Recently I’ve watched a lot of old Memphis games, and one thing that strikes me is how they offensive rebound. It’s not that they’re aggressive, which they certainly are, but how they’re always first to the ball.

It comes down to the offense and all the tips that are in it. Players just get used to judging the ball and being near the rim all the time. Also players are naturally on a path towards the basket every time a shot goes up, which doesn’t hurt your chances either…
