Renaissance Man
Kevin Love is a lot of things. To most, he's a basketball player, but beyond that, he's so much more. Love has been on television shows before, notably making appearances on the old Disney Channel show, "The Suite Life on Deck," as well as HBO's "Entourage."Â
He's a editor for the Player's Tribune website, an advocate for mental health, and as charitable as they come. Over the years, the former 5th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft has given back to his alma mater, UCLA, is the form of donations to the athletics and psychology departments, in addition to doing work in local communities. Love eventually went on to establish the "Kevin Love Fund" in 2018, to help mental health causes.Â
Having been honored with awards multiple times throughout his career for work in the community, Love is one of the NBA's true good guys. Elsewhere off the court, you can find Love enjoying one of his favorite beverages, chocolate milk. And it comes as no surprise that Love established himself as an NBA star since success runs in the family. His uncle, Mike Love, is one of the founding members of The Beach Boys.Â
Love has enjoyed a long career in the NBA, but one thing's for certain. When his playing days are over, we'll still be hearing and seeing a lot of this Renaissance man.
