LeBron James References Taurean Prince's Iconic Quotes to Try to Help Fix 76ers' Rebounding Issues

The Philadelphia 76ers have not been a great rebounding team early in the 2026-27 season and were absolutely crushed on the boards by the Detroit Pistons during Sunday's 106-93 loss.

After the game, LeBron James was asked about what the team could do to end their rebounding woes and decided to have a bit of fun with the questioning, referencing Taurean Prince's famous rebounding quote from his Baylor days.

Sunday's issues—Detroit out-rebounded the Sixers by a stunning 54-37 margin, pulling down 15 offensive boards alone—weren't a huge surprise. Joel Embiid didn't play on the second half of a back-to-back, power forwards Jabari Walker and Dom Barlow were out with injuries and backup center Ariel Hukporti was already lost for the season with a ruptured Achilles.

The Sixers have struggled with depth down on the block to start the season, though the team is still 3-1 overall. But fixing the rebounding issues may not be as simple as going up and grabbing the ball with two hands off the rim more times than the other team does it.
