The one who controls the rebounds controls the game. Arguably one of the greatest rebounders of all-time, Dennis Rodman was one of the most ruthless players in the NBA. His physicality and impressive stamina helped him collect rebounds, even over 7’1 giants like Shaquille O?Neal. NBA greats like Isiah Thomas stated recently that Rodman was “one of the first guys getting paid for rebounding and defense”.

However, Thomas was not the only one to acknowledge The Worm’s impeccable skills. Recently, the 5x champion’s longtime friend makes a major revelation about his rebounding prowess.

In a recent YouTube ?Short? clip, famous YouTube comedian/chauffer Bill Meyer made a shocking revelation about the Chicago Bulls legend. He says, ?Dennis Rodman was one of my favorite clients. Not because he was a great basketball player, but because he could turn back time!“.

He explains, “Can you explain to me why he was one of the greatest rebounders of all time? It’s because when the ball would miss the basket and go some place, he would just turn back time and get the rebound.“. The 5x NBA champion’s rebounding stats were no joke. He averaged a staggering 13.1 rebounds per game in his 14-year-long NBA career.
