Lets take a look at the different stages of Rodman's career.

Moses Malone was the NBA's dominant rebounder in the Pre-Rodman era. Well as you can see, his successor took the role of holding the Rebounding Championship Belt even more seriously. Jaw dropping rebounding numbers that don't need further description.
