Kevin Love's 52nd consecutive double-double sets modern NBA record


Recommended Posts

Kevin Love recorded his 52nd straight double-double tonight in the first-half against the Pacers. Breaking Moses Malone's modern NBA record of 51 straight.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has recorded his 52nd double-double in a row, surpassing Moses Malone for the longest streak since the ABA and NBA merged in 1976.

Love didn't waste much time in extending the streak. He grabbed 10 rebounds in the first 16 minutes and scored his 10th point at the free throw line with 6:51 to play in the first half.

The crowd gave him a standing ovation and he waved as his achievement was put on the big screen above the court.

Love played with a bulky brace on his bruised left knee and wasn't sure he was going to play until shortly before game time. He was injured on Monday against Dallas, when he tied Malone's mark of 51 in a row with 23 points and 17 rebounds.

The last time Love did not have a double-double was Nov. 19 against the Los Angeles Lakers when he was scoreless with eight rebounds.

Why isn't he in consideration for MVP. Someone tell me and give me a better excuse than he is not on a good team. (That's not his fault.)

MVPs win games. check D Rose out. Also, MVP has to be one of the top offensive players with scoring and assists. And he has to be a monster, check KD and Kobe out

:lol: ^^

Congrats to Kevin Love. He's been going ham on the boards all year long, and he aint no slouch when it comes to scoring(20.8 ppg). If he wasnt on the T-Wolves, he would be in the MVP running for sure. Dude is a beast, and like I said earlier in the year, he's a machine!

    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
