Slight error? That’s an understatement when Wilt and Russell both averaged over 22 rbg for their career

These people that put these stupid lists together are from the 80’s and 90’s. The best rebounders from Barkley and Rodman until now don’t compare to Russell or Wilt. They don’t even stack up well against Unseld or Thurmond. During Rodman’s “more muscular years” he was still nothing to Wilt when comparing strength.
