Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love believes he and his fellow athletes have an obligation to step up amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"Obviously it's been an incredibly stressful time for a number of people," Love said Wednesday on Today. "As the show just mentioned, a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck. So I felt this is really the time, especially for us NBA players, to walk the walk and be more than athletes. ... It's more of a time for us to step up and be community leaders and do what's right for the people that are having a very stressful and tough time.
