    That's what I think too. Naming Bowflex may be a no-no in a news piece because it sounded like they were promoting its use by saying Kenny looked like he had been using it. Chances are, Bowflex isn't an advertiser so they don't want to promote what they aren't getting paid for. Oh, well.

    It's really not fair to compare Taylor to Barkley. Barkley had some of the greatest rebounding instincts the game has ever known. He was always in the right place and knew how to battle on the boards. Some guys just are not cut out to be great rebounders and some guys are. Others are just average.

    <b>There is a HUGE difference between Barkley's 260 and Taylor's 260. It's a lot easier to bang around with muscle than it is with fat...</b>

    But Barkley was fat and was one of the greatest rebounders of all time and won a rebounding title. There are guy with muscles that couldn't touch Barkley's rebounding. This comment confuses me. My head hurts. . .

    Man, our etam's rebounding actually made me forget we have Larry Smith...LOL....

    Anyways, Mo needs to get some fundamentals of rebounding down. Same with Cato, and it would be great if Griffin got it early in his career.

    Charles Barkley Rebounding tips:
    When the official is not looking, curl your arm around the guy next to you, shove him out of the way just before you clear the boards.

    Well, it worked for Sir Chuck for 16 years or so. ;)

    I agree that the best news is Rice droppin 20 lbs. Now he won't have so much weight on his legs for his jump shots.

    The difference is that Mo's 50 pounds were weed, and he dropped them during a high-speed chase.
