Best article you'll ever read on Rodman:
https://skepticalsports.com/the-case-for-dennis-rodman-guide/
It really makes you re-evaluate his value.
The numbers definitively prove that he was the best rebounder of all time.
To put Rodman's rebounding in perspective: his best rebounding season was 6 standard deviations higher than the average league leader. Not the average player. The average league leader.
To put that into further perspective: we all know how no one has ever come close to Stockton's ridiculous 15 APG, yes? Well, Stockton's best passing years are only slightly above 2 standard deviations above the average league leader. What does this mean? It means Rodman's dominance on the boards is 4 standard deviations higher than Stockton's dominance in assists compared to other league leaders.
No one has ever dominated one aspect of basketball the way Rodman dominated the boards.
And this stuff is just the tip of the iceberg of this article. Any "well what about THIS" type questions are very likely discussed in the article if you care enough to look.
