Former NBA forward Stan Love — father of Miami Heat forward Kevin Love — died Sunday. He was 76.
Kevin, who has been away from the Heat for personal reasons, announced the news in an Instagram post Sunday. Kevin referred to Stan as his "greatest teacher" in the post.
A portion of the post read:
"Dad, you fought for a long time. The hardest stretch being these past 6 months. The most painful to witness being these last few weeks. And even at the end as you continued to deteriorate - I still saw you as a Giant.
