Love was actually pretty underrated in Minnesota, tbh..his last year there was pretty ridiculous + they were a top 10 team in the league..
He was also much better defensively, according to most metrics, particularly due to his rebounding..it's probably mostly mental IMO..either change of role contributing to his lazyness, or pressure playing more intense/contending basketball..
Still, though, White American basketball players..this isn't the 80s..
