Kevin Love is a five-time All-Star, including three appearances as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He left Minnesota amidst rumors of a trade request, and after several months of will-they-or-won’t-they, Flip Saunders sent Love to Cleveland in exchange for three players, including current Wolf and No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins.
Since heading to Cleveland, Love has been a lightning rod for criticism; much of it unfair and some of it deserved.
One of the items that ultimately fell into the category of being plainly unfair was when Kevin Love abruptly left the court and headed to the locker room during a game against Atlanta last fall.
