What is the definition/description of "Team Rebound" in pro basketball?

Answer 1

A team rebound occurs when a missed shot goes out of bounds before anybody secures the rebound and your team is awarded possession. A deadball rebound occurs on a first foul shot when the ball is "dead" and the team taking the foul shots is automatically going to get another shot.

Answer 2

A rebound in basketball is the act of successfully gaining possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. Rebounds in basketball are a major part in the game, as most possessions change after a missed shot. Rebounds are divided into two categories: offensive rebounds, in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not change possession, and defensive rebounds, in which the defending team gain possession of the loose ball. Most rebounds are defensive because the team on defense tends to be in better position (in other words, closer to the basket) to recover missed shots. Offensive rebounds lead to another opportunity to score for the offensive team, either right away or reseting the offense.

Rebounds are credited to the first player that gains clear possession of the ball, or to a player that successful deflects the ball into the net for a score. Height, jumping ability, timing and positioning are all required for good rebounding abilities. Because height is very important, many rebounds are made by centers and power forwards. Statistics on a player's "rebounds per game" (RPG), both offensive and defensive, are often kept and are a measure of a player's effectiveness.

Dennis Rodman was considered one of the best rebounders in the NBA. He managed to lead the league in rebounding for seven straight seasons despite generally not being one of the tallest or largest players on the court. One of the skills of his rebounding was "tipping", meaning that when the ball was close enough to him to touch, but too far for him to immediately take firm grasp of it, he would use his fingers to attempt tip the ball in a very controlled fashion--either to himself, into basket for a goal, or to a particular spot on the court where one of his teammates would have the best chance to recover it.

Wilt Chamberlain led the NBA all-time in rebounds statistically, and thus is considered by some to be the best rebounder of all-time. Others debate this, as Chamberlain played in an era in which players took more shot attempts than basketball players today. Other great rebounders in the NBA are Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Kevin Garnett, Ben Wallace.

Because fighting for a rebound can be very physical, rebounding is often regarded as part of "dirty work" or "hustle" plays.
