By this post you are just proving to everyone that you have never actually watched Kevin Love play.

If you have watched him play, you would be able to see why hes so highly rated. While his PPG and rebounding numbers are the best in the league for a PF, that isn't only what makes him valuable. Watch what he does without the ball in his hands. Watch him move to areas on the court to open driving lanes for his teammates or get himself a wide open look when its not necessarily part of the play design. Look at his passing skills and his ability to put the ball in situations where his team has an advantage over the defense. Notice his timing on when to get rebounding position under the basket for easy put-backs and defensive boards.
There is no other PF that does what Kevin Love can do offensively for his team while having the rebounding skills to go with it. He was able to do all that while being the #1 defensive target for the TWolves. He is a player that you can watch and use your "eye test" to understand and verify his good stats.

Comparing him to Ryan Anderson is just ignorant, insulting, and just another reason why your posts are always trash giving you that WOAT banner.

and yet he's never been to the playoffs. sorry but kevin love is basura. i've seen more than enough of him. and we'll all NOW get to see almost every night since he's playing with lebron.

another cat i have little to no respect for based on the eye test vs. stats is Blake Griffin. he puts up monster stats that they say he's top 10 in the league and one of the best PFs. yet I personally don't have him anywhere near my top 15 players in the league. and would take several PFs with inferior stats like Zach Randolph, Serge Ibaka, Chris Bosh, and LaMarcus Aldridge over him.

i could keep going. there's many other cats who I think are much inferior than their stats suggest. kevin love just happens to be the most glaring.

yes. i trust my eyes. when i watch kevin love play i see a guy who is decent but nothing special. a slightly better version of ryan anderson. stats however say he's the best PF/big man of the last 10 years. that iw why i trust my eyes over a stat sheet.

No, stats don't say he's been the best PF or best big man of the last 10 years. Quit exaggerating.

Ryan Anderson and Kevin Love are nothing alike except for they're both white PF's that shoot 3's. Other than that their games are nothing alike.

ryan anderson's actually been to the playoffs, so ur right. i am short selling ryan anderson on this one.

I'm sure Love would've been to the playoffs as well if he was playing on a team with Dwight Howard and in the East.

okay, well what details based on your "eye test" make you come to those conclusions?

yea but his defensive stats would say the same. His defensive stats do not suggest he is a good defender. How is he inferior to what his stats are?

This is the first time I've seen Love get criticized on here and not get followed up with universal cosigns other than my own critiques
