Three Reasons Kevin Love Should Be An All-Star

Kevin Love spent his first six seasons in the association with the Minnesota Timberwolves. During his time in The North Star State, Love was honored as an NBA All-Star three times: in 2011, 2012, and 2014.

Following the 2013-14 season, Love was the product of a three-team trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers. The trade sent the big-man to Cleveland, where he would play alongside fellow All-Stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

The transition to Cleveland wasn’t easy for Love, as he wasn’t accustomed to playing with other all-star level players. While in Minnesota, he had the luxury of being the go-to guy on offense, which is not the case with the Cavaliers.
