Kevin Love Full Highlights at Clippers (2013.12.22) - 45 Pts, 19 Reb, Huge Night 

When you have a superstar playmaker and you take the ball out of his hands and stick him in the corner to shoot threes, it's going to completely wreck a guy with this kind of talent. That's what the Cavs did with him.

@@logicaldude3611 they did a lot more than that, but yeah, bis role was diminished

they suck

almost

checking back in to confirm

Dude you’re a fortune teller

Yea & joining the Cavs where he had his role reduced to a simple catch & shoot guy playing with Ky & Love… altough he won a championship.. that move hurt his overall potential HOF career

He should've stayed in Minnesota where he would've been the #1 option.

Chris Park Yes oh my god thank you. They probably had the worst bench in the whole league that year, and nobody on their starting 5 could play D except for Rubio.

+Chris Park I know the starting bigman named Nikola Pekovic could never finish a shot

Tracy Ludwig Your wrong there... He was excellent at finishing and getting back put back off misses

keax are you happy now?!

Imagine being a Warriors fan 7 years ago and having no idea who Klay Thomson and Dreymond Green are...

Bardh Ajeti What an original joke

i agree, he looks waaay more confident in these clips than he ever has at cleveland though

maybe because he's just following what lebron says in cavs.Also, I noticed that love is somewhat out of shape since his shoulder injury last playoffs.

+Daniel Alfred im mot sure about out of shape but thiink he needs to out some weight on so he can bang in the post like he used to, think he weighs less

I strongly agree. He weighs less and gets bullied under the board

it sucks for love that kyrie and lebron both need the ball in their hands. when he actually gets the post position he looks rusty and nervous. also weaker

He was a 3rd option he couldn't be like this with them

Lebron turned him into a spot up shooter.. You think love just forgot how to play?

Oh my bad lebron makes his teammates better i forgot..

I would love to see Love in a Lakers' uniform!!! Lakers are going to talk to him.

currently enjoying his weekend in Boston lol n meeting RR9

Too bad he is signing with the Cavaliers.

And now he's about to win a Championship with the Cavs

+Viral MemoriezHD and now he did :)

will be but not before Tim Duncan retired.

+endjexejac RIP

He did...

Yep, Rui Miyake is right, Andrew Wiggins was traded for Kevin Love. Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love couldn't be on the same team because Andrew Wiggins was drafted to the Cavs and on draft night he was traded to the Timberwolves for Kevin Love.

The Wolves with Love wouldn't be bad enough to get the #1 pick, so Towns would be somewhere else.

+John Doe Not on draft night

Nicolas Gallant nope

Chris then it was definitely Love. Now it’s Griffin

Love's third in the league in win shares behind Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Blake is sixth. Love's fourth in win shares per 48 minutes behind Kevin Durant Chris Paul and LeBron James. Blake is eighth. Love's third in PER (Player Efficiency Rating) behind Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Blake is ninth. Love's third in the league in offensive win shares behind Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Blake is 11th. Love is third in PIE (Player Impact Estimate) behind Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Blake is 10th. Blake is 14th in the league in defensive win shares. Not sure where Love ranks. I only know that it's higher than 20.

the problem is people fall in love with athetic players and not basketball skills like good shooting, good passing and ball I.Q. everyone want a slam dunk. I will pick love over griffin anytime anywhere. I hope the Cavs do make the choice of getting love.

***** Ok so *how* does Blake's above the rim play somehow impact the game more than Love's shooting? You can say shit all day long but it doesn't mean anything unless you back it up with something. I think Love's outside shooting wreaks havoc on the defense more because he spreads it out, leaving room for guards to slash and centers to post up. See? I backed up my statement. Your turn.

