Both well known for their various hair styles and their defensive prowress, Pistons Forward Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman are more alike than one might think. While Wallace's manner off the court is more subdued, the numbers don't lie. During the 2002-03 season, Wallace grabbed a league-leading 15.4 rebounds - the most since Dennis Rodman’s 15.0 rpg in 1997-98. Wallace grabbed 20-plus rebounds in five consecutive games (3/12 – 3/20), becoming the first player since Dennis Rodman (1995) to do so. Wallace's 18.8 rebounds per game during 14 games in March 2003 was the highest average for an NBA player in one month since Rodman averaged 18.2 rpg in 1997-98. Wallace also became the first Piston to grab 1,000-plus rebounds in three consecutive seasons since Dennis Rodman.
