Eminence is on the clock and Thee jazz fan is on deck.
 
A very in depth article (to put it lightly) written by a Yale grad showing why Dennis Rodman is the most valuable player of all time:

https://skepticalsports.com/the-case-for-dennis-rodman-guide/

Some key points:

Dennis Rodman has dominated Rebounding Percentage more than anyone has dominated any major stat.

Before Rodman, we should have expected a rebounder of that quality to appear about once every 400 years.

Contrary to popular opinion, Rodman was a much better rebounder than Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell, and it’s not close

Rebounding percentage correlates more strongly with winning than points per game.

Individual rebounding percentage has a more causative effect on team rebounding percentage than individual PPG does on team PPG.

Rodman has the highest Margin of Victory differential of any player since 1986 with a remotely similar sample size

Despite claims that he was exclusively a defensive player, Rodman’s teams played significantly better on offense with him in the lineup, even after accounting for his offense rebounding

[Rodman's] Win% differential is #1 of the 470 players who qualified for the study—by a wide margin

Everyone uses statistics, yet no one listens to statisticians—in part because statisticians build overreaching models, then believe and defend them

I wouldn't argue that Rodman is extremely impactful and possibly the greatest rebounder of all time, but I'm not sure where he got the TRB% for Wilt/Russell? I didn't think we had that data? Probably just used some sort of estimate I guess.
