I remember reading that good statistical rebounders often benefit from playing on poor teams—especially offensive rebounds—because their teammates tend to miss more shots, giving them more opportunities to grab boards. You think that's true? I’ve even heard criticisms of Rodman, in particular, for focusing solely on rebounds while minimizing other aspects of the game. All the players listed above are all-time greats, but I’m curious if you can think of a stat, a way to normalize, or an interesting way to evaluate players whose numbers were inflated due to poor team play.
