Stone Cold Steve Austin may not slam the contents of several cans of lager across his face as regularly as he once did in a WWE ring, but the 'Texas Rattlesnake' has a legacy that will live forever, not just in the world of professional wrestling (sorry Vince, 'Sports Entertainment') but right across the sporting world and pop culture. This was proved once again, last night, as Cleveland Cavaliers' power forward Kevin Love donned an Austin 3:16 t-shirt to celebrate the Cavs' historic NBA Championship triumph.
Love sat down for interviews in the iconic top which, if we're being honest, was more impressive than all the records LeBron James broke, combined. I mean, OK, you can chuck a few three pointers in, but if you're not celebrating by drenching yourself in Steveweisers in the most iconic t-shirt in history, did you even actually win the NBA Championship?
Oh and just for good measure, Love's teammate Timofey Mozgov even broke out the 'Smoking Skull' WWF title belt from 1998-'99, like the meanest motherfucker on the planet.

I sincerely hope Love began dishing out Stone Cold Stunners to everyone in site, ahead of declaring his intent to enter next year's Royal Rumble. He's completed basketball, now, he may as well try his luck in the squared circle.
