i will never understand the devotion to Kevin love. I like him. I think he has an interesting skill set as a stretch 4 and great rebounder. But he's bad defensively and he's never played in a freaking playoff game 6 years into his career. Blame the t-wolves front office, blame the western conference, but a top 10 player can elevate his team to an 8 seed once in 6 years.

I really think that love is the great white hype. People want so badly for him to be awesome so white fans can have a white superstar. And I'm white! I just don't care what color skin my NBA star has, as long as he's dominating.

Look at his numbers.

Look at their roster.

Look at where they play.

Wow. Good luck finding a team that has drafted shitier players than the TWolves. They aren't a team that top free agents are going to go to so they have to draft their way to the top. You can't get to the top by surrounding one of the best players in the league with top 6 picks like Ricky Rubio, Johnny Flynn, Wesley Johnson, and Derrick Williams.

Also, Love has started 282 games and has 256 Double Doubles. The main concern I would have is his injury history. He has missed more than 20% of his games in 6 seasons.
