The issue here is rebounding props/respect vs. scoring props/respect. Are you really trying to suggest that a great rebounder is going to get the same props/respect as a great scorer? Most elite players are gonna catch criticism at some point. However you will see far more questions about a guy when he doesn't score than you will about a guy who doesn't rebound. People respect points more than anything else.
Is the rebound a overrated stat. Lets speak on it

Seeing as you can't score without first having the ball, I'd say a guy getting a rebound is pretty important. 
That was the question I never said was it not a fundamental part of the game, just the fact that people will say a guy had 20 and 10 versus 20 and lets say 3 steals 4 blocks. I was asking when it comes to stats i think how many a guy gets is overrated vs skill because if I get 15 uncontested rebounds/ones my teammates where right there did i really have an amazing night

Why are you making up impossible scenarios?
at getting 15 uncontested rebounds in a professional basketball game.
Nobody gave a shyt about Rodman until he started coloring his hair, wearing dresses, and fukking Madonna. Even with that we gonna act like he was put on the same level as Jordan or Kobe or even Karl Malone and Chuck?

The OP isn't downplaying the IMPORTANCE of rebounding tho 
First of all people have an obsession with round numbers. Any sort of double double or triple double is gonna get more love because of that. Not only that but rebounding is becoming more and more of a lost art. We didn't have one 20/10 guy last season. That used to be common place.

at the bolded. If it was that easy then everybody would be a double double machine. http://dimemag.com/2013/11/5-interesting-stats-nbas-first-week/2/ they actually keep stats on that breh just asking a question if dwight had 26 boards and 9 of them are uncontested how high up on the stat sheet would you look at that for having a good gameWhy are you making up impossible scenarios?
