I was completely wrong. I was so mad at Kevin Love for leaving UCLA after a year. I was still mad even when he was picked #5 overall. I argued that his glory years were in college. If he truly wanted to make his mark and be GREAT, he had to do it in at UCLA. I thought he could be LEGEND here, but he gave it up for money and mediocrity there. I thought that this 6-7 1/2 white guy would probably average a solid 10-12 points and 7-8 rebounds at most and be a good contributor in the NBA, but never an allstar. No way. NEVER.
This season stats: 21.4 points a game (16th leading scorer), 15.4 rebounds per game (overall NBA leader by a whopping 1.9 rebounds). 43.9% 3 point shooting (10th overall), 43 double-doubles on the season (1st overall by 3 games over Blake Griffin).
So, I hereby apologize to Kevin Love for saying what I said and believing what I believed. Congrats. You made the right decision. You are THE man.