***** Oh and while you're at it please describe how Love's impact is somehow less than his statistics suggest.

***** Blake's post game is not dominant. It's getting better but it's not dominant.. Kevin's post game is barely any worse than Blake's is. He's got a very good right hook and I've seen him school people in the post plenty of times. How can you build around a shooter? Ever heard of Dirk Nowitzki? Ya know that guy who won a title and a Finals MVP (also league MVP) being primarily a shooter? Also Larry Bird? Shooting is a big part of basketball if you haven't noticed. You're just way oversimplifying everything. I could just as easily say that Blake's a one trick pony and all he can do is dunk. It's not true, but that's what you're doing with Kevin Love. Love's a better shooter, passer and rebounder. If Blake weren't so athletic then he'd be nobody. If and when Blake's athleticism fades he'll be done. He'll be like Tracy McGrady. Love on the other hand will more than likely age like Tim Duncan because he relies on skill and not strength and athleticism. Oh and what's this about Love riding other players' coattails? I'm sorry but if you have the opportunity to play with LeBron then why pass that up? Blake was just lucky that Chris Paul came to the Clippers, otherwise he'd probably leave too.

It's sucks bro he made the move to the wrong team. 2013 love was a straight beast

How did lebron wasted his career? Love kept getting injured and was playing bad some games

Cavs* uniform

AL N Hello .

He was no role player on the Cavs...

Honestly I prefer Kevin Love to Blake Griffin but I'd rather see a guy who's an amazing dunker in the starting lineup than someone who gets his points through unspectacular ways. It's an All Star game, that's the kind of play that it calls for.

What? First off that wanting to see a dunker in the starting lineup thing is a mental thing so yea. Secondly allstar games usually score about 150 point, my point is in an allstar game it would be pretty damn hard to get 150pts of dunks. So what does that mean, yup a lot of threes sprinkled with the occasional alley oop and fast break dunk and seeing a big man hit stepback three's with ease is pretty damn fun to watch. SO GO VOTE FOR KEVIN LOVE

lasoogneypubes being voted to the starters represents that you're playing the best at your position in the conference. if you want awesome dunks and no defense watch and1. 1. chris paul / tony parker / damian lillard 2. james harden / steph curry 3. kd 4. kevin love / lamarcus aldridge 5. dwight howard / demarcus cousins / anthony davis 1. kyrie irving / john wall 2. paul george / dwayne wade 3. lebron james / jeff green 4. carmelo anthony / chris bosh 5. roy hibbert / andre drummond pretty simple this year

sharmarke ahmed Ok *first off* of course wanting to see a dunker in the starting lineup is a mental thing. Could it be a physical thing somehow? Could I think that with my armpit? Oh and it's pretty damn easy to get to 150 points without shooting threes because *they don't play defense in the All Star game*. Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 on two pointers in one game. Use your head.

original don If I want awesome dunks and no defense I'll watch the NBA All Star game thank you. When has it been about more than that? Every time I watch the All Star game that's *exactly* what it's about. It's funny that you seem to think that the players would actually risk injury playing tough defense on each other. Also being voted as the All Star starter does not mean that you are the best at your position. It means you're the most popular. Why? Because the *fans* are in total control of the vote. So anyone that looks at the All Star starters and immediately assumes that those are the best players don't follow basketball. It shouldn't be an insult to Kevin Love that he'll be coming off the bench because everybody knows who the best is. I mean that too he is absolutely *not* overrated and gets the credit he deserves all the time.

Different system, different body

Clips because Rubio passed to Pekovic instead of Love for final shot and Pekovic bricked it.

He's a good basketball player? Put him in any game filled with non-pro players and he would dominate

This was over a year ago lol

Comments last forever :)

He's 6 10-11 and 260. Seems fine to me. Maybe in the future he should trim down, but right now? Hell no. He uses that to get boards. Nobody in the league except Pekovic, James, Andre Drummond, Dwight Howard has that physical body, albeit kevin love isn't toned.

***** DJ, Drummond and Dwight are all centers. He probably won't be boxing any of them out anyway, but still a good point. Besides he isn't even fat. Anyone see his body issue pictures? It was kinda gross to look at 'cause I'm straight, but the guy's fit as hell.

LMAOO

You don't like Dawk Ins videos?? How is that even possible?

Not his fault is it?
