Rebounding

Rebounding is the act of gaining possession of a basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. A rebound is offensive when recovered by the shooting team and defensive when recovered by its opponent.

Boxing out: A basketball technique that uses body position to keep an opponent away from the basket and a likely rebound. Players box out opponents to create room to pursue the ball after a miss.
Offensive rebound: A rebound recovered by the team that attempted the missed shot. It extends the team's possession and can create a second scoring opportunity.
Blocked shot: A defensive play that deflects or stops a shot before it reaches the basket. A block can cause a loose ball, but it is not itself a rebound.
Wilt Chamberlain: An American basketball player who played in the NBA from 1959 to 1973 and set numerous scoring and rebounding records. His 55-rebound NBA game in 1960 remains a landmark individual rebounding performance.
Rebound angle: The direction in which a missed basketball travels after striking the rim or backboard. Predicting the rebound angle helps players move toward where the ball is likely to land.
Defensive rebound: A rebound recovered by the team that did not attempt the missed shot. It usually ends the opponent's possession and lets the recovering team begin its attack.
Turnover: A loss of possession before a shot attempt is completed, caused by an error or defensive play. A turnover ends possession without a missed shot for a rebound to follow.
Dennis Rodman: An American basketball player known for defense and rebounding, who won five NBA championships. His rebounding success illustrates how anticipation and positioning can outweigh scoring.
Vertical leap: The height a person can reach by jumping vertically from a standing or running position. Jumping reach helps determine which player can claim a contested rebound.
Second-chance points: Points scored after an offensive rebound extends a possession following a missed shot. Offensive rebounds can directly generate these additional scoring opportunities.
