Kevin Love has displayed his love for infamous chain Hooters on social media as the breastaurant is preparing to file for bankruptcy amid a decline in customers and closing dozens of stores last year.
Hooters is best known for its waitresses, dressed in a skimpy white tank top and orange shorts that barely cover their buttocks.
The sex-appeal-over-food approach saw declining customers, with it being revealed Hooters will file for bankruptcy in the coming months. Some are taking a stand, like Love.
The current Miami Heat star posted two photos to social media in tribute of the breastaurant, one of him as a teenager posing with an unidentified waitress at a Hooters.
The second photo is of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker sitting at a table inside a Hooters location and a plate of buffalo wings on the table.
‘As you can see I was swimming in it back then… Sad to see the fall of an absolute institution!!! If anyone can save it – it’s the two on the next slide. HOOPERS @ HOOTERS,’ Love said in the caption of the post.

Love’s former teammate LeBron James commented on the post with 10 laughing while crying emojis.
Per Bloomberg, Hooters is $300million in debt, even after closing locations in Rhode Island, Virginia, Florida, Kentucky, and Texas in 2024.
A few other restaurants with similar business models to Hooters have popped up over the years, including Tilted Kilt and Twin Peaks.
One of Love’s last posts before showing his affinity for Hooters was from Saturday, where he revealed his second child was born around Valentine’s Day.
Love and his wife, Katie Bock, already have a daughter that was born in June 2023.
Hooters’ possible bankruptcy follows a trend of large chain restaurants who have needed financial help, like Red Lobster.
