Let's see him after the first 82 first.
Let me start by saying that I don't like Kevin Love. His comments about being the best power forward in the game annoyed me. But his recent play suggests that he is actually doing something to back up his y statement. So that brings us to what some might consider a leap - but it's a legit question based on how he has carried the T Wolves: Can Kevin Love rank up there with some of the greatest power forwards of all time? He lacks any appreciable hardware, but it's hard to ignore what he's been doing this season. His stats are beyond incredible.
Is he close to Barkley, Malone, Mchale in the greater scheme of things or can he be? Can you even compare those guys to Love? He's on a mediocre team. The others were all on great teams. Is he better than Aldridge, Griffin or even Timmy right now? Personally I think he is right up there in the current NBA if not at the very top, but despite his ridiculous stats, he isn't approaching Mailman or round mound status yet. There's also that x-factor the legends have brought to their teams - clutchness and winning that I have not seen from Love yet.
Thoughts?

You think he would diminish in a full season or the opposite?
I think after the first 82 he'll find they won't let him breath and he'll have nary back up plan.
A PF or C with no D isn't close to the greats
His defense is atrocious so he will never be considered among the greats. I can't believe some Minny fans are already saying he's better than KG
^The KG bar is truncated. Justifiably.
