    The main topic is not about Faried's rebounding, only a very small blurb. It's about the alternative sexual preferences of one of his parents and how it affected him.

    At least be honest about the title.

    If by both you mean 5% on rebounding and 95% on other content, well then sure. But according to basic 1st grade English grammar rules that would seem to be wrong.

    main idea
    the most important or central thought which tells the reader what the text is about.

    I nearly cried reading that article. I’ve always been intrigued by Faried’s game but now I realize just how great of a locker room presence he is. I hope he retires a Rocket

    Dude your distribution is way off, there’s quite a bit in there about rebounding. Way more than 5%. Either way it’s an excellent article

    Grammar refers to the rules and structure of a language. In the process of insulting this person’s reading comprehension, you just misused the word “grammar.” This is the definition of irony.

    Also, it’s a bit redundant to use “basic” and “1st grade” in succession as you did. Tsk-tsk.

    His comments about holding the rebound record the other night means so much more than I thought. Was rooting for him before, but damn this makes me root for him so much more and glad he is a Rocket.

    At most 10% is about rebounding.

    Nonetheless the article is vastly not about rebounding. You failed to address the main idea. Tsk-tsk

    There's no way to win this. There are clearly sections that talk about where his rebounding tenacity comes from. Writer mentions it multiple times. Maybe it's not the "main idea" but the main idea that I get about you is that you're a bit of a dick.

    Great article about rebounding! I had no idea his inspiration to rebound came from his mother! That's fantastic!

    Whatever makes you feel better Don, I'm not the one cussing people out online. All I asked is for accuracy about the topic which is, once again, mainly about the alternative sexual preferences of his mother and how it affected him, with a couple small blurbs about rebounding in it. I don't really mind what people post about as long as I know what I'm about to click on is accurately portrayed.

    Did you read the sections on rebounding? They were excellent.
