Nice pic
Love looks thin. Looks like he’s using his time off wisely.
He was pretty lean
Most of last season as well. He’s got a big body, but he’s not the pudgy guy everyone used to think him to be.

This sounds goofy,
but did Kevin Love just have a trendy jaw-breaking “fix” to his bite that’s going to affect our perception of how in shape he is? His face is part of what looks different, right?
I see this surgery more and more, but have no idea how medically (or dentally) necessary it is. Strikes me as something of an orthodontic addition to what we’re accepting as quasi-necessary surgery… We didn’t used to think every kid needed braces, but now they’re “recommended” for everyone. More and more teenagers – two kids in the same family, even – are getting these “bite fix” surgeries.
I was thinking
his face looked radically different (not just hey-I-lost-a-lot-of-weight different). And his underbite seems magically gone.
Methinks you’re on to something.

I'd forward you to his 1:1 interview with Jonah Ballow, where the face was striking,
but it’s down for the lockout, so….
Kevin Love had an underbite, all right:
He had the dental surgery, I know we’ve seen that in a few places. But does he look like himself now? After:

I still don’t recognize her for a few minutes when I see her.

It's a haunting example.
That’s a La Moustache sort of a thing. (Odd little movie: Man shaves his trademark handlebar mustache, ready for a change. His wife doesn’t comment. He asks why. She’s puzzled – denies he ever had one. And his sense of identity begins to crumble….)
I'm actually scheduled to have that bite fix surgery around September.
I visited two different oral surgeons who both told me that it would be a good surgery to get. They told me that, in addition to cosmetic purposes, there is also a health benefit.

Seems like a new elective surgery that's being suggested, a lot.
I’m not sure what to think about this. The two teenagers I know from the same family have a kind of a sad sack mother, who told me about how she’d had her kids too late in life and this was one of the consequences…. That didn’t make much sense to me, at the time, but I did feel bad for the kids who apparently needed this traumatic intervention. Now I just don’t know. Maybe she was an easy sell.
Be interesting to know how many health problems were identified as related to “bad bites” in the past, as opposed to now when this surgery is the proposed solution to those problems.
(If you can ask for a specific look, go for the #42 option.)
Actually
they both look kind of normal sized. They need a point guard in there with them for scale.

I'd say to toss in Jeff Van Gundy, but he wouldn't last a day in prison.

Then the world would finally be free of Jeff Van Gundy

Yao's gonna retire.
Never fun when injuries rob someone of their career, even if that someone was a genetically engineered freak (remember that SI article that talked about how the Chinese government had the tallest person on the men’s and women’s basketball team mate? good times.)
I liked Yao though. Never was what people thought he could be, but he was still damn good.

Beasley
in the next cell?
I think this is the first time in history one man managed to destroy an entire city by himself. Even the Enola Gay had a flight crew.

Please re-sign Love as soon as the lockout is over
give him the max and pray to God that he wants to stay here.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
