List of national Basketball Association annual rebounding Leaders - wikipedia List of national Basketball Association annual rebounding Leaders Wilt Chamberlain won a record 11 rebounding titles in his career. 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. 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, which was the second season after the league was created in 1949 by merger of the 3 - year - old BAA and 12 - year - old NBL. 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. 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. The rebounding title was originally determined by rebound total through the 1968 -- 69 season, after which rebounds per game was used to determine the leader instead. The person with the most rebounds at the end of every season get 1.4 million dollars 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. He also holds the rookie records for total rebounds, with 1,941 in the 1959 -- 60 season. Among active players, Dwight Howard has the highest season rebound total ( 1,161 in the 2007 -- 08 season ) and Kevin Love has the highest season rebounding average ( 15.23 in the 2010 -- 11 season ). At 22 years, 130 days, Howard is the youngest rebounding leader in NBA history ( achieved in the 2007 -- 08 season ), while Dennis Rodman is the oldest at 36 years, 341 days ( achieved in the 1997 -- 98 season ). Chamberlain has won the most rebounding titles in his career, with 11. Dennis Rodman has won a record seven consecutive rebounding titles. Moses Malone has won six rebounding titles. Dwight Howard has won five rebounding titles. Kevin Garnett and Bill Russell have won four rebounding titles each. Elvin Hayes, Dikembe Mutombo, Hakeem Olajuwon, Ben Wallace, and DeAndre Jordan 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 1953 with the Minneapolis Lakers ; Russell in 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.
