A whole lotta Love
Bob Lipper
Apr 04, 2008

  Greetings from San Antonio.  It’s the eve of the Final Four, and the teams have convened in the Alamodome for hour-long practice sessions heavy on entertainment value for assembled spectators anxious for a (free) glimpse of the players.  By miles, the loudest cheer came when UCLA freshman center Kevin Love drained a chest-pass shot from the opposite end line—94 feet from the basket.  OK, he’d missed the shot a dozen or more times before sinking it, but still.  Following the make, Love bowed to his teammates and the audience, a broad grin on his face.  Great player.  Great presence.  During a media session, someone asked him about the Beach Boys (his uncle, Mike Love, is one of their lead singers) and how the group resonates with his teammates.  “I don’t think [Serbian forward] Nikola Dragovic or the Cameroonians [forwards Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Alfred Aboya] even know who the Beach Boys are,“ Love said.
