Bob Love was the Chicago Bulls' first true superstar — a silky pure scorer whose jump shot was among the most beautiful in the game. A three-time All-Star and the face of the franchise through the late 1960s and early 1970s, Love averaged 21.3 points per game in his nine Bull seasons. His career story extends far beyond basketball: after a devastating fall from the NBA spotlight, he overcame a severe stutter and rebuilt his life with extraordinary resilience.

After his NBA career ended, Love suffered from a severe stutter and financial hardship, eventually working as a busboy at a Nordstrom restaurant in Seattle.
A Nordstrom executive recognized him and the company offered to pay for years of speech therapy — Love repaid the debt by becoming a Nordstrom brand ambassador.
His story was featured in books about resilience including the bestselling "Same Kind of Different As Me."
Averaged 25.8 PPG in the 1971-72 season — one of the highest single-season averages in franchise history.
Bulls retired his #10 jersey in 1994 in a ceremony where he gave a full speech without a stutter — a moment that brought the entire United Center to tears.
