- [Interviewer] Hey Kevin,
we're here to see your gym and fridge.
- What's up, guys?
(bell dinging)
- [Announcer] Yes, Love is in the air
here in the fourth quarter.
- [Announcer] K. Love! (yells)
- You're here to see the fridge and the gym, right?
Come on in.
- [Interviewer] All right, Kev, since we're here,
we're gonna check out your fridge first.
Then, we'll go to your gym
and finally end up with our rapid fire questions.
You ready?
Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
- All right, so we're here at my kitchen.
Staples I always have in my fridge, always water.
I drink a lot of Essentia, you know,
it's ionized hydration, the pH level's very high
and really drink a lot of water.
I think I saw Dwayne Johnson say that
he drinks four gallons a day,
which, you know, I try to drink my body weight in ounces,
so like 240 ounces, which, you're drinking a lot.
- [Interviewer] What do you drink
when you're having a party?
- I like red wine.
I like cabs, heavy cabs.
Pinots, 'cause I'm from Portland, Oregon,
but as you can see this hasn't been touched.
This is actually one of the gifts
when I moved into my apartment,
but I didn't want to spray it anywhere.
- [Interviewer] What does your diet mainly consist of?
- Well, I'll take you through kind of my breakfast.
So, I usually have anywhere from four to six eggs
depending on whether I'm in the off season
or whether I'm in the season.
I'll throw in fruits, usually berries
'cause they have low-ish sugar content.
- [Interviewer] What do you eat before a game?
- Well, what I eat before the game,
just progressing into my diet more,
usually for lunch I'll have chicken,
high iron veggies, you know, avocados are huge
I think another super food.
I love peppers, especially red peppers
are some of my favorite.
Before a game, I usually do some sort of mash.
It's funny when I explain to people what I do.
I carb load super heavy, I might do two eggs,
cubes of shredded wheat, the raspberry jams
like to go with that.
- [Interviewer] So you just mash it together?
- Yeah, you just mash it,
that's why I call it a mash.
So you put it all together,
I might even through some applesauce on there
so you just hit yourself really hard
with the carb load before the game.
My teammates make so much fun of me
when I'm on the road 'cause I'm always,
I always have these Split packets with me.
And for me, here, I'll go, here we go, raspberry again.
So I like to turn it, split it,
and then just eat it up.
I'm telling you, this is really, really (beep) good.
Can you swear on here?
- [Interviewer] What do you eat after a game?
- Usually, going into a game,
I want to feel a little hungry,
and then after the game, I wanna make sure that
I'm not too full going to sleep.
- [Interviewer] What's your diet in the off season?
- I definitely try to cut weight as much as I can,
just, I'm heading into my 12th season now
so I'm trying to keep the joints, muscles,
super lubricated, super loose,
and keep them elastic as much as possible.
So keeping that weight off
is really conducive for longevity.
- [Interviewer] What's something we'd never see
in your fridge?
- I stay away from dairy as much as I can.
It's not really in my diet.
- [Interviewer] What do you eat on a cheat day?
- I'm a big breakfast guy,
and I like brioche French toast, pancakes,
I also like waffles, me and my best friend,
we do waffles with like vanilla bean on top,
ice cream, and do that.
- [Interviewer] What do you grab from the fridge
if you're hungry at two a.m.?
- Believe it or not, I mean,
I'm sure you guys have covered this before,
but almonds can actually help you sleep.
And then, here's a little secret,
a little go-to, one of my favorites.
Dark chocolate, typically 88% or anything above 85,
almond butter, inside of dates.
So it's stuffed dates with almond butter
and tell me that's not great.
Somebody try one, please.
Tell me that's not great.
- Oh, wow!
- Yeah, see!
We got an oh, wow,
and it's really, really good.
- [Interviewer] When do you eat them?
- Two a.m. (laughs)
So, this is my fridge.
Relatively simple, the foods in here.
I eat mostly the same thing everyday, but this is it.
This is my special fridge, and in two days,
it won't quite look like this,
but I had to make it look good for Men's Health, right?
- [Interviewer] Do you take any supplements?
- I do take supplements.
Actually, there's this nutrition platform
called Vejo that I use.
Like, this is your own personal blender.
You know, just kind of put it in there.
They come and they draw my blood.
You sign up for Vejo Care.
It's amazing so you don't have to take the pills.
I used to take like 40 or 50 pills a day.
Boom, put it right here on top,
and that'll go, it'll blend it up.
