Western Conference coaches on Thursday invited Timberwolves forward Kevin Love to his second NBA All-Star Game, one year after Commissioner David Stern named him as an injury replacement for his first.
“It definitely feels different,” Love said on Thursday evening.
It feels different because his team has won more times in 24 games during this lockout-shortened season than it did in the first 48 games a year ago.
It feels different because he had an “inkling” coaches would select him and because he was invited Thursday morning to appear on TNT’s announcement show hours later that night.
He’ll also soon accept an offer to participate in All-Star weekend’s three-point shooting contest.
