After the Jazz lost 126-140 to the Lakers in an away game yesterday, Jazz forward Love accepted an interview with Fox Sports and talked about his former teammate and Lakers forward James.

LeBron James spent time with his former teammate Kevin Love on the eve of the Lakers' historic 23rd season.

Love said: "He has been watching basketball games. We were together last night, and he switched back and forth between several games, and he also watched the (Dallas) Cowboys game, which is not what I am interested in. He understands the tactics of each team and knows the characteristics and tendencies of each player. He just has a real talent. Basketball wisdom."

When asked if he thought James was the greatest player in history, Love answered without hesitation: "Yes."

Before the game, a Jazz player sighed: "Why did James choose to come back against us?"
