Tom Chambers is better.
 
.....interestingly, you have to go all the way down to number 50......to find a rebounder who was noted for his "hops".....and that player was Shawn Kemp! All the other guys had difficulty elevating high enough to slide a Sunday night "Night Owl" newspaper under there feet!

Rebounding has little to do with hops and much more to do with positioning and effort.

Charles Barkley had a 37" vertical coming out of Auburn - and that was at 280lbs. But he wasn't "known" for his hops because he could do other things - like play basketball.

I once read a story where Barkley dunked the ball 10 times in a row while standing at the rim in front of reporters.....on one frickin' leg (his left!). For a guy 6'5" to do that is inhuman.
