Basketball career
Stan Love in 1967

A 6'9" forward, Love graduated from Morningside High School (where he was a center in his senior year),[1] Inglewood, California, then played collegiately for the Oregon Ducks from 1968 to 1971.

Love was the 9th pick in the 1971 NBA draft, chosen by the Baltimore Bullets. He was also selected by the Dallas Chaparrals in the 1971 ABA Draft.[2] He had also been selected in the 1970 ABA Draft by the Texas Chaparrals while still an underclassman.[3]

Love had a four-year professional career with Baltimore, the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, and the San Antonio Spurs, then of the American Basketball Association. He retired from the sport in 1975, with per-game averages of 6.6 points (on 0.440 FG and 0.751 FT), 3.9 rebounds and 2.5 fouls for 14.7 minutes in 239 career games.[4]

Love was inducted into the University of Oregon Athletics Hall of Fame in 1994.

Personal life and post-basketball career

Love is the father of NBA champion Kevin Love, currently a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the younger brother of Beach Boys vocalist Mike Love. He is a cousin of the Beach Boys' co-founders, brothers Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, and Dennis Wilson.[5] In the mid-1970s and 1980s, Love was employed as a full-time bodyguard, trainer and assistant to Brian Wilson, working to re-acclimate the troubled musician's daily life and keep him drug-free. In 1982, Love was fined $750 and placed on six months' probation for a home invasion and assault on Dennis Wilson with fellow bodyguard Rocky Pamplin.[6] In 1990, Love filed a petition to be appointed as Brian Wilson's conservator,[7] resulting in the court-ordered severing of personal and financial ties between Wilson and therapist Eugene Landy in 1991.[8]

Love currently resides in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
