Philadelphia 76ers backup center Andre Drummond recently made a controversial comment about why he is able to rebound so well in the NBA. He initially said that when he came into the NBA, he would watch other players miss shots and study where their shots would come off the rim in order to grab rebounds.
Andre Drummond was then asked if he ever intentionally missed his own shots to grab a rebound to which he responded that he definitely did. With the NBA social media world in an uproar after those comments, he seemingly walked back that admission by taking to social media to say it was just a joke .
Whether he was joking or not, that still doesn’t change the fact that he is one of the better offensive rebounders in the NBA. Even if he has intentionally missed shots at times to get rebounds, opposing teams haven’t been able to box him out…
