Cavs Kevin Love Is Living Up To His Last Name (Video)

Thursday night, Cavaliers rookie forward Cedi Osman got a rare start, amid Cleveland’s nationally televised matchup against the Washington Wizards.

In just 10 minutes per night of action this season, Osman is averaging 3.6 points and 1.8 rebounds, for the 48-30 Cavs.

In an effort to live up to his very unique last name, Kevin Love, Osman’s teammate and fellow forward, gave Osman a huge hug, in the minutes leading up to Thursday’s tipoff at Quicken Loans Arena, in downtown Cleveland.

In the eight games Love has participated in, since returning from a serious hand injury, the UCLA alum has tallied 18 points or greater in five of those contests, while grabbing double-digit rebounds in four of the games.

Will Love’s love calm the nerves of the 22-year-old Macedonian? Cannot hurt I suppose.
