Timberwolves Roll Out Rookie Of The Year Campaign For Love
Quote:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Kevin Love: The best new product of 2008-09.
At least that's how the Minnesota Timberwolves are touting their excellent rookie forward in a spoof "infomercial" the team is distributing as a campaign for rookie of the year honors.
In the short video that features highlights, stats and plenty of infomercial cheese, Love is touting "Mr. Love Miracle Glass Cleaner," a product he says helps him clean the glass consistently to a streak-free shine.
"I've had so much success that people keep asking me, 'Kevin, how do you keep the backboards so clean?' " Love says in his best impersonation of a campy infomercial host. "Well today, I'm here to share that secret with all of you."
The team has also built a Web site -- www.votemrlove.com -- to show the video and build support for a player who has quietly put up one of the better rebounding seasons by a rookie in league history.
The fifth overall pick who was acquired in a draft-night trade from Memphis in a deal involving O.J. Mayo, Love is averaging 11.2 points and 9.0 rebounds a game this season. Those numbers have been increasing since Al Jefferson went down with a knee injury just before the All-Star break.
