Why wasn't Kevin Love good enough to make the Team USA cut but Javale was?

[QUOTE=Pip' N Rodman;14393486]He's 32, still in his prime, and rested the whole season, you retarded coach?[/QUOTE]

Usually players are already exiting their prime at 32 or 33 years of age. I believe you’re the retard here, with a clear agenda.

Kevin Love’s best days are well behind him, and as I said he’s coming off a really bad injury, wheels.

If you ever could have used your legs, or get out of your mothers basement, and did actually play, or ”coach”, you wouldn’t be expecting something substantial out of him at this point.

He used up his glory days in Cleveland, having to stand in the corner to accommodate ball dominance and the need to put a big stats from another player. And unfortunately only won one chip in the process.

It’s just a shame he couldn’t play with the greatest of all time as a third option like a Horace Grant, or Dennis Rodman, and win three championships. He played on a team with a losing brand of basketball on the big stage.

[QUOTE=Pip' N Rodman;14393451]Love was literally LeBron's best teammate in 2018 :oldlol:

They picked McGee over him[/QUOTE]

Its a damn shame what happened to Kevin love. A naturally heavy burly dude who could win rebounding titles as a 6'7 white guy and averaging the best points per possession in the post to a skinny p[I]u[/I]ssy spot up shooter all to accommodate bran. Sad stuff.

This is like a “hero” burning down a bridge so he gets the glory for saving the school bus from falling off the cliff.[/QUOTE]
Which is hilarious, because LeBron sucks as a GM as well. I think Andrew Wiggins as a third option and athletic wing perimeter defender would’ve been much more beneficial in basically all of their championship runs in Cleveland. Wiggins didn’t want or need the ball anyway. And Kevin love was reduced to a corner spot up shooter, destroying his confidence. More LeFail from LeGM.

Love's highest 3PA avg per game was higher in Minny than any year he played with the Cavs.

But James made him a spot up shooter. :facepalm

Facts

[QUOTE=Hey Yo;14393535]Love's highest 3PA avg per game was higher in Minny than any year he played with the Cavs.

35.5% of his shots were 3 point attempts that year.

Compare that to 41.2%, 44.9%, 44.9%, and 45.3% of his shots being 3 point attempts the 4 years he played with Lebron.

So yes. Lebron did make him a spot up shooter.

Love is damaged goods

[QUOTE=warriorfan;14393499]Kevin Love was a rebounding champion who was putting up numbers only matched by prime Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Kevin Love holds the record for the most consecutive games with a double double in the modern post merger era. He was a beast that LeBron tried to turn into a perimeter spot up shooter. He lost a lot of weight to try to fit into bran ball and started to break down and hasn’t been the same sense.

In his last season in Minny before playing with LeBron James, Kevin Love averaged 26.1/12.5/4.4/.591 TS%

The only 2 players to ever have that stat line are

1. Prime Kareem Abdul Jabbar in 72
2. Kevin Love 14


In summary: Kevin Love was a future ATG who’s career was derailed by LeBron ball[/QUOTE]
2014 Love was an absolute monster

I would take that version of Love damm near every Power forward ever.

It's definitely a flaw in LeBrons play style that players have to adjust and change there games to accommodate Lebron

Team USA believes Javale >> Love :oldlol:

Peak Wiggins is worse than peak Kevin Love lol.

Not sure what point you are trying to make.

Love has never been a highly impactful player. Thankfully LeBron taught him how to play winning basketball.

Inferior players always have to adapt when playing with a top tier player. That has always been the case throughout NBA history.

That makes zero sense lol.

Love's previous play style was simply not conducive to winning.
