“Michael Jordan, Paul George, and Derrick Rose join the list!”: Kevin Love talks about the top five NBA comeback seasons

Kevin Love just had an incredible comeback season. However, he still reckons players like Michael Jordan and Paul George had better seasons. 

When an NBA player gets injured or is out for a considerably long period of time, their comeback might not go as planned. Players lack the speed and guile when they come back from a long hiatus.

It seldom happens that players can find their footing after a big injury. More players have been rotated out of the league due to big injuries than those that have made a comeback.

Kevin Love just put up a brilliant comeback season. After being out for an extended period of time, there were doubts about his return to form.

Kevin just proved all his doubters wrong. Coming off the bench, he put up 13-7-2. Solid numbers from a player whose career could have been over.
