Kevin Love is like a lot of us. He just wants to hang out with the cool guys. So often in the past, Love has been disregarded. Tossed aside.
When the Cavaliers pose for a team Instagram photo, Love is nowhere to be seen. Maybe he wasn't in the area, or maybe LeBron James pushed him out of the way like he did with David Blatt. But Monday night, after defeating the Pacers in overtime, Love felt, well, loved.

That third hashtag is so crucial.
"Hell yeah I made the pic."
You see, Love is excited because just three few weeks ago he had to photoshop himself into the team pic.

This hasn't been a 2016 issue, either. He was left out of the team Instagram photo last year as well.
The exclusion became a talking point and made ESPN's Mike Greenberg say to Love, "LeBron James will put a picture up on Instagram in which he says 'here's my clique,' and there's a bunch of guys in the picture and you're not one of them." Love then responded with, "we're not best friends," which was used a headline to try and say he doesn't have a good relationship with James.
But now Love is included in the team Instagram pic, and all is right in the world.
