Kevin Love is adoringly remembered in Ohio as a vital member of the legendary Cleveland Cavaliers that made the historic 3-1 comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals. Almost a decade later, the career of the franchise legend is definitively nearing the end of a long journey in the league.
Love started his career as a pro with the Minnesota Timberwolves, where the former top-five pick quickly established himself as a double-double machine. That caught the interest of a Cavaliers team who was hoping to properly equip LeBron James with a strong supporting cast for his second stint in Cleveland.
