"LOL, we'll consider" - Kevin Love's fiance gives hilarious response to LeBron James' plea to get an invite at their wedding
LeBron James' return to Cleveland was eventful as he led the LA Lakers to a 131-120 win over the Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. James recorded a triple-double, while also adding another poster dunk to his highlight reel. However, the dunk came at the expense of friend and former teammate Kevin Love.
The dunk happened with about two minutes left in the second quarter. James cut to the center from the top of the key and received a nice pass from Austin Reaves. Love tried to take a charge, but James was already elevated and detonated on his former Cavs brother.
LEBRON PUT KEVIN LOVE ON A POSTER 😱 https://t.co/CvE0JzXcyx
Before the start of the second half, Love was caught on video trying to get his revenge on "The King." He put LeBron in a headlock for a good five seconds before the duo shared a laugh together. After the game, James hilariously stated that he's hoping to still get an invitation to Love's wedding.
"That's my guy. That's my brother, and I hope I'm still invited to the wedding. That's not even in my all-time dunks. I'll take it out. I didn't mean it. K Love, I love you and I take it back," James said.
It's all good between @KingJames & @kevinlove 🤣 https://t.co/RTfmlpZHDJ
Kevin Love has been engaged to Sports Illustrated model Kate Bock since January last year and the couple have been together since 2015. Bock responded to LeBron James' plea about his wedding invitation on her Instagram stories. Love and Bock are yet to set a date for their wedding as of this writing.
"LOL, we'll consider," Bock captioned.
LeBron and Love were teammates with the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2014 to 2018. They went to the NBA Finals four straight times, winning one in 2016 after coming back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors.
Both players, as well as Kyrie Irving, were vital to the Cavaliers' first ever NBA title. James had "The Block" on Andre Iguodala, while Irving hit "The Shot" over Steph Curry. Love's amazing defense of Curry in the final minute of Game 7 is still an underrated moment.
