Detailed Biography of Bob Love |
|
As Bob Love grew to a six-foot-eight high school senior, Bob's dreams of being a great athlete became real. He was the first player from Southern University in Louisiana to be named to the All-America Team by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. After college, Bob played for the Cincinnati Royals basketball team and was later traded to the Milwaukee Bucks and then to the Chicago Bulls.
Bob Love played with the Chicago Bulls for eight seasons from 1969 to 1976. For seven straight years he was the Bulls leading scorer and is the second highest scorer in Bulls history (yeah, second only to MJ).
In spite of all his success as an athlete, Bob Love was not able to do something that everyone else seemed to do easily - talk without stuttering. All his life, Bob stumbled over words and often couldn't say anything at all. When Bob retired from basketball he tried for seven years to find a steady job and, in 1984, was hired as a dishwasher for $4.45 an hour.
Bob worked as hard on his dream of being able to talk as he had worked on basketball. Finally, at the age of 45 he found a speech therapist who helped him learn to speak without struggling. The Chicago Bulls heard Bob's story and called him, looking for a Director of Community Relations who would earn a salary speaking about the Bulls and life in general. Bob accepted the offer and is now speaking on behalf of the Bulls in the Chicago community.
On the platform Bob Love talks about personal discipline, people skills and overcoming adversity. A hero to many, Bob's presentations focus on the importance of dreams and how to hold on to them. He uses vivid examples from his own life story to teach audiences how they can overcome adversity through his five rules for the game of life. |
