Breaking News: “So Sorry”: Lindsey Vonn Heartbroken as Kevin Love & NBA Community Mourn Loss of Lakers’ Legend...see more

Longtime college coach Jim Harrick almost had his trusted friend, Stan Love, for one of those psycho dads.

Reason being, Stan had the conventional wisdom of every other ambitious parent:

“I think my son is really good.” Only Stan here was different — the ninth pick in the 1971 NBA Draft, a former NBA player, including a season and a half with the Lakers.

 

 

So when his son Kevin made it as an UCLA freshman, Kevin had an old-school game that featured outlet passes and low-post moves, the likes of which were last seen in the 70s when Bill Walton starred for the Bruins. But to a great extent, his father kind of backed off.

 

 

It was the 80s. Stan made early efforts but soon realized his son is a “self-starter” after watching him shoot jumper after jumper on his own, outside in the rain at their home Lake Oswego, Oregon.

 

 

“My hands would be all dirty, I’d come in and make the floor all muddy,” the Heat power forward revealed before landing his 1st NBA contract in 2008.

 

 

If not this, Love would hone his passing skills by upping his instinctive game with his dad, or partly by watching cable replays of Magic Johnson during the Los Angeles Lakers’ “Showtime” era.

 

 

He had such singular attention towards getting UCLA its 12th national championship that he refused to have a girlfriend.
