Andre Drummond thinks he’s the greatest rebounder of all time. The roses are red… huh WHAT? Hey, the new CBA allows marijuana, but that’s no reason to put it in your Chocapic, dear Dede. We are certainly dealing here with a great specialist in the discipline, but let’s be serious for a few minutes.
It’s the Basketball World Cup, all eyes are on the international selections and inevitably, the NBA is – for just a few weeks – no longer the undisputed and indisputable capital of the orange planet. And so, some players take the opportunity to place a few live statements, perhaps hoping that they will go unnoticed and end up being acquired because they are not contested… or conversely, to get people talking, at the risk of looking like a fool. of the commune because of completely lunar remarks.
We won’t make a choice here, but Andre Drummond falls into one of these two categories. For the Bulls player, his career is the best a rebounder has ever had. He is therefore the best of all. And we will stop there to give the floor directly to the person concerned.
“I used to play over forty minutes, I was All-Star, All-NBA… best rebounder ever. I am the best rebounder in history. –Andre Drummond.
SO. Perhaps the stat presented in the podcast is an important point, since it indicates that Drummond is indeed a rebounding machine (nearly one in four possible rebounds caught while on the field, in his career). However, this does not call into question the legends of the discipline such as Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or even Dennis Rodman (respectively 24,000, 21,500, 17,500 and 12,000 career rebounds, Drummond is only barely 10000). Arms that long, swallowing bullets by the twenty every night. Rebounders who were devilishly more effective than Drummond.

In a sometimes entirely different era, of course. The idea is not to belittle this dear André, but to explain that beyond his person, others have deeply marked the game. Thanks in particular to the rebound. Which – however good a player he may be in this area – is not his case. We will have to come back with more solid arguments next time.
