Awwww! On Tuesday night, a throwback photo of a young Kevin Love and very, very young looking Isaiah Thomas went viral. The classic photo of the two 16-year old future NBA All-Stars and former middle-school AAU teammates was captured during the 2005 Reebok ABCD Camp. The now defunct camp was a product of hoops grass-roots Godfather Sonny Vaccaro, a staple of the summer basketball circuit for two decades and where a lot of basketball players first made a name for themselves.<\/p>\n

The specific 2005 camp was the subject of a must-see ESPN special, which featured Love and other top prep players like Greg Oden, OJ Mayo, Bill Walker and Lance Stephenson. And if you don't blink during the first 10 minutes of the show, you might catch a cameo by a little-known Thomas giving a peace sign while wearing a UNLV shirt.<\/p>\n
