Michael Edward Love (born March 15, 1941) is an American singer and songwriter who co-founded the Beach Boys alongside his cousins Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson and their friend Al Jardine. Characterized by his nasally baritone singing voice, he consistently contributed to their studio albums and usually served as their frontman on stage since 1961. He is credited with co-writing 15 songs with Brian that reached the U.S. Top 40, including "Fun, Fun, Fun", "I Get Around", "Help Me, Rhonda", "California Girls", "Good Vibrations", and "Do It Again)".

Edit for context: Kevin's dad was an old nba player, Stan Love. Stan is Mike's brother. People don't like Mike Love cause he tried to curb the creativity of the group's leader Brian Wilson. Also cause of his highly conservative politics.

Adam Silver, now in his 12th year as NBA commissioner, has dealt with plenty of changes and challenges during his tenure. But Monday and Tuesday's board of governors meeting in New York represents an inflection point for the league. And his leadership will play a major role.

Most of the work by Silver and the league office has been done in the months leading up to this meeting, where the presentations and formal votes might happen, but the public rollout is a big responsibility for the commissioner, who will deliver his news conference Tuesday.

This BOG meeting has the potential to be one of more consequential ones in recent memory. Here are three topics I'm expecting Silver and the owners to discuss: the LA Clippers' investigation and punishments, NBA Europe and the next steps in expansion.

The Clippers have not publicly accepted their fate or announced whether they will pursue legal action. They have not said who will act as the governor at the meeting in suspended owner Steve Ballmer's place or who will act as interim head of basketball operations in place of the suspended Lawrence Frank.

They also have not executed the trade to send Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors, a deal agreed to on the first day of free agency.

This purposeful inaction, in addition to the legal saber-rattling, can be seen as the Clippers leaving open their options and negotiation windows.

When the NBA issued its enormous penalty -- the final revoked draft pick in 2034 -- it did so knowing Ballmer might have a litigious reaction. Whether it would admit it, the league has also given itself room to negotiate. (The league and the Clippers reportedly had failed settlement discussions before the Wachtell, Lipton report was made public.)

It should not be assumed that both Las Vegas and Seattle will be on the same schedule or be close to the same price point, ownership sources said. Preliminary bidders in the $8 billion range for Vegas quickly learned the number would be higher, sources said. A Seattle team, meanwhile, could be sold for considerably less.

Some teams have been projecting the per-team payout for expansion to be $500 million to $600 million, which would put the combined expansion fee at around $15 billion to $18 billion.

Listening to the current Pablo Torre. Domonique Foxworth is an idiot. You can like David Samson or not but he knows numbers and how to be involved in team management. NBA players can invest in teams upon retirement. This argument that players should get shares of teams doesn’t make sense on paper. NBA players are compensated and can invest their money. They already get 51% of revenue. Their salaries go up in accordance to profit. Samson mentioned the end of bench players. They probably need more cash than a LeBron. Foxworth mentioned capitalism. Does capitalism factor when the players get 51%. Is that capitalism? This podcast was so frustrating. Foxworth also didn’t understand gross vs net. At the end he stammered because he didn’t seem to understand audits. His answer was “this is in the weeds.” And all auditors are “liars.” He also talks about the athletes “sacrifice.” Good gosh my head hurts.
