Kevin Love Unimpressed With Shawn Kemp's Unimpressededness

Blake Griffin's over-the-car effort to win last weekend's Slam Dunk Contest is still generating conversation. Look no further than Shawn Kemp's criticism of Griffin's dunk, calling it "the weakest dunk in the dunk contest that I've seen in a long time."

So far in his NBA career, Griffin has taken to just playing his game and not responding to any comments, criticisms or hard fouls from opponents. In this instance, it's Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves coming to Griffin's defense via Twitter:

Kemp does know a thing or two about putting on a show in the dunk contest. However, it's hard to disagree with Love since the last time most of us saw the Reign Man, he'd grown into a rather large thunderstorm. Although with Michael Jordan working out and rumors that Rasheed Wallace might be back in a Celtics uniform, maybe Kemp might consider putting down the burgers and picking up some weights.

Smell Like Kevin Love!

So far in his young NBA career, Kevin Love has made cameo appearances on Entourage and The Suite Life on Deck and gone ESPN (30-for-30) on the New York Knicks. But what hasn't Minnesota's newest superstar done? Well he hasn't played in an All-Star Game and he hasn't pimped his own fragrance.

Now he's trying to kill both birds with one stone. Behold the promo for Numb#rs by Kevin Love...

The 612 All-Star Collection that promotes and distributes Love's line of men's grooming products put together a pretty sharp looking website, complete with a dapper looking Love perfecting his vacant fashion model stare. But keep scrolling down and it turns into a promotional campaign for Love's All-Star candidacy. 

The timing for the fragrance is pretty good. With Valentine's Day just a couple of weeks away fellas, there's plenty of time for your lady to pick up a bottle or two. As for the All-Star timing...not so much. Despite a late swell of support from fans and writers, Love is still ninth amongst Western Conference forwards - a loaded position to be sure. But even if he can't be an All-Star, he'll at least smell like one.
