Both players poured their hearts into their cities, and it seems as if Love is finally getting the appreciation he deserves. In a heartbreaking announcement, the five-time All-Star revealed that his father passed away the day before game four of Miami’s first-round matchup with the Cavs.

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love announced on Instagram that his father Stan, a former player for the Los Angeles Lakers, had sadly passed away. Love missed the final portion of the season as well as the Heat’s playoff loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers to be with his family.
