Did you read about Kevin Love's historic night, and the incredible run he's on?
Probably not.
I just went to the following online SPORTS pages, and here were the main headlines I saw:
espn.com: "No Better Time Than Now" - Highlighting the NCAA conference tourney's, with four sub-stories titled "Champ Week", "Chicago Hope" (Bulls), "Doral Doubts" (golf), "Utley's Approach", and "Woman's Hoops".
cbssportsline.com: "De-crying game" - Yet another story about the flailing Miami Heat team.
nbcsports.com: "Dazzle Now, Dance Big Later" - A quandary about weather the Kansas Jayhawk's winning their conference tournament is a sign of success in the "Big Dance".
sportingNews.com: This site has a panel of three top stories;
"It's a great time of year" - North Carolina's Kendall Marshall's emergence, "at the perfect time".
"Toxic offseason a sign of times" - Regarding Ohio State's football coach Jim Tressel's fall from grace suspension.
"Griffin still has room to grow" - another ass kissing story about the magnificent, larger than life NBA Super-Hero, Blake Griffin.
sportsillustrated.cnn.com: "Gettin' To The Good Stuff" - Focusing on Michigan State'must-win rematch in the Big Ten tourney.
Five major online sports news outlets, and none of them headline the incredible feat of the Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love's historic night.
How about the five rotating headlines on nba.com? That's NBA.com.
1 - Laker's Heat rematch tonight.
2 - Erik Spoelstra communication breakdown with Bron-bron, Wade, and the rest of the over-rated Heat team.
3 - Kobe and the Lakers
4 - 'Melo and Amar'e in New York
5 - "Rarefied Air" featuring the hands-down favorite 2011 MVP Derrick Rose.
Since you wouldn't know, without actually looking for it, and since you wouldn't actually be looking for it since you wouldn't actually know without being an avid NBA fan, here it is:
Kevin Love is the Wolves second year player who is on an incredible Double-Double run. For those not in the know, it's recording double digit stats in two different categories. (points, rebounds, assist). Love recorded his 52nd such double-double in a row, to surpass Moses Malone's 51 game streak. A streak that Malone held onto for 37 years. Nobody in that time frame did it. Not Jordan, not Kobe, and certainly not any of the three swollen head amigos down in South Beach.
But it gets even better. Love wasn't even sure if he was going to play last night until about twenty minutes before tip-off. His banged up left knee wrapped in a brace, Love came out and scored 16 points and 21 rebounds, and netted his 52nd double-double with over twenty minutes left to spare in the game.
How amazing is this stat, for a 22 year old player no less? Think about this. Only nine other players have had at least 50 double-doubles in a row. Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Walt Bellamy, Wilt Chamberlain, Elvin Hayes, Jerry Lucas and Bill Russell - and they are all are in the Hall of Fame.
Surely the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online (http://www.jsonline.com/sports/) would show Kevin Love some Love, right?
Their top headline: "Marquette now has means to Madness".
Ouch!
The legacy continues tomorrow night 8:00 EST against Utah. And if you happen to be scrolling online news sites, look for Kevin Love in the NBA section, and see how far he can take this baby.
Probably not.
