Timberwolves fans can’t bring themselves to burn Kevin Love’s jersey
Comedian Mike Brody and his friends put together a video in which they wanted to go all hostile over the fact that All-Star power forward Kevin Love is leaving the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Love, who made it known that he’d be opting out of his contract after this upcoming season to test free agency, will be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers later this month for No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins, second-year forward Anthony Bennett and a protected first-round draft pick in 2015.
But as you can see from the video clip, there just isn’t the same kind of resentment for Love as there was for LeBron James when he left Cleveland for the Miami Heat four years ago. And the Minnesotans can only bring themselves to pretend to burn Love’s jersey.
James, of course, has returned to the Cavaliers and with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and Love will have a new Big 3.
Brody, who moved to Minneapolis after college, and his colleagues get in several great quips regarding the Timberwolves and Love.
Not to mention taking a shot at former NBA veteran Tom Gugliotta.
