ReBounds

Rebounds are the number of times a player retrieves the ball after a missed shot during a basketball game. They indicate a player’s ability to regain possession, either offensively (getting the ball after a teammate’s missed shot to create another scoring opportunity) or defensively (preventing the opposing team from scoring again after a missed shot). Rebounds are a key measure of effort, positioning, and physical skill, often influencing the momentum of the game. They are counted separately for offensive and defensive plays, reflecting different roles in controlling the ball and scoring chances.
