Column: A more mature Kevin Love opens up about mental health, being traded and LeBron James
Anthony Davis has played a valuable role in helping LeBron James turn back the clock on his game and showcase an elite level of consistency and production.“It was after my panic attack and going to see a therapist that led me to talk about everything that I’ve dealt with over time,” Love said.
“That’s what led me to share my story, which led me to seeing what a vast community there is out there, which lead me to create my own fund and doing so much research and continuing to absorb all the information out there and paying it forward. I realize I have a great opportunity to help people.” Love will not return to Los Angeles until Jan 13, when the Cavaliers will take on James and the Lakers, but he is keeping close tabs on his old teammate in his old city.
“They’re meshing in a real good way, and Kyle Kuzma is figuring out his role now too,” Love said. “Once he gets up to speed and other guys get up to speed, they’re really going to be rolling and they’re already clicking as it is with LeBron and [Anthony Davis]. Dwight [Howard] has really played well too. They’re a fun team to watch. Any team with LeBron is going to be a fun team to watch, but he’s leading them and he has been super efficient.
Love was a 25-year-old, three-time All-Star averaging 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds in Minnesota when he was traded to Cleveland to be the third piece of the Cavaliers’ Big Three. While Kuzma isn’t at that level, Love believes Kuzma’s ability to adapt to his third-man role on the Lakers — as Love was able to in Cleveland — will be a big key to the Lakers’ success this season.“The key with being that third guy is taking advantage of the opportunity,” Love said.
