Amare is the worst rebounding big man in the league

[StateOfMind12]

Seriously, Amare is like Andrea Bargnani-like when it comes to rebounding.


Amare grabbed 4 rebounds today.

Lin? 7 rebounds. Now I know Lin is great and the best player on the Knicks but there is no reason why a PF should be outrebounded by a PG. :facepalm

[inclinerator]

yep, he sucks and is a totem pole on defense

[hawkfan]

Amare = overrated, overpaid.

[swi7ch]

Joel Anthony is.

They should trade Amare and Melo.

[No Evans!]

Did Brook Lopez die?

[inclinerator]

at least joel gets offense rebounds

Not a rebounder, a defender on par w/ Boozer ( at least Boozer rebounds)

now offensively he sucks...

Like I said, he's washed up and its tragic that he's stuck w/ the Knicks for 5 more years...dude looks and plays like he's aged 10 years

[kingBynum]

he should ask Reggie Evans for advice:oldlol:

[Yanch856]

Amare is washed up man.

He better find some way to channel is old self cos he's paid like a superstar when he should be on the bench.

FFS how many times have i watched him being blocked and humiliated in the paint??

He was never even a good rebounder in Phoenix. I don't think he ever averaged 10 rpg in his NBA career and they played in incredibly fast pace games in Phoenix.

[CLTHornets4eva]

Did Brook Lopez die?
:lol :applause: One of the worst non scrub big men rebounders for sure.

And this is news how?
He has always been a soft PF who doesn't rebound.

[gyu]

He seems to have pretty bad hands, I've seen him let the ball slip out of his hands on a few recent occasions when the ball comes to him.

[Whoah10115]

He said he felt like a beast and now he plays like a guy who really sucks at basketball.

[JMT]

And this is news how?

No, no, many of these were the same posters proclaiming him the best PF in the game, slamming PHX for letting him walk.

Just let a guy get some prime highlight dunks on ESPN and ISH names them GOAT.

[blablabla]

sometimes he can't even catch lins passes

Well this... Brook Lopez says hi...
:facepalm

[InfiniteBaskets]

Well rebounding is 50% positioning and 50% effort. So that right there should give you your answer.

[Blue&Orange]

Stat is averaging 8 rebounds a game... but hey let's not let that get in the way, please let the idiocy continue.

[MELOgamaniac]

We still have brook lopez, bargani, and dirk in this lg.

[MELOgamaniac]

oh and also NENE

One season should never justify a guy's career in terms to Lopez. Stop over blowing everything over to typical proportions.

When did Ryan Hollins die? He's the worst big rebounder i ever seen. Just look at his stats.

Knicks take a lot of jump shots, which produces a lot of long rebounds. That's how Lin and Fields always get so many. It's not like Lin was blocking people out for those boards.

[Kujo]

Nah, Andrea Bargnani is clearly the worse big man rebounder in the NBA.

of big men who played at least 25 mpg, and 55 games in a season, since the 06/07 season, boris diaw has the 5 worst TRB% seasons.

he is far and away the worst rebounding big man.

channing frye and eddy curry have also been abhorrent over this period of time on the boards

bargnani is also a lot worse than amare on the boards

amare is below average, but not horrible

[JohnnyWall]

One season should never justify a guy's career in terms to Lopez. Stop over blowing everything over to typical proportions.

Amar'e is averaging 8.8 rebounds per game over his career. He has never had a single season where he averaged double-digit rebounds. While other bigs put up far better numbers on the boards... Griffin (12 RPG), Love (12 RPG), Duncan (11 RPG), even Bosh (9.2 RPG) has had several 10 RPG seasons.

[linZoMourning]

amare just doesnt have a high bball iq thats all. we knew this in phoenix

[GOBB]

I should bump Amare threads when Knicks signed him and his first year with NY. Just to get a chuckle out of Knicks fans posts then vs now.

Curry is terrible. I give Frye somewhat of a pass because he's nothing more than a tall as shooting guard to me. I never expected him to rebound much and he camps out around the perimeter/beyond the arc more than the interior. Amare/Curry? The interior is where they live, yet they couldnt outrebound me.

[Blue&Orange]

amare is below average, but not horrible
He is average. He is not below average. There are more PF below him that above him in rebounding.

[JMT]

Sure, if you want to count every PF in the league.

For his size, the lack of focus he puts on defense, and his standard court positioning, he's an atrociously bad rebounder.

Ryan Anderson pulls down more offensve boards.

Josh Smith and 45 yr old Tim Duncan (in 6 fewer minutes per gm) out rebound him handily.

[RRR3]

Amar'e is not a great rebounder, but his rebounding ability (or rather, his lack thereof) is greatly exaggerated. He averaged 8.8 RPG in 31.3 MPG his rookie year (10.1 RPG per 36), and 9.6 RPG in 32.8 MPG in 2007 (10.5 per 36). Let's compare Amare to other PF's who are usually the starters on their current team.


