Career timeline, milestones, and place among all-time greats.
An NBA title, five All-Star nods, and a rebounding rate that once rivaled the league's biggest men despite playing much of his prime as an undersized center — Kevin Love's career reads in two distinct chapters. Born September 7, 1988, in Santa Monica, California. Height 6 ft 10 in (208 cm).
He played one season at UCLA before being drafted 5th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2008 and immediately traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he became one of the league's most productive rebounders before a 2014 trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers to join LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. He later played for the Miami Heat and Utah Jazz.
Love won the NBA championship with Cleveland in 2016 and made five All-Star teams, twice earning All-NBA Second Team honors (2012, 2014). He led the league in rebounding once (2011) and won the Most Improved Player award the same year. He is the only player in NBA history to average at least 10 rebounds per game for a career while also making more than 1,000 career three-pointers.
Career totals: 989 games and 18 seasons, averaging 15.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
He won gold medals with Team USA at the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics.
