The 32-year-old power forward Kevin Love is a star in Cleveland. He was a part of the 2015-16 Cavaliers squad that ended Cleveland’s 52-year-old trophy drought. Kevin had just re-signed with the Cavaliers ahead of the 2015-16 NBA season after opting out of the contract. Kevin helped the Cavaliers top the Eastern Conference that season and reach the NBA finals to face defending champions, Golden State Warriors.
However, despite a fantastic regular season, Kevin Love couldn’t make much difference in the NBA finals. He even suffered a concussion in Cleveland’s 2nd game and missed the third game in the process.
