ESPN ad features Ricky Rubio’s seductive Kevin Love hotline, which actually works

Somehow, 1-855-NEED-LOVE was not taken, and now you can call it if you want to hear Ricky Rubio’s voice.

Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports

With the very fun -- and pretty good -- Minnesota Timberwolves appearing on ESPN tonight against the Nuggets, they ran a promo from the RV featured in their ads featuring Kevin Love, and it’s pretty phenomenal:

How Ricky Rubio got Kevin Love to take seductive pictures with a telephone without his knowledge we don’t know. Quite frankly, it seems like a rather elaborate operation and Rubio seems to be in way over his head. What we do know is that the images are pretty spectacular:

Forget the rebounding and passing -- this man’s inquisitive, yet masculine/rugged poses should get him the MVP.

Sure enough, if you call the number, you get Ricky Rubio telling you the number has been disconnected due to a pending lawsuit and to try again in a week. Or maybe a month.

Click here to listen if you don't feel like calling.

Kudos to ESPN for figuring out all the details on this one, and kudos for Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio for continuing to be the best.
