    Basketball is a TEAM sport, and Love is a loser.

    Hey guys, don't try stats on him. He thinks that because Love has better stats that he's the better PF. He thinks it's mutually exclusive. 12-13, 22-4. How can the best PF be on a losing team just because of stats? They go hand in hand, Love is ONE OF THE best, but not the best because he doesn't make his teammates better... or win games.

    He's fantastic for my fantasy team, though. That's gotta be worth something, I guess.

    Zach Randolph was never the best Power Forward at a young age... or at any age...

    I just really, really want LaMarcus to destroy Love tonight, beating the Wolves is always a good feeling. Never liked Kevin Love...seems like a guy who'd have a hard time remembering the names of his teammates. LaMarcus needs to take him down a few pegs tonight.

    Yeah he is. Love isn't in the MVP conversation BECAUSE of LMA, and because his team is crummy around him. So... I don't know what to tell you. :)

    Completely agree. That is why David West, David Lee, Serge Ibaka, and Kenneth Faried are all better than Love.... oh wait...

    I'm trying not to hate Kevin Love just cause of his dumbo fans, but it's becoming increasingly difficult.

    West, Lee and ibaka aren't the best player of their team.

    Next...

    Part of that that sentence is true, and it is not the part about LMA.

    No, Aldridge is doing better. He outscores his counterpart by 13.3 PTS/48 compared to Love outscoring his counterpart by 9.1 PTS/48. Oh, and Aldridge is doing it on a winning team.

    Putting up big individual numbers on a crap team is meaningless. How long have you been a Wolves fan? Remember a guy named Tony Campbell? He was a 7th man on the Lakers, went to the Timberwolves in the expansion draft and averaged 23 ppg. He was later traded to the Knicks (who were good at the time) and went back to averaging 7 ppg coming off the bench.

    Of course, Love is better than Tony Campbell, but his individual stats are inflated because he's "The Man" on a losing team.

    Debatable.

    I'd take Lillard. I'd take Lillard over any point guard not name Paul and Parker.

    Okay then let's just use your argument.

    Lee, ibaka, and west aren't even the second best player on their clubs.

    Worst example? Wouldn't you want your player to score much better than the player they go against?

    The point is you can't point at the record for the determining factor in player to player comparison.
