Josh Hart's season - best rebs in 37 years for 6'4" or under 

Post#1 » by 8516knicks » Sat Apr 19, 2025 2:28 am

Looked up his stats. 13.6 ppg 9.6 rebs. 5.9 assists.

Then asked chatgtp - "When is the last time an NBA player who was 6'4" or under averaged over 9 rebounds per game for a season?"

Answer: The most recent NBA player standing 6'4" or shorter to average over 9 rebounds per game in a season is Josh Hart. In the 2024–25 NBA season, Hart, listed at 6'4", is averaging 9.6 rebounds per game for the New York Knicks .​
Basketball Reference

Prior to Hart, the last player of similar stature to achieve this feat was Fat Lever during the 1988–89 season. Lever, also listed at 6'3", averaged 9.3 rebounds per game that season. His exceptional rebounding ability for a guard was well-noted during his career.​

Josh Hart's rebounding prowess is particularly impressive given his position and height, highlighting his tenacity and positioning on the court. :nod: :nod: :nod: :clap: :rockon:

Not sure about you all, but I'm also not worried about this guy during the playoffs. He's gonna hit some clutch threes and grab some important rebounds when the game is on the line. Regular season, he can be kinda frustrating though.

Hart is the Anthony Mason of this current team. I really hope he retires a Knick.

Can't wait for the defenses to sag in the paint on Brunson and also double team KAT while leaving Hart alone but Thibs does zero to adjust.

And Josh sagging 10 feet off of a sharpshooter standing in the corner to go hunt rebounds.

If he cleans that up, he will be a much better defender This series.

Josh Hart is literally the guy I am least worried about overall for the playoffs.... Biggest worry is Mikal Bricks.

I was right about Hart but thankfully I was dead wrong about Bridges too who has been clutch instead of a disappointment.
