Bob Love

Imagine being able to write with both hands! Bob Love was also known for being a kind person who helped out in his community after he stopped playing basketball.

Bob Love had a funny nickname: 'Butterbean'! When he was a kid, he really loved to eat butterbeans. That's how he got his special name. It's like if you really loved pizza, maybe people would call you 'Pizza Pete'! Nicknames can tell us fun stories about people's lives and what they liked when they were young.
