If for some reason there had been a grooming competition at the recent Cleveland Cavaliers media day, Kevin Love would have won hands down. But not just because his hair and beard were all that great, stylish, or handsome. Kevin Love certainly is a very handsome man. He's also very stylish. Just look at this picture of him at the ESPY awards with Lebron James back in July. He looks like a real life Ken doll.

But while having his photograph taken at the beginning of pre-season, something was different. He looks so incredibly innocent, like a nerdy high school senior that girls still haven't realized is super hot. His hair hangs loose like a self-conscious animal and his beard is neither full-beard nor true goatee.

These spectacular photos of a very attractive dude are endearing in exactly the same way a boyband is—before they know they're any good or start getting armfuls of lame tattoos. In fact, Love's adorable mug in each of the media day pictures reminds us of one of the best boyband songs ever created.
