Draft day-2008
Memphis traded the rights of Kevin Love to Minnesota for the rights to OJ Mayo.
This offseason
Al Jefferson traded to Utah for 2 1st round picks
What do those two things have to do with my article? Nothing, but Kevin Love has a cult in the blog sphere and in Minnesota. Why? Is it because he’s the modern day Jerry Lucas? Is it because he’s on a helpless Minnesota Timberwolves team? I don’t know, the thing is: I never seen anything like it. To me, Kevin Love is a great player who could be a #3 option on a playoff team. He’s relentless on the boards but he’s not the greatest defender nor is he monster athletic. I also wonder can he score more, 14 ppg last season in 60 games was impressive, but I wonder can he increase that to 16, 17 points a game. So I ask this: What’s up with Kevin Love? What makes him this popular player to many people?
I would LOVE comments on this!
