Minnesota's best man gets no love, votes

Kevin Love is averaging 21 points, 15 rebounds and is shooting 45 percent from three-point range. 

Let’s Play the love game, play the love game, do you want love or you want fame? Put Kevin Love in the All-Star game.

The Western Conference starters were announced. Congrats to Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Yao Ming. Wait, Yao Ming? This is the unfortunate side of letting fans vote for the All-Star game. Yao Ming has seen about as much action as Steve Carell in The 40-year-old Virgin.

While the reserves haven’t been announced yet, Love should get an opportunity. Some argue that the All-Star game is for the best players from winning teams but last I’ve checked the Houston Rockets are 22-26.

Yes, the Minnesota Timberwolves are awful. Yes, I can’t blame Ricky Rubio for avoiding a state that’s considered Frosty the Snow Man’s vacation spot. But give the fans in Minnesota something to cheer for.

Love plays basketball with an old soul. It’s like watching Robert Parish, Kevin McHale and Bill Laimbeer reincarnated into Kevin Love. Love was the first player in 28 years to post 30 points and 30 rebounds since Moses freaking Malone. Chris Bosh needs to take notes.

Fans may not want to watch Love in the All-Star game but they can at least smell like him.
