VORP: 2.8

A part of me feels bad for Kevin Love. Then, I remember that he’s an NBA Champion and playing next to LeBron James.

Despite being on the wrong team, because he simply doesn’t fit on the Cavs, Love has not backed down from the responsibility that comes with playing on a team that has an “X” on its back night-in and night-out.

Love is a really good player, don’t get that twisted. He’s just not a great fit in Cleveland. He gets a bad rep, too. But it’s the same one that Chris Bosh struggled with when he was playing third fiddle to LeBron and Dwyane Wade in Miami. Love may not be as good as we all believed he was during his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he’s still really good.

Next: No. 7
