Top 5 Rebounders in NBA Live 15

Gaining back the possession of the ball after a missed shot or free throw is known as Rebounding. In Basketball, there are two different Rebounds, Offensive Rebounds and Defensive Rebounds. The majority of the rebounds are defensive because the defending team players stand closer to the basket to gain back possession for their team. NBA Legend Wilt Chamberlain led the NBA in rebounds in 11 different seasons. He has the record for most career rebounds in the regular season (23,924), highest career average (22.9 rpg), single season rebounding records in total (2,149) and average (27.2 rpg), most rebounds in a regular season game (55) and playoff game (41) in the NBA. He also has the most career All-Star Game rebounds (197). Other notable players who are famous for their rebounds are Bob Petit, Nate Thurmond, Moses Malone and Dwight Howard.EA Sports has revealed the top five rebounders in this game based on their ratings.
