Kevin Love: King of the Trick Shot?

The Minnesota Timberwolves are expecting great things from rookie Kevin Love. And if this video is any indication, he won't disappoint.

Anyone think any of those shots were faked? The ball does go out of frame for most of them. I'm going to say that the video's legit, and hell, if the reporter dude is getting that excited about it, let's hope they were real. While these are definitely some nice shots, in my opinion Love's still got a ways to go before he reaches Rasheed Wallace territory.

This is definitely fake. The ball goes hits the rim and goes through the net the same way after every shot

Fake. And the acting by that reporter was horrible. Though his face spasmed with joy, his inner soul looked unmoved.

Yes, those full court shots were absolutely sick.

Of course it's fake, this was done for an online Topps program that seems to be a comedy featuring the Sklar brothers. It's also telling to see the arc and height of the ball not match how it came off Love's hand or foot.

Every single shot he takes is not seen as it hits it's peak height. there is no question Love is talented, but his not a magician. Above the camera, there is someone to catch the ball and shoot it at the basket at a closer range. It looks good though.
