(VIDEO) Kevin Love Talks Championship, Working Out In Utah, His Shoulder, And Paddleboarding

Hey Kev, how was Utah and training at 7,000 feet above sea level? Did you learn anything cool?

Kev: Yeah, watch this.

This video trailer comes via The Players Tribune and chronicles Kevin Love’s summer of training and rehabbing his shoulder. The full video gets released tomorrow (which we’ll post here as well) and seems like it’ll must-see TV.

Like I’ve said before, the things I find most interesting about sports are the behind the scenes stuff. I want to see the locker room speeches, hear the players mic’ed up on the sidelines, or see the players practicing or working out. The games are obviously the best part, but I’m particularly drawn to what happens when the games aren’t going on.

“Moving forward, I think everybody on our team 1-15, 1-14, 1-13… we feel like we have unfinished business and that’s to win a championship and hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy”

I just got irrationally excited for this Cavs season.

PS- Look at my man here repping 70s like it ain’t no thing. I see you, Kev.

Josh Gordon Is Killing His Workouts During His “Vacation”

Nice to see Josh Gordon spending his “vacation” in the gym staying in shape for next season. He doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt but maybe, just maybe, he can come back next season bigger, faster, and stronger. Imagine if Touchdown McCown had Gordon split out wide during Sunday’s game, he probably would have thrown for 900 yards.

I’m an admitted Josh Gordon apologist so I’m really really rooting for the dude.

PS- As someone who did crossfit 4 times a week this summer I’ve gotta say his power clean form needs a little work. More hips, faster elbows… Annnnnd with that sentence I’m officially “corrects people’s form at the gym” guy.

PPS- In all honesty Josh has probably been more productive than Dwayne Bowe has this season.

Shump is taking no prisoners this year

Nothing really earth shattering about these videos but it’s nice to see Shump working hard at his old stomping grounds of Georgia Tech. It’s just nuts to me how good a pro athlete is at doing a normal thing like a dribbling drill. If you or I tried to do that we’d trip and fall and probably break our jaw. Shump isn’t even really known for his ballhandling in the NBA but you can see just how good he really is compared to the average Joe. I’d love to see Kyrie do one of these (not till January though)

Also:

Shump’s hair is back to normal for now
