Kevin Love compares himself to Shaq
Saturday, August 4, 2012 at 1:00PM
After setting all kind of records in their 83-point win over Nigeria on Thursday, Team USA men's basketball team won a nail-biter over Lithuania 99-94 on Saturday. Lithuania actually led 84-82 with 5:50 to play! After the game USA forward Kevin Love took to Twitter to rip on his 3-8 free throw shooting performance in the Lithuania game. Love tweeted out the following: "Shaq on the free throw line today!!! My bad USA. Good win for us. Needed a game like that. On to the next." Hopefully @SHAQ will have a reply!

You couldn't wear Shaq's shoes both figuratively and literally.
After you get HALF the NBA awards and championships that Shaq has than you could get away with this stupid statement. Until then just play basketball and try not to lose to Mexico or some other insignificant team.
Hey bubby, So Cal fan here - in this day & age, it is best to not make comments that invole other players.
You never know ho others will take what your statement means. You should have a PR guy to review & go over your comments before they are put out - your are too high profile & people are going to rip on you.
Why is Love even on team U.S.A.???
Haters.
Why would the new Christian Laetner want beef with Shaq?
Why are you guys hating on Kevin Love all the sudden ... Dont know if you noticed but he is a Pretty Damn good ball player and will end up in the hall if his numbers stay were they are ... Haters wil be haters though ... Love is on the olympic team cause he belongs there ... just like you belong on your couch watching the olympics putz
Man Kevin Love is pretty good. Not Shaq at all tho. Even if his numbers stay around 25 and 12 he still aint Shaq. Peopel forgot how good Shaq really was after he went to Pheonix and Boston. Smh he def ruined his legacy.
Guys, Shaq is a legendary bad free throw shooter. Love was just saying he had a shaq-esque time at the line tonight. Wasn't comparing himself to the good part of shaq's career. Get your panties out of a bunch.
BSacs is right. If you guys couldn't see the sarcasm, you're either retarded, or blinded by hate. Just sayin'!
