Bob Love

Robert ?Butterbean? Love (born December 8 1942, in Bastrop, Louisiana) is a former professional basketball player who spent the prime of his career with the NBA's Chicago Bulls. A versatile forward who could shoot with either his left or right hand, Love now works as the Bulls' Director of Community Relations.

Post-Basketball

Love retired in 1977 with career totals of 13,895 points and 4,653 rebounds. Unfortunately, he suffered from a serious stuttering problem, which prevented him from finding meaningful employment after his playing days were over. Eventually, however, Love found a benefactor to pay for speech therapy classes, and in 1993 he returned to the Chicago Bulls as their director of community relations. In recent years, Love has also become a popular motivational speaker.
