Kevin Love on being the third guy behind Lebron and Kyrie in Cleveland's 'big 3'

[JohnMax]

Basically he had to sacrifice in Cleveland even though he felt like he could have been the 2nd option. He doesn't regret going to or staying in Cleveland because of the championship he won in 2016, but he admitted to taking it personal when he would get the finger pointed at them for losing/struggling. He pretty much confirmed his role in the offense was to stand in the corner and be a spot up shooter and that he'd go "8 minutes without touching the ball". He didn't initially think he'd get Bosh'd but quickly found out that's exactly what he'd signed up for and had to adapt.

Seems like a huge generalization. He used to get in the post and cut a lot too. He generally wasn't reliable in the playoffs although that defense on Steph at end of game was good. Didn't watch the clip.

He didn’t get more touches because he was terrible. Even jr Smith was more reliable

It's always amusing to me how a player who's narrative dominantly includes "making everyone better" and being "unselfish" always has the people he's supposed to "make better" talk about "sacrificing" to play with him.

Kevin Love had inflated stats in Minnesota because he played on a scrub team. Same with Bosh. These are ball dominant players too don’t forget. LeBron in 2016 had the goat playoff run. So what you think is when LeBron was down 3-1 vs the warriors That they would have been better off giving 9ppg Kevin love more shots? No fvcking way.

"he felt like he could"

He was wrong. If you can't even cut it as a 3rd option...

Kevin Love was undefeated in his playoff career, until Lebron registered him his first loss in 2016 vs Toronto Raptors.
