Kevin Love vs. Sumo Wrestler - ESPN Sport Science

[vika0194]

this show is pretty stupid. they need smarter scientists

[dfgomber7]

K Love is a beast

[Johonywuzhere]

I think I would be scared if that sumo wrestler was my check in basketball.

[GODSGIFT472]

@TheAdmiral50 thats how u box out dumbass

[TheAdmiral50]

this is stupid, he's not even boxing out, he's literally body slamming the guy with his shoulder and the sumo wrestler has to start from outside the paint?!

[The0ptimusCrime]

the T-wolves coach prob shit himself watching this...how did he not hurt his back lmfao

[darkkthief]

that sumo wrestler looks pretty small compare to others

[nebakanez]

although a little manufactured, this is still similar to a real time basketball situation, in which you know the opponent is coming at you, and from which direction. People had to do this to shaq all the time.

[eric4444444444444444]

is it legal to hit someone like that in a game.....

[K1NGK0Z]

FOUL! fuck you Kevin Love. come on John this is clearly a foul!

[iluvbigbootie]

thats a shoulder block.foul 

[calculussuckshell]

thats a foul man, good thing the sumo wrestle isnt floping

[dnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

the sumo wrestler should stomp his face

[Rymaster91]

basically kevin love is a beast and this video was a waste of my time.

[DannyNaqvi]

ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS

[jodyssupervideo]

wtf the sumo wrestler wasn't even trying to get good position anyway

[FLA3H91]

lol basically this isn't box out either bodychecking ... it's a foul

[bumbar144]

FAUL

[SbChilli]

This isnt boxing out. Love knows the sumo wrestler is coming and is basically looking towards the sumo wrestler and bodychecking him...

[Itsimplyjack]

LOL loose ball foul please! TYVM

[hathorn16]

In shorter terms, Kevin Love is a great re-bounder.

[HostZino]

This is guarantee a foul.

[m10225f]

これは相撲ではないね。まず、こんなに腰の高い状態では力らが入­らない。さらに、両手をあげて突進しても、脇を締めてこその相撲­だと私は考えているので、相撲レスラーさんにはがっかりです。

[street1life1]

Isn't this an foul ? respond please :D

[xbringyourboardx]

this is ridiculous

[haggiss]

loose ball foul.

[staxstix]

rofl, this is so bad.

[mrbishboshful]

hahah that would be a foul but ok lol

[loudpacnation]

john brenkus sucks

[MaIaysian]

OMG LOVE'S FACE @ 1:15 lol

[fetussucka]

good thing luis scola is not a sumo wrestler

[jjojjorge]

Zach Randolph am sure does it better. By the way, I wish sports were played cleanly.

[crazysmile06]

why dont they switch their place? I m sure love wont get that rebound

[pimpsoldier0]

LOL you can dislocate ur shoulder esepcially bumping a Sumo wrestler like that. I wonder if his team was pissed at him for doing this

[WtfItzHuy]

0:12 Is it me or does both of his arms look incredibly white compared to his face?

[hesekielz]

look at love face 1:16, he look scared lol

[nathannguyen59]

what the hell is "wayne state University"

[aplnrmn]

with that impact..i thought Love broke a bone..

[xratedcheese]

Send Ndomakung Suh at him and see how he holds up

[Gr33d50]

thats not boxing out thats decking a guy

[fiddleslarves]

blowjob at @40....kevin loves lucky day

[eggfooyung2go]

Boris diaw never had a chance on that rebound

[ganyyuan]

you can't box someone out like that, I see a foul (or a fight) if he boxes out someone like that in a NBA game.

[shane8109]

Very entertaining! Go Kevin Love

[nightwatcher300]

Was she sucking his D @0:40

[Bean5k1]

sign up that sumo!!!

[litdan]

This is not even accurate, the sumo wrestler was further out, is 10 inches shorter, and the guy put the ball at an easy angle for love to get the ball. And i'm pretty sure that would be a foul on love. Im not saying he isnt a good rebounder, but atleast make the test fair.