Total Rebounds Per 36 minutes career:
Kevin Love-13.9 RPG
Tim Duncan-11.5 RPG
Blake Griffin-11.3 RPG
Carlos Boozer-11.1 RPG
David Lee-11.1 RPG
Kris Humphries-11.0 RPG
Kevin Garnett-10.5 RPG
Zach Randolph-10.4 RPG
Serge Ibaka-10.3 RPG
Drew Gooden-10.2 RPG
Amir Johnson-9.6 RPG
Jason Thompson-9.5 RPG
Paul Millsap-9.4 RPG
Elton Brand-9.3 RPG
Luis Scola-9.3 RPG
Pau Gasol-9.2 RPG
Amar'e Stoudemire-9.2 RPG
Chris Bosh-9.0 RPG
Andray Blatche-8.6 RPG
Ryan Anderson-8.5 RPG
Josh Smith-8.3 RPG
Dirk Nowitzki-8.2 RPG
David West-8.1 RPG
LaMarcus Aldridge-7.8 RPG
Channing Frye-7.8 RPG
Antawn Jamison-7.8 RPG
Boris Diaw-5.8 RPG

Amare is a ****ing clown. If he was rebounding as he should have been on Phoenix, he'd have been getting like 14 rebounds a game. And he's just regressed since then. Another ****ed up thing is he's not really a big minute guy. For the type of star he is and the shape he is in, he should be like 40 mpg.

He was a great fit in Phoenix, but he's really not a star player. He could be, but he's not.

-Smak

[StateOfMind12]

Stat is averaging 8 rebounds a game... but hey let's not let that get in the way, please let the idiocy continue.

Amare has not averaged 10 rpg in his career even in Phoenix when they were running and gunning non-stop. You know that running and gunning gives you more of a chance to get more boards right?

If Amare never averaged 10 rpg in his career and played less than 30 mpg and they played in a slow tempo then 8 rpg is fine, it would probably be good.

However, the fact that Amare played like around 35 mpg every season in Phoenix and in New York and they all played a fast run and gun system and he still can't average 10+ rpg is terrible.

This guy might not be the worst, but he is certainly up in the discussion for it.

of big men who have started 20 games this year (29 players qualify), amar'e is 24th in total rebound percentage.

hes been worse than i initially thought

LaMarcus Aldridge is a surprisingly shitty rebounder.

[TheBluest]

He's a disgrace in this area of his game when you consider his physical tools, then when you add the fact he makes $20mil per season.....then it moves to

NOT SURE IF AMAR'E IS SERIOUS

but hey Smelo said at the presser when he came to the Knicks that they would tell each other if either needed to grab 15-20reb then they'd get it done....:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

I hope the Knicks trade both players for players who fit their system team better but may not necessarily be the better players in...

And since Smelo and Amar'e make more than these guys trades can be supplemented with other players to make it more balanced.

Geez, StateofMind really hates the Knicks

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Stoudemire is trash. Low bball IQ low life IQ. there is no reason he shouldn't be getting blake griffin type rebounding numbers with his athleticism. Unfortunately he doesn't have the Motor blake does.

completely agree

[NUPE_1911]

The last two years Amare has averaged between 8 and 9 boards at the PF spot. I am pretty sure I can find worse big men rebounders. 8 to 9 boards is not bad at all for a PF. It is not elite but it is not bad.

[ncrizzle]

Zach Randolph cant even jump over a ham sandwich and is a bit on the heavy side, yet still has a career AVG of 10.4. Amare is taller and superior athletically. Dude just doesnt have the effort. Its a shame, bc he could be one of the best players in the league

[kNicKz]

Tired of hearing that Amare doesn't have the drive, etc. He looks crippled on the field because he is crippled. His back is SHOT. It's impressive that he is even playing at this level. SMH at "amare doesn't have the motor". Get out of here with that bullshit :coleman: Dude put up like 25-10 in PHX and 20-8 when healthy in New york. You all sound like a bunch of skip baylesses making these callouts

[SevereUpInHere]

completely agree


RG, how many accounts do you have in here agreeing with each other? It's pretty sad man. Clearly the OP, kobron23 and RoundMound are you, why even bother, you hate the Knicks, we get it...

I only have one account on this forum. Who is RG anyways?

[Freedom Kid7]

You know what's even worse than his rebounding? His Goddamn defense. One on One, help defense, doesn't matter. He's terrible. Tyson does a good job filling in the gap that Amare provides.
Seriously, it's in the Boozer-tier. At least Boozer can grab a rebound though.

[TheBigVeto]

And this is news, how?
He has always sucked in rebounding. Softest PF of all time.
