Kevin Love Bettering Himself

       Kevin Love. The player who came from the Timberwolves traded to the Cavaliers lottery draft pick Andrew Wiggins. Most Cavalier fans liked the fact they traded someone young for Kevin's years in the NBA and basketball IQ. Kevin has not yet been to the NBA playoffs though. Which may run across your mind that it is basically the same type of player that Andrew Wiggins is, besides that Love is not a rookie. He is a three point shooting big man who can crash the boards and give you better numbers than Wiggins probably could. But, what makes Kevin Love a better player and a fit for the Cavaliers roster? Let me start by saying that he is a power forward, three point threat, and who will crash the boards for you every night. That is not the only thing though. He is also staying healthy by eating right. Kevin Love is recently dieting on low carbs diet something similar to LeBrons diet. Sports Illustrated went in Kevin Loves fridge and saw what he had to eat and asked what he eats before and after games. What Kevin Love has in his fridge is mainly protein and starts off his morning with a organic eggs or egg whites. Then after he eats grilled chicken to absorb protein and build muscle. Love also puts in mixed fruit two or three times a day with his meals. Love also loves his mothers cooking which everyone practically can not say no to a mothers cooking. His fridge also has plenty of bottled water or his favorite sports drinks which is BodyArmor. Which helps you refuel and get the right electrolytes and vitamins. Sports drinks are healthier than soda and other carbonated drinks, but it still does not beat water if you are trying to lose weight. Sports drinks have sugar in them and that will still keep you at the same weight or make you gain if you drink sports drinks constantly just because player like Love do. Kevin Love has a pre game meal which includes concoction of shredded wheat topped with almond butter, jam and applesauce with a cup of coffee. Coffee has caffeine and could slow down your running, believe me it really does considering that I am A basketball player myself. After game meals he eats Salmon filet or white fish, veggies and a protein shake to recover from games. These high protein meals with help with healthy muscle recovery. This is what Kevin Love is doing off the court to better himself. After last nights loss to the San Antonio Spurs Kevin Love said, "Both ends of the floor, I think I need to step up." We are watching Love grow into a player than he needs to be, better than the player that people saw in Minnesota.