[ManPunisher123]

lol how da fuck was this a boxout!?!?

[renzsy824]

Love's Box out = FOUL!!

Either Offensive Foul if his team is on offense or Defensive Foul

[renzsy824]

@renzsy824 THATS A CHARGE!

[BLeese17]

that wasnt really a box out

[ThePetesBeat]

wayne state? hahaha

[koulee2010]

the sumo guy looks more like he's modeling underwears.

[MegaTombalabomba]

all i saw was SUMO RAGE 1:32 !!!!!

[quarzahk]

these sports science shows so corny

[yankeesrock2357]

Kevin love has only an 81 overall in 2k12. Wtf

[Pablo8ism]

@yankeesrock2357 Ricky Rubio had a 60 dunk rating and he can't even dunk..lol now thats wtf..

[superkrex]

I think they should have brought in somebody like Big Show or Mark Henry to help with this

[mightyPants]

hahah if that was boxing out then half the players int he NBA would be dead.

[dragonmustard2]

Loose ball foul. 

[mhrce]

that would have been a foul hahaha

[avp802]

love looks so scared at 1:15

[Ohfishyfishyfish]

Love had a strong position in the first place. I wanted to see it the other way around; the Sumo under the basket, and Love running in to grab the rebound. They didn't show that because the sumo would probably hurt him.

[XDixGi]

sumo wrestlers rockin airforce ones

[deutschland08fn]

The sumo wrestler should've taken the foul

[xmuscularghandix]

LOL at the way they never talk to the Sumo Wrestler, it's like he's a mindless prop.

[cizzam21]

Yeah that didn't look scripted at all.

[TheShootTruth10]

I would rather play this sumo wrestler than anyone in the nba in basketball.

[TheShootTruth10]

sumo wrestler does have have athletcism of a basketball player.

[buyneee]

6'10?? 6'10! HOLY CRAP! he's a giant. 6'10 smh

[JRosh33]

Kevin Love vs E. Honda? Is this Street Fighter x NBA Superstars?

[SuperTomKim]

this thing teaches how to box out cool

[WilltheDILF]

This Sportscience shit is stupid. They make these athletes sound like super humans. And is the degrees really necessary? And that is nothing what a basketball player experiences in a real game. Pretty hard foul if you ask me.

Art thou in fury, brethren?

[BooMStikin]

Love Is top 5 Nba And 1 white Play In The league

[mhmollaun]

This is the best sports science experiment of all-time

[dragonzball24]

wtf....

[JBobomb]

thats a foul though

[DutchbeBlazin]

haha that was funny. what a lardass xD

[earljcy]

Pause at 1:16

[pismostroch]

This is just stupid -.-

[prettyboyswagg241]

CHARGE!! TECHNICAL FOUL!

[Axcelaration]

that looked like it hurt

[xLeiRage]

could it be possible to win MIP award again? Cause Love is much better this year.

[bigmanny]

The secret to his rebounding skills comes from reading the manga slam dunk. he saw sakuragi the rebound king and decided to be the same.

PS this experiment is so stupid.

[AkitoGaming]

@bigmanny best comment ever~~

I bet all he had to do was imagine that the sumo wrestler was Gorilla

[bigmanny]

@AkitoGaming haha true.

[tophercheese21]

fuck this show is so shit

[danjohnsonshomerun]

at 1:34 HE IS LIKE GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY TWINKIES

[leothephantom7]

this Dr. cynthia Bir is in every sports science show, i have seen her before on national geographic in fight science and she is now on ESPN

frankly, most of her experiments are not so interesting

[kobe8329]

HOW LOVE CAN GET SO MANY REBS

[bigtosty619]

They do this in soccer all the time

[Mike3d2o]

IF you look closely Lebron Traveled

[bent1596]

@Mike3d2o Good One!

