Why are you stating Dirk's total RPG? That's irrelevant.
His defensive RPG career is 7.2.....that's 0.5 behind Barkley...which is right in line with their respective DRB%.
Defensive Rebound Percentage (available since the 1970-71 season in the NBA); the formula is 100 * (DRB * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm DRB + Opp ORB)). Defensive rebound percentage is an estimate of the percentage of available defensive rebounds a player grabbed while he was on the floor.
