From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanley (Stan) S. Love (born April 9, 1949 in Los Angeles, California) is a retired American basketball player. A 6' 9" forward, Love played collegiately for the University of Oregon Ducks from 1968 to 1971, and was the 9th pick in the 1971 NBA Draft, chosen by the Baltimore Bullets. He had a four-year professional career with Baltimore and the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, and the San Antonio Spurs, then of the American Basketball Association. He retired from the sport in 1975. Love was inducted into the University of Oregon Athletics Hall of Fame in 1994.
Love is the father of high school prospect Kevin Love, and the younger brother of Beach Boys founding member Mike Love.[1] Love made headlines when he publicly criticized his alma mater, and Oregon coach Ernie Kent, for failing to recruit his son harder (Kevin Love will attend UCLA).
Love currently resides in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