He allways does!

[Jarocny585]

@Mike3d2o he does that everytime he drives

[12deerhunter12]

They that make sence

[corhnman5k]

#4 - My favorite position

[corhnman5k]

Look at him hit that fat fuck! Those folds are flapping.

[Butters12345ful]

But seriously, what was the sumo going to do if he did get the ball?

[QWERTYUdfds54]

lol thats not a box out thats a flagrant

[0114kiven]

maybe the video is stupid, but YOU CAN'T DENY KEVIN LOVE IS STILL A BEAST IN BOARDS

[portmurphy1]

@0114kiven I REALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW HE IS SO GOOD AT REBOUNDING

[GCJAKE0022]

After I read all the comments I just left.

[TheMartinryan]

this is so fucking stupid and pointless

[MyCoolio14]

@TheMartinryan agreed

[tswarty33]

Lebron traveled

[phantom5691]

This is fucking stupid.

[Demerr]

love fouled that fat guy

[brocky]

I'm impressed with how he reacts to the ball very quickly. His head is looking for the ball immediately. Man... wish you stayed at UCLA for one more year, Kev Love.

[asasas12ful]

pay you 2345234 dollar if you outbox the young shaq !!1

[FiredEmpire]

HEY WAIT GUYS WHO THE FUCK IS THIS FAT-ASS??

I'm Japanese who loves watching Sumo, but I've never ever seen him

Americus Abesamis is just an overweight actor.

He hasn't got muscle and technique that professional sumo wrestlers have.

[MrLietotaajvaards]

they should of put Mogsy Bogues

[chug2x]

an nba player would have flopped.

[ranzfays]

uh oh kevin love has a receeding hairline.. Lebron, Blake griffin, kevin love. The big 'hairline' 3

[thickfr3akn3ss]

how stupid it may be....k-love is still a beast

[cpanthers88]

He couldn't box out Dwight Howard

[ReasonableTradeIdeas]

@filahohi - Definitely not. What they did was more closer to Sumo Wrestling...HAHAhahah

[vietpotatoguy]

wtf bodycheck..

[thefickletickle]

I like how i was expecting him to just box him out but instead he unloads into him.

[filahohi]

Um THAT'S NOT A BOXOUT. A box out is when two players are beneath the rim and they battle for position. That was a tackle

[Epicbros123]

It's funn cause he's fat

[jr0qu3]

maaan i thought they were guna sumo wrestle

[swagger1930]

nigga better not have touched me with his fat ass hahahha

[greendines23]

Do you think he could box out Shaq in Shaq's best days in Lakers?

[imliekakite]

0:42

[qetwr111]

loose ball foul.

[willlee3]

if they want to show the power of Kevin Love, they need to control experiment Brian Scalabrine's boxing out.

[illegitimate0]

If Kevin Love did that in a game he'd be called for the foul.

[kobe24mvp81]

Man, sometimes sports science experiments are just so dumb

[ElTorero113]

@kobe24mvp81 This is for entertaining, what do you expect?

[kobe24mvp81]

@ElTorero113 it was an alright experiment, and entertaining i guess, but I just wanted more

[ubicomp]

I guess when you have 24hrs of airtime to fill up, this is the sort of crap you come up with.

[constymonsty]

epic slowmotion is epic! :D

[KamalRafi66]

11 sumo wrestlers disliked....

[320jbruno]

Este video es una farza por que el luchador de sumo esta en desventaja al no ocupar sus hombros y la posicion de sus piernas al higual que el otro y el conductor del programa ve todo favorable y donde estan las desventajas ? Saludos EL-320

[luddotpp]

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!



[BrendanLikesApple46]

He sounds and kinda looks like paul walker.

[xMaleik]

imagine him on a football field, Love that is

[promx4]

11 thousand :DD

[2blevin]

At 2:30 i thought that was a real guy in the purple jersey. I was laughing so hard.