28 seconds, 30 seconds, it'll be ready to roll
so it's really a beautiful thing
and I use it to keep inflammation down,
I use it for my sleep at night, track my sleep,
and boom, it's worked wonders for me.
- [Interviewer] Do you eat before you work out?
- I do eat before I work out.
Usually I work out really early in the morning.
Get your work done early.
It's how I've always done, so.
All right so speaking of working out,
it's time to go.
I gotta change up and head downstairs to the gym
so here we go.
(hip-hop music)
So, this is actually the gym in my apartment complex
so it's very functional for everything
that we need to get accomplished,
and pretty much we're able to translate anything that we do
on the court from here.
- [Interviewer] So, how often do you work out?
- Typically, it's five days a week
with a lot of recovery sessions.
I try to do something for my body and mind every single day.
- [Interviewer] What's your off-season workout?
- Off-season workout, we're trying to just to continue
to keep building on what we've already done.
So, that's just making my body more elastic,
keeping that chronic inflammation down,
and just keep strippin' off the years,
and making me feel young again.
- [Interviewer] To be young again!
What's your workout before a big game?
- Day after a big game,
usually it's just feelin' out the body.
Typically, I'll do some sort of massage.
Like I mentioned, inside of a steam room, cold plunge,
something like that.
Get off my feet.
Usually during the season, if you're standing up,
you should be sitting down.
If you're sitting down, you should be laying down.
- [Interviewer] What's the most important part
of your workout?
- I think essentially I've always tried to play
the long games.
I've been a guy that's, you know
like any professional athlete
had to deal with injuries so finding where
some of the discrepancies are
throughout the body, manipulating those,
and then continuing to strengthen places
where there might be either some weaknesses,
and just keep gaining on the things that we've been doing.
- [Interviewer] Do you ever workout with any other players?
- Yeah, former teammates, current teammates,
whether we're in Cleveland or not.
Workin' out with them, but I'm a guy that selfishly
likes attention, especially in the gym,
so I'm able to pretty much work on everything that I need.
Plus, it's efficient.
I can't get that time back so what's your biggest commodity?
It's time.
- [Interviewer] What's your main focus working out?
- I would say, just being on the court as much as possible
in order to help the team is gonna be my main focus.
- [Interviewer] What kind of music do you listen to?
- Some days its 60s soul, a lot of great hip-hop artists
from New York, but then some days I'll do like 90s grunge.
Like I'll throw on Aberdeen Washingtons,
you know, Kurt Cobain.
- [Interviewer] Do you have any scars?
- I have a number of scars.
I have both my hands here.
I had my shoulder worked on so I have a couple scars,
and then, probably all over my body from players
that didn't cut their fingers and so we got a bleeder here.
- [Interviewer] How about any tattoos?
- No tattoos, but there is one of my grandmother
that I've thought about getting,
but it hasn't come to that point yet.
- [Interviewer] So, the media has been saying
that you've been on vacation a lot this summer.
Any comments?
- No, I've had an amazing summer.
I've been relentlessly curious so everywhere that I go
I kind of find an adventure after I get my work done
in the morning.
A lot of people say why don't you get on the court?
Been everywhere but in the gym.
A lot of the stuff that they don't see is that, so.
Always puttin' in my work.
I stick to my schedule.
This is my first love, and one of my only loves,
and it's been a really special thing for me,
but the summer love continues.
- [Interviewer] All right, now it's time
for our rapid fire questions.
Seven a.m. workout or seven p.m. workout?
- I'm just gonna take my time.
Seven a.m. without a doubt.
- [Interviewer] Squat or deadlift?
- Single-leg squat.
- [Interviewer] Favorite song on your playlist?
- Anything from the sound score on the show "Euphoria".
- [Interviewer] Crossfit, yea or nay?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Pull-ups or chin-ups?
- What's the difference? Pull-ups.
- [Interviewer] Dumbbells or kettle bells?
- Dumbbells.
- [Interviewer] Running on a treadmill
or in the great outdoors? - Outside.
- [Interviewer] Cardio or weights?
- Weights.
- [Interviewer] Big legs or big arms?
- Both.
- [Interviewer] Biggest compliment?
Jacked, ripped, swole, or cut?
- Hold on, just getting jacked here.
- [Interviewer] If you could work out with anyone
in the world, dead or alive, who would it be?
- Dead or alive, Arnold in his prime, without a doubt.
All right so I'm not gonna lie.
I worked out chest and back before this
so I'm a little fatigued.
You guys gotta get the hell out.
