Love: I was screwed in ROY voting.

[CB4]

Timberwolves rookie forward Kevin Love made his displeasure with the Rookie of the Year voting public on Wednesday night.

Love didn't have a problem with Chicago's Derrick Rose winning the award, but he didn't feel as though there were five rookies better than him this past season.

"Pardon my French, but it's the second time I've gotten screwed," Love told the Pioneer Press. "I definitely thought I would finish higher, but after the rookie-sophomore snub, I guess anything can happen."

Love led rookies in rebounding and double-doubles, but five players still finished above him in the voting.

"I guess I just needed to play a little better," Love said. "Maybe a 30th double-double would have made a difference.

" ... I'll take care of my business this summer, either here in Los Angeles or in Minnesota, and come back a better player and try to help my team win. Hopefully, 15 years from now I'll be able to look back on this and laugh."

Shut the fuck up Kevin.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Lol nice comparison.

Seriously, there were plenty of rookies better than Kevin. David Lee got 65 double doubles and you dont hear him complainin about not being one of the top 5 big men in the league.

I'll name Love's 5 rookies better than him.

Derrick Rose
Of course the guy is. He was the ROTY and he is a game changer and will be one of the top NBA players in a year or 2.

Russell Westbrook
He was phenominal for the Thunder in their 1st year. I see alot coming out of him.

Brook Lopez
Hes a great scorer on the post, the guy can rebound, and the guy can block. Great big man.

OJ Mayo
He can shoot the 3, get to the hoop, and shoot the mid range jumper. Hes a scorer.

Michael Beasley:
Duel threat player. He plays nice defense. Hes a post threat and can shoot the 3.

Honorable mentions better than Love:
Eric Gordon and Marc Gasol

Did Kevin do a break-down of things or what? Id put him probably like 6-7th on the rookie list this year.

[Sean]

you play for the T Wolves and wonder why you didnt win, you didnt make the playoffs and you wonder why you didnt win, you practically play the same position as Al Jefferson, and... you get my point

[stevsta]

the guy plays on the t-wolves of course he is going to be overlooked

and to all you guys hating STFU Love was the only player on that team down the stretch but im sure none of you even watch their games lmao homerism FTW