[fahmiaziz]

man these documentary makes everything sound perfect...

[FirstNameChris]

imagine if he hurt his shoulder doin this

[MarcP865]

LOL the sumo wrestler got into air

[YoungFeature]

If this damn show had cause Love to blow out a knee I would have been pissed lol but its pretty cool to watch. For the people that are thinking Love just beat a fat guy at a basketball move then go do some research on sumo wrestlers. Those guys are conditioned to exact a maximum amount of force when they run straight ahead. They simple have different body building beliefs. Hitting their fat would feel like running into a brick wall I assure you.

[MyNamelsMaikai]

HAHAH. Check out the Sumo's face on impact.

[lifesaach]

muscled shoulder vs fatty belly

[Pottigol]

haha that's a clear foul by kevin love..

[eric851014]

damn this is coool

[PKZillah]

OK OK .... I know its kinda late and all, but doesn't it seem that the sumo's wig falls off during one of the impacts? Check it out at 2:00 and let me know what you all think!!!! 

[PKZillah]

and at 1:21 (same clip)!!!!!

[NYGMENfan1]

I hate sport science.

[kentot2position]

Foul

[Smith35KC]

@kentot2position

Yeah , last time I checked this isn't the NHL and he isn't on the boards

[chidding]

Notice how the sumo wrestler practically slows down before the impact..

[royalfrenchfrie24]

glen davis would've been a better sumo wrestler for this test

[MinnesotaGuy11]

He practically used the technique you use to tackle somone in football...I wonder how that one felt.

[R00sterJr]

0:41 Am i the only one that initially thought Kevin Love was getting a blowjob from the blonde?

[Jimmy4Miley]

1:15 so scared

[freelee4given]

Lebron traveled

[thankqwerty]

My only question is how that sumo wrestler put on that vest.

[CBMxRelaxBABY]

Not even close to a foul. Good try.

[SergioHD720p]

I love kevin love

[luchador1764]

Yes.. a basketball player beat a sumo wrestler at a basketball drill.. Im not sure what this is trying to prove. Is it that sumo wrestlers suck at basketball? Because if so, I think I speak for everyone when I say I already knew that.

[chuklebolt]

@luchador1764

They are trying to find out what make Love good at rebounding, figuring out the technique he used for boxing out players so that he can grab the rebound and the force of collision.

[djmaxdance]

@chuklebolt LOL, i thought they just tried to massage each other with their body while playing basketball

[nwfilmschool]

@luchador1764 Naw, what they are saying is that most people might have guessed that the sumo wrestler would flatten a basketball player.

[Airman32292]

@luchador1764 Thats now what its about, its about the fact that kevin love is such a good rebounder and so good at boxing out, that he can produce more force than a sumo wrestler in order to keep him away from the ball, yes the wrestler obviously has no clue about rebounding, but those guys can without a doubt produce a ton of force, literally, and the fact that love can produce more is pretty impressive

[you2besux]

@Airman32292

not impressive at all

the sumo wrestler is standing up straight which is completely opposite of what they normally do and is also completely opposite of what the basketball player is doing

the ONLY reason he is producing more is because he's low, his foot is planted and he's pushing off of it

hell, if their positions were reversed so would the outcome

[Airman32292]

@you2besux hes not trying to sumo wrestler kevin, he was running trying to force k love outta the way, and no body runs crouching down so of course hes not, but with his mass he still produces a ton of force, and not impressive? alright post a video of you doing this, just be sure to keep an ambulence on hold xD

[TheRenegadeSniper]

@luchador1764

That the 300+ pound sumo wrestler didn't run him the fuck over

[TreyMarkedUp]

stupid.

[JoshuaRulez1]

Vis

[MinnesotaMan16]

Fuck it's seems like some of u come on here and comment just to hate. Say what u want but he led the country's and maybe even some of the worlds best players in rebounding. He's a beast and if u think otherwise you're nothing more than an ignorant hater.
