Some of these guys have horrible fundamentals. Look at Blake Griffin and Jordan. They dont get any kind of positioning. Sh1t is sad

The same way Randolph gets boards. The same way Reggie Evans gets boards. These are big bodies that push people out of the way and WANT the ball. You ain't gotta be athletic to grab a rebound.

You don't need "fundamentals" to be a good/great rebounder either. You didn't see Dennis Rodman or Charles Barkley boxing anybody out. They were about going to get that rock.

A lot of it is effort, timing and having the right position. But some people (like Rodman) have the innate ability to know where the ball will land off of a miss and Love seems to have this trait too.

one thing about kevin love tho is he is bottom heavy for anybody thats ever been boxed out by a stocky person you would understand how it feels trying to get positioning with them no matter how hard you try to

His FG is disgusting for a big man:scusthov:

35.4% from the field? FROM YOUR POWER FORWARD?!!:wtf:

Kevin Love like Dirk is not a prototypical PF. His shot is off because his dumbass decided to come back early from that broken hand and now he has a sprained finger on the same hand.

If you watch Noah and Varejao they get into position as soon as the shooter releases the ball. Makes it almost impossible to out-rebound them.

timing, anticipation, hustle, and boxing out

This right here. And he boxes out hard too. I can't count how many times I see cats not boxing out. It's really a lost art. The fact that he does lack some athleticism forces him to rely on the fundamentals, like Rodman did.

Go rewatch Dennis Rodman's games. He wasn't rebounding on some pure fundamental shyt. That motherfukker was just a go-and-get-it type, like Faried is now.

not playing any help defense helps. so does not contesting shots and rebounding his own misses under the basket.
