The 6-foot-10 Love learned to **** his arm and fire the ball when he was little.

"I used to shoot like that because I played with my brother -- three grades up -- when I first started organized basketball," he explained. "I couldn't quite get the ball to 10 feet, so I had to shoot like that. I shot at a very high rate and made a lot of shots, and that's kind of how that accuracy developed."

Love's parents also would not allow him to play football, so he worked off any frustrations on the basketball court.
