Any time KLove gets the ball inside, he looks like he's trying to escape from a too tight sleeping bag.
And dont think you realize just how good of a player Aldridge actually is. He's the best PF in the NBA. Check back w me the next time LA tries taking his shit inside and gets it sent to Loudville 3-5x/night. Also, we start haveing a convo when Love isn't actually playing like dog shit (yes, I know they're using him like I use a vibrator on Jig - soft, gentile, and like a pussy).
I know how good Aldridge is. I also know Aldridge was being called a disappointment until the team got good a few years ago. Let's look at Best Aldridge versus Best Love. Let's break it down and take it out of the "I just think he's better" realm.
Here are the best numbers from their careers in every category below. Each number is the best/highest season of their careers, not including this year.
Best Aldridge stats
23/11/3
20.6 FGA per game
51%/31%/82%

So, even though Aldridge had one season with about a 1.0% Usage rate higher than any Love has had, and even though Aldridge has had a year where he took 1.3 more field goal attempts beyond any FGA per game season Love has had, Aldridge still can't come close to Love's top level. It's really no contest. And as I said before, even Bosh has had better years than Aldridge has.
Let me know if and when Aldridge breaks a 23.0 PER or a .175 win shares per 48 minutes number. Meanwhile, Love has had 3 such seasons in each category even though he's played two fewer career seasons than Aldridge has.
Aldridge is about 6 months younger than LeBron. Love is about 3.5 years younger than LeBron.
I respect Aldridge, but he is not in Love's league as a player. Doesn't rebound as well, can't shoot the three, isn't as efficient. Aldridge is a good player, but Love is clearly better.
