Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers and friends. It’s the only day each year where it’s acceptable to eat hearts.

Players all around the NBA are celebrating the day by sending gifts to their secret crushes and significant others. Thanks to a secret spy in the post office, I have gotten my hands on gifts being sent by various players around the league.
