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!

    • Heels let another team go up 20 on them but this time they complete the comeback. HD never seems to have his team ready but he makes great halftime adjustments. Powell played the majority of the second half and his defense was the difference along with his big three pointer to give the Heels the lead for good. Trimble and Davis were also spectacular. Carolina can’t let Auburn get out to a 20 point lead though, they won’t be able to come back from that.
    • I don't think there is much of a chance we go wr in the first round.  If Young continues to play fairly well, our choice will likely dl, lb, or maybe a slight chance at ol.
