The Unlikely Meme Mastermind
As we head into the weekend, let’s take a moment to appreciate the unsung hero of the NBA – Kevin Love’s Instagram account. For the past month, Love has been consistently posting hilarious movie and viral social media clips, perfectly timed to coincide with major events involving the Heat.
From “Fight” to Funny
It all started after Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier’s infamous “brawl” with Amen Thompson, which was more like a gentle push followed by a chorus of “Hold me back!” Love saw an opportunity to poke fun at the situation and ran with it, posting a series of laugh-out-loud clips.
The Uncut Gems of Meme Culture
Fast-forward to yesterday, when news broke about Terry Rozier’s possible involvement in a betting scandal. You guessed it – Love was on it, firing off a top-tier Uncut Gems reference that left fans in stitches. His initial caption, “Ayo T*rry- fuck goin’ on?” was later edited to remove the Terry reference, perhaps to avoid any, ahem, “heat” from his teammate.
The Jimmy Butler Saga
Love’s magnum opus, however, has been his relentless coverage of the Jimmy Butler situation. With a plethora of posts that showcase his comedic genius, it’s clear he’s been having the time of his life.
The Ultimate Glue Guy
With 8 DNPs in his last 10 games, Love has had ample time to focus on his meme game. And focus he has, becoming the ultimate glue guy in the locker room and beyond. While other players might be fighting for minutes on the court, Love is content with good WiFi and a clever caption.
A Class Act
Credit to Love for taking his reduced role in stride and embracing his new status as the team’s resident meme lord. It’s not often you see a player of his caliber adapt so graciously to a bench role. Instead of lobbying for more playing time, Love is busy making us laugh and earning our admiration.
Remembering Prime Kevin Love
Let’s not forget, though, that Love was once a dominant force on the court. As we enjoy his current antics, let’s take a moment to appreciate the incredible talent that was prime Kevin Love.
