The cologne is called "Numb#rs" LoL. To be honest, all the all-star promotion materials are stupid. The Roy Leatherman, The Roy-pod, etc. Maybe it's cool if you get one, but it kind of looks tacky. I do however get a kick out of cologne being used to promote an all-star. Do you think the Timberwolves are serious about this or are they just trying to mock the Blazers? Do other teams give out swag to promote their all-star? Should they? My thought is if you have to rely on that kind of stuff, it shows you are not confident about the merit of your players.

I think they are admitting that if he is chosen - it would stink.

I found this pathetic.

"I feel like I've done the best I could to show I'm an All-Star type talent, but I know that wins come at a premium in this league and a lot of coaches are going to look at that," Love said. "But hopefully maybe they can get past that this year and make an exception."

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

KHHHHHHHAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!

That is a totally horrible idea. I hope they are not giving that shit out.

For people with asthma, allergies, chemical sensitivity, chronic bronchitis, this stuff is more toxic than cigarettes.
Why not a Kevin Love cigar?

Hilarious. It seems tongue-in-cheek. I applaud the Wolves marketing staff.

It's not being given out to the fans, just the Western Conference coaches.

lol. Basically what I was thinking.

Well, I guess if a team has the worst record in the West, poisoning opponents' coaches may be one of the few ways they can win a game.

I think it's funny how he's this hard working blue collar player... in a pashmina.

LOL!

 

[Boob-No-More]

The Blazers should counter with their own "exclusive" fragrance for LaMarcus Aldridge. They should call it "Wins". He has them; Griffin and Love don't.

BNM

Looks like Aqua Velva to me...

I thought this was funny, no need to hate on Love. Love was also involved in Handshake-Gate:

He's padding his handshake numbers with those horrible attempts. What a 'garbage'.

Agreed, hilarious. This is the type of fun thing teams should be doing. The "He has the numbers" tag line on the cologne box is pretty awesome.
