Kevin Love Loses His First Jose Cuervo Beach Volleyball Match [Video]

We still have to give Kevin Love credit for going out there and playing beach volleyball against the best in the world, even though he didn’t come out on top in his Jose Cuervo debut. Hey, Kevin, in our book you’re still number one! For whatever that’s worth.

For those who don’t recall, we had a chance to speak with Kevin Love about his new venture into the world of beach volleyball about a month ago. And, to be honest, there were plenty of people questioning whether or not he could get himself ready for what was ahead. Despite the loss, though, the dude looked pretty good out there! Seems as if he was more than prepared for his competition.

Details:

Alongside Stolfus, Love proved that his athletic chops go far beyond the basketball court as he took to the sand against opponents John Hyden and Sean Scott. Although Love and Stolfus will not be advancing to the next round of play, both put forth a strong effort against the number one seed in this weekend’s tournament.  Scott/Hyden won in two games with a score of 21-16 in the first and 21-15 in the second.

The Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series will continue throughout the weekend and is FREE to the public. Showcasing some of beach volleyball’s best talent, the Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series creates a beach-lifestyle festival for fans to enjoy all weekend long.

We said it before and we’ll say it again, this dip into the world of beach volleyball might actually help Kevin Love’s NBA game, defensively speaking. If he can let his presence be known as a shot blocker… lookout!

Here’s some video and photos from the event!
