Let $f$ be a density on the real line and let $f_n$ be the kernel estimate of $f$ in which the smoothing factor is obtained by maximizing the cross-validated likelihood product according to the method of Duin and Habbema, Hermans and Vandenbroek. Under mild regularity conditions on the kernel and $f$, we show, among other things that $\int|f_n - f| \rightarrow 0$ almost surely if and only if the sample extremes of $f$ are strongly stable.
