Is LeBron the best rebounding SF ever?

[Semi]

Not talking about All-Time because Lebron can't be in the competition just with one great rebounding postseason. But when you talk about right now and over the last few years, I think Melo deserves a mention.

Young Barkley played PF (84-89). He played SF from 89-91. Then Moved Back to PF from 92-00

pre-dream team barkley is young barkley.

They were rounding against short white guys

They rebounding against real centers

Lebron is very good at many things. But he isn't the best at any of them.

False.

Please take off the homer glasses. There is not one thing Lebron does the best in the NBA. The reason he's so good is cause he is very versatile and can do many things good. But he is not a specialist in one single category.

Not the best Shooter
Not the best Scorer
Not the best Passer
Not the best Rebounder
Not the best Stealer
Not the best Blocker
Not the best Defender

VERY good in all these areas, but not the best in any of them.

he's the best athlete.

[Tenchi Ryu]

he's the best athlete.

That's not a category though, that more along goes with his ability to be so versatile.

yes it is.
it's an official category in the basketball rules of ish.
it dramatically enhances your rebounding, offense and defense making lebron the best scorer, defender and rebounder at small forward of all time.

you put Larry Bird and Lebron on the same court against each other, who gonna get more rebounds?

[Pointguard]

Bird has that title because he did it his whole career. But if a player had to be a SF the whole game on offense and defense, Lebron would be the better rebounder simply because his feet movement is quicker and he could get back underneath quicker - at least if you go by these playoffs.

If I were to reword the title it might be "Is Lebron is the best perimeter player to rebound like this?" The amazing part about it is that he's one of the best complete offensive players ever while being among the most complete defenders in the game ever as well (steals, blocks, rebounds, help defense, pg, sg, sf and pf range).
