Cleveland Cavaliers forward, Kevin Love, appeared on FS1’s First Things First with Cris Carter, Nick Wright and Jenna Wolfe on Friday. Among other topics, the five-time All-Star discussed the four years he spent playing alongside LeBron James from 2014-18. Specifically, Love recalled the run that LeBron went on last season during the Cavaliers march to the NBA Finals. After playing in all 82 games during the regular season for the first time in his career–at the age of 33–James then went on to average 34 points, 9.1 rebounds and nine assists over 22 playoff games. It was during that postseason stretch when Love came to the bench to tell his teammates that he believed they were witnessing the best player to ever lace them up.

"Playing with LeBron the last 4 years, there were times I'd go to the bench during a timeout and say to guys 'I think we're watching the best ever. This is wild.' That's just what he brings to the table every single night." — @kevinlove pic.twitter.com/BrNwnKJokv — First Things First (@FTFonFS1) May 3, 2019

“Playing with LeBron the last four years, there were times I’d go to the bench during a timeout and say to guys ‘I think we’re watching the best ever. This is wild.” Love said on First Things First. “That’s just what he brings to the table every single night.”

With all the talk surrounding the elite level that Kevin Durant has been playing at during the Golden State Warriors postseason run thus far, Love’s message in part was to remind us of how great LeBron has truly been as recently as last year. During the 81 postseason games that Love played alongside LeBron in Cleveland, James averaged 31 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.2 assists. That consistently dominant production resulted in four-straight NBA Finals appearances and one championship. It’s the type of accomplishments that should never be diminished, even if Durant is tearing up the league while LeBron and his Lakers sit this one out.
