Cavs' Kevin Love Talks Paying Arena Workers Amid Shutdown

Cavaliers F Kevin Love spoke with Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah from their respective homes about how, according to Noah, Love “kicked off a movement to help out arena workers when the NBA shut down.” Noah: “You were one of the first players who stepped up and said, ‘Hey, I'm going to give my own personal money to help pay for these people, I'm going to help raise money to pay for these people's salaries,’ and then the owners started stepping in and other players did as well.”

Love: “A lot of these people are living paycheck to paycheck, and these are people are a part of not only my story, but the Cavs organization. You start to develop a first-name basis and first-name relationship with these people and start to ask about their family, and you see them when they come in to the arena, see them when you leave the arena. I thought it was important to just take care of people that have taken care of me so long” (“The Daily Show,” Comedy Central, 3/31).
