This sounded like a Dusty Rhodes promo, but Kevin Love was being honest. He pointed out all the positives in playing with LeBron, the most important one being the winning, but he was brutally honest about some of the issues he faced playing with The King.
Here is what he said other superstars would have to look forward to if they sign with Lakers.
“You have to follow. You have to learn a lot about that,” he said.
“[Playing with LeBron] you’re not the top guy. I just tried to continue to be myself and not fake it. I said how I felt,” Love said. “Whether we disagreed or agreed, my voice was heard.”
“You have to be resilient. I had a lot of hard nights. There were dark times,” Love said. “But I always believed keep fighting, I was stubborn about it. And LeBron makes sure you have a chance to win every year. He’s gotten a lot of guys rings. You’re going to win at the highest level. We won and we bonded and we’re going to continue this brotherhood.”
This could be the reason why lower level guys flock to LeBron but some of the higher level NBA players rather try to do it on their own.
