Thompson and Love were teammates in Cleveland for six seasons (2014-20). During that period, they helped the franchise advance to four consecutive NBA Finals, winning a historic title together in 2016 — an unforgettable triumph over 73-win Golden State in which the Cavaliers became the only team ever to rally from a 3-1 Finals deficit.

Former Cavs star Kevin Love shared an emotional moment with former teammate Tristan Thompson a day after Love's dad, Stan, died.

Away from the team for the playoffs and several weeks prior, Miami Heat center Kevin Love on Sunday night posted on Instagram the passing of his father, former NBA player Stan Love.
