VIDEO: Timberwolves fans too nice to burn Kevin Love jersey

Everyone remembers watching Cavaliers fans burn LeBron James' jerseys after The Decision four years ago, but don't expect to see angry Timberwolves fans do the same to Kevin Love's jersey.

In the aftermath of the Cavs and T-Wolves reportedly reaching agreement on a trade that would send Love to Cleveland and appease the All-Star big man's wish to escape Minnesota, it turns out it's tough to find many heartbroken Timberwolves fans.

The video was obviously planned and meant as a joke, but there might be something to the Minnesota apathy mocked in the skit. The Timberwolves, who own the NBA's longest current postseason drought at 10 years, finished 27th in the league in attendance last season despite hanging around the Western Conference playoff race for a good chunk of the year, and never finished better than 15th in attendance during Love's six-year tenure in Minnesota.
