Maybe in a pickup game it may not seem like much especially if it isn't 5 on 5, but in organized basketball its essential especially offensive rebounds.

Felt better than games where I scored 90% of my team's points

every basketball player does rebounding drills, just like they do shooting drills, ballhandling drills, etc.
