For Kevin Love, 29 was a big year on and off the court.

Last year, the forward/center helped take the Cavaliers to their fourth-straight NBA Finals before signing a long-term contract extension in July to give the Wine & Gold veteran leadership for the foreseeable future.

There's no doubt he deserved it; in his four years with the Cavs, KLove has appeared in 271 games (all starts) with Cleveland, while averaging a double-double with 17.1 points and 10.0 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per contest. Last season, specifically, he posted 17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds, averaging a near double-double while earning his second consecutive All-Star nod as a Cavalier.
