4. Kevin Love, 2011-12

Here is that man again.

Kevin Love may go down in NBA history as one of the best rebounders ever seen. Love’s lack of elite athletic ability notwithstanding he seems to have a knack for the ball. Love will never be a player who can jump over guys to grab a rebound.

He does a great job of using his body and strength to put himself into rebounding position.

In 2011-12, Love posted one of the best rebounding seasons of his career.

Despite missing the first 27 games of the season because of knuckle push-ups gone wild, Love turned in one of the finest rebounding seasons of his career. He would go on to achieve 48 double-doubles in the 55 games he played.

He finished the year averaging 13.3 rebounds per game, ranking second in the NBA that season.

The 13.3 rebounds also gives Love the fifth-most rebounds per game in Timberwolves history. He grabbed 19 percent of all available shots while he was on the floor, ranking eighth in the Minnesota record books.
