@Region Philbis,
K-Love wants that rebound more than anyone else on the court.
I've always liked Amare Stoudemire; never been very fond of 'Melo, but I will cheer for ANYONE who beats the Heat! Go Knicks!
@Ticomaya,
the want plus the know-how makes him a veritable rebounding machine...
Love is young, so he may end up being the greatest rebounder. but he ain't there yet. Below is listed highest rebounds in a game, but the list for average per game in history is still a long climb, too.
Most Rebounds in a Game in NBA History by a Player
1. Wilt Chamberlain - 55
On November 24, 1960 Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors grabbed 55 rebounds vs the Boston Celtics. That is the most ever in an NBA game and a record that will be tough to beat.
2. Bill Russell - 51
On February 5, 1960 Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics grabbed 51 rebounds against the Syracuse Nationals. Russell and Chamberlain are the only two players to ever grab 50 plus rebounds in a game.
Most Rebounds in an NBA Game by Player Since 1986-87
1. Charles Oakley - 35
Charles Oakley was a great rebounder and he grabbed 35 boards for the Chicago Bulls on April 22, 1988.
2. Rony Seikaly - 34
Rony Seikaly played college ball for my team the Syracuse Orangemen. He went on to have a pretty good NBA career averaging 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game and on March 3, 1993 he grabbed 34 rebounds for the Miami Heat. Seikaly finished up his 11 year NBA career for the New Jersey Nets but he was shot as a player by then.
2. Dennis Rodman - 34
Dennis Rodman was one of the best rebounders in NBA history and on March 4, 1992 he grabbed 34 boards for the Detroit Pistons.
4. Charles Barkley - 33
The Round Mound of Rebound was an outstanding rebounder and on November 2, 1996 he grabbed 33 for the Houston Rockets.
4. Kevin Willis - 33
On February 19, 1992 Kevin Willis of the Atlanta Hawks grabbed 33 boards.
6. Dennis Rodman - 32 on January 2, 1994 for San Antonio Spurs
6. Dennis Rodman - 32 on January 28, 1992 for Pistons again
8. Kevin Love(notes) - 31 on November 12, 2010 for Minnesota Timberwolves
Love currently leads the NBA in rebounds for the 2010-11 season.
8. Kevin Willis - 31 on December 3, 1991 for Hawks
8. Dennis Rodman - 31 on March 14, 1992 for Pistons again
8. Dikembe Mutombo(notes) - 31 on March 26, 1996 for Denver Nuggets

Safe to assume you don't like Melo because he only stayed 1 year?
I don't like Melo because he beat KU that year.
(I think Seikaly was on my fantasy basketball team that year he got the 34 rebounds.)
@Ticomaya,
Sorry Tico, I cut and pasted that article of statistics, and didn't even take notice that there was some editorial commentary in it. It isn't my comment.
Here's a link to the original article...

@snood,
i would just like to take this moment to publicly thank the Spurs for the beat-down they administered to the Heat the other night...
@Region Philbis,
I hear ya. I will piggy-back on that by expressing my deep gratitude to the Carolina Tarheels for putting the beatdown on the Dookies.
one more double-double and K.Love breaks M.Malone's 32-year old record of 51 straight games (which he did over the course of 2 seasons)...
@Region Philbis,
He's on my fantasy basketball team this year, and I appreciate his efforts!
@Ticomaya,
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN BASKETBALL??!!
Join us for this year's March Madness tourney! Be there or be ... a flat and deflated basketball!

@snood,

@tsarstepan,
Maybe, maybe not. Whatever, it won't affect the fact that I love CAROLINA and hate DOOK!
C's stole won from NYK last night...

I can't get over how stupid it was to trade K. Perkins. the C's are gonna have a hard road with 'O'neal Lite' and Big Baby as their frontcourt anchors.
@snood,
yup.
barring a shaq medical miracle, they won't get past the next round...
bahn-burhnah at the gahden tonight.
C's won by 3, thanx to rondo's career-high 30 and KG's veteran guile at the end.
knicks hung around all night, despite injuries to billups and stoudemire...
C's destroyed NYK last night --
pierce: 38 pts (6-8 in 3's)
allen: 32 pts (8-11 in 3's)
rondo: 15-11-
20* trip-dubb

@Region Philbis,
That was take-no-prisoners basketball.
