Instead of wearing the normal championship t-shirts provided to winners of the NBA finals, Kevin Love opted to wear an “Austin 3:16” t-shirt during the Cleveland Cavaliers post game celebration. The t-shirt is in reference to WWE superstar “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. “Austin 3:16” states, “I just whooped your a**,” and that is apparently what Kevin Love felt like his team did to the Golden State Warriors after winning in a historic comeback in game 7 of the Finals.

Love even celebrated the victory like the Texas Rattlesnake himself by double fisting two beers and them pouring them into his mouth and all over himself. A vine from the inside the locker room shows Love crushing the beers and before hugging Finals MVP LeBron James.
Not only did Kevin Love wear the “Austin 3:16” shirt for the locker room champagne shower celebration, but he also wore the shirt during all of his post game interviews. The Cauldron tweeted a photo of Kevin Love and Cavaliers Head Coach Tyronn Lue with the caption: “Kevin Love postgame interviews in Austin 3:16 shirt and the rest of his game uni.”
