Some key points:

Dennis Rodman has dominated Rebounding Percentage more than anyone has dominated any major stat.

Before Rodman, we should have expected a rebounder of that quality to appear about once every 400 years.

Contrary to popular opinion, Rodman was a much better rebounder than Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell, and it’s not close

Individual rebounding percentage has a more causative effect on team rebounding percentage than individual PPG does on team PPG.

Despite claims that he was exclusively a defensive player, Rodman’s teams played significantly better on offense with him in the lineup, even after accounting for his offense rebounding

[Rodman's] Win% differential is #1 of the 470 players who qualified for the study—by a wide margin

Everyone uses statistics, yet no one listens to statisticians—in part because statisticians build overreaching models, then believe and defend them

I wouldn't argue that Rodman is extremely impactful and possibly the greatest rebounder of all time, but I'm not sure where he got the TRB% for Wilt/Russell? I didn't think we had that data? Probably just used some sort of estimate I guess.

Nance is one of the most athletic sky walkers to play in the NBA and is the original slamdunk champion taking down Dr. J. Nance was a good two way player using his length and athletic ability to block 2.2 shots a game for his career. Nance also had a nice midrange game with some ability to hit 3's


3× NBA All-Star (1985, 1989, 1993)
NBA All-Defensive First Team (1989)
2× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (1992–1993)
NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion (1984)
No. 22 Retired by the Cleveland Cavaliers

Read the article if you have questions. :) Really interesting read.

Alright, I'm willing to move up to highly probably. But I'm just saying the numbers he's using to compare Rodman to Wilt/Russell aren't actual stats, he estimated them.
 
Announcer: "Michael Jordan, by the way, has missed his last 5 shots..."

What other player could guard both Shaq and Jordan?

I'm sure Jordan missed 5 straight shots many times in his career. I agree though that Rodman is a beast.
