List of National Basketball Association season rebounding leaders

In basketball, a rebound is the act of gaining possession of the ball after a missed field goal or free throw. An offensive rebound occurs when a player recovers the ball after their own or a teammate's missed shot attempt, while a defensive rebound occurs when a player recovers the ball after an opponent's missed shot attempt.[1] The National Basketball Association's (NBA) rebounding title is awarded to the player with the highest rebounds per game average in a given season. It was first recognized in the 1950–51 season, when statistics on rebounds were first compiled by the Basketball Association of America (BAA), predecessor of the NBA. Players who earned rebounding titles before the 1973–74 season did not record any offensive or defensive rebounds because statistics on them were not recorded before that season.[2] To qualify for the rebounding title, a player must appear in at least 70 games (out of 82) or have at least 800 rebounds. This has been the entry criteria since the 1974–75 season.[3]

Wilt Chamberlain holds the all-time records for total rebounds (2,149) and rebounds per game (27.2) in a season; both records were achieved in the 1960–61 season.[4] He also holds the rookie records for total rebounds, with 1,941 in the 1959–60 season.[5] Among active players, Dwight Howard has the highest season rebound total (1,161 in the 2007–08 season) and Ben Wallace has the highest season rebounding average (15.42 in the 2002–03 season).

Chamberlain has won the most rebounding titles in his career, with 11.[4] Dennis Rodman has won seven consecutive rebounding titles,[6] while Moses Malone and Bill Russell have won six and five, respectively. Kevin Garnett, Elvin Hayes, Howard, George Mikan, Dikembe Mutombo, Hakeem Olajuwon and Wallace are the only other players who have won the title multiple times. Five players have won the rebounding title and the NBA championship in the same season: Mikan in 1952 and 1953 with the Minneapolis Lakers; Russell in 1957, 1959, 1964, and 1965 with the Boston Celtics; Chamberlain in 1967 and 1972 with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers; Malone in 1983 with the 76ers; and Rodman in 1996, 1997, and 1998 with the Chicago Bulls.
