically forgotten undersized big who was a beast on the boards for a while.
He was a 6ft7 power forward, who would also play at center at times, that averaged 12 RPG (and 4 ORPG) in a season twice. Once with the Nuggets in the 1998-99 season and once with the Warriors in the 2001-02 season.
He constantly played on bad teams and only made the playoffs once in his later years with Seattle, but he was a terrific rebounder who isn’t talked about at all now.
I remember him having back to back 20 rebound games.
He got numbers but man he was a bad player lmao. I remember watching his in Golden State. He was one of those selfish empty stats me first type of players.
Damn. Couldn’t even tell you how many years since I’ve seen that name
18.5 rebounds per game over a 2 season stretch… What the actual fuck…
