Featured here is Kevin Love’s game-worn jersey from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ monumental 2015-16 NBA Championship season. The 6’10” power forward sported this nifty gold throwback gamer April 11 at home as the Cleveland defeated the Atlanta Hawks 109-94 at Quicken Loans Arena. The victory was important for the Cavs as they clinched the best record in the Eastern Conference and home-field advantage up to the NBA Finals. Love tallied a double-double in the game with 10 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. He averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds during the regular season. The Cavs marched through the playoffs relatively easily until their epic rematch with Golden State in the 2016 Finals. We all know how that ended. Pandemonium in C-Town. Euphoria throughout the state of Ohio.
The lovely gold mesh throwback has “CAVALIERS” on the front and Love’s No. “0” front and back all coming in Cavs wine tackle twill outlined in white. “LOVE” is sewn directly onto the upper back in wine tackle twill with the embroidered NBA logo patch sewn above. The arms and neck are trimmed with a wine gold and white checkered pattern as are both sides of the shirt. Shirt has appropriate “Adidas climacool Size 3XL” tagging on the front left tail with a LENGTH +4" flag tag. The game date “4/11” is hand-written in black marker (likely by the team equip. manager) on the Player ID panel of the manufacturer’s tag. Adjacent is the NBA Authentication tag with a “CCA 03634” code. A third NBA tag labeled “HWC NIGHTS” [Hardwood Classic] is sewn just above to denote the Cavs throwback uniform worn at the Q that night. Inside the left inseam is the washing instructions and "08/15" manufacturing date tag. The jersey displays appropriate game wear for a laundered shirt in a rare style not regularly part of the rotation.
Love has signed his number on the reverse in black marker. The jersey was obtained through an impeccable NBA source (wishes to remain anonymous) who attests to Kevin signing it in person right after the game. A truly special piece to own from K-Love and the Cavs’ magical “Believeland” title run that finally delivered a championship to the starving city of Cleveland after 52 years of heartache.
