Any NBA player not named Gilbert Arenas usually sucks at blogging. So excuse us for sleeping on Kevin Love's latest GQ blog for a few days. But there was an absolute gem buried in there concerning Love's first trip to an All-Star Game last month. Love relayed a story about how Western Conference coach Gregg Popovich spoke to the team prior to the game and explained why the three All-Star rookies were, well, we'll let Pop tell it. "Guys, we're gonna go out and have fun," he told the team, according to Love. "We're not really gonna run any sets. We're gonna get up and down. And all of you are gonna play a lot and get good minutes—except for probably Russell [Westbrook], Blake [Griffin], and Kevin [Love]. You guys are all fucked." Ummm....OUCH!?![GQ, via SB Nation]
