Kevin Love Admits Handshake With Kyrie Irving Looked Bad

Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving came under some heavy criticism following the Cavaliers' victory over the New Orleans Pelicans earlier this week with this handshake, which looked like the two were smoking a joint.

Love insists that was not the case.

“I don’t know why it was so hard for people to realize we were actually curling our mustache. I guess because I had my fingers in the wrong place,” Love told the Akron Beacon Journal. “But looking at the tape, film don’t lie. It does look like we’re doing something bad, but that’s not the case.”

Love also used to opportunity to shoot down the rumors that he's thought about joining the Los Angeles Lakers after the season.

“Whatever we were doing with our hands was about as true as me going to the Lakers,” he said. “Going to the Lakers, I don’t know where someone got that.”

The Cavaliers face off against the Boston Celtics tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET.
