Got a ton of nostalgic vibes & emotions when they put Jimmy Jam on the jumbotron the other night & put this classic on the background. A lot of Wolves & Minneapolis/MN memories w/seeing him and hearing that song. Loved it. Keep keep on, never say die

"[LeBron James] was gonna join me in Minnesota, but I guess his knees couldn't handle the cold weather. ... Philly got some of the best barbers in the world. Between him and ol' boy from Boston [Jaylen Brown], they gonna have a whole lotta enhancements going on in the locker room."

My biggest anticipation for the Timberwolves this season is seeing Jon Kuminga and Jon Krawcynski wrestling in the middle of the locker room floor over the right to see who gets called JK
Whoa huge news! First JB, then LeBron, then Chris Hine, damn Philly having the best off season in history! This jawn like when KG went to Boston😃 Enjoy the good food, the superstar team, the Inquirer, and the burgeoning MN/Philly connection community 💕 Thanks for all these yrs!
After 8 years covering the Timberwolves, I’m off to my next step — covering the 76ers for the @PhillyInquirer. What a dream opportunity this is, and I’m so excited to cover a memorable time for the 76ers in tandem alongside my friend, the awesome @ginamizell. (Cont…)

Jon exquisitely encapsulates everything Naz Reid means to Wolves fans & Minnesotans all around the world. Hard to put the love/feeling into words but this is as close as it gets💙Oh & I live in Italy & while wearing a jersey Sunday, an Italian gave me the Naz Reid w/the headnod
Sixth in the rotation, No. 1 in their hearts.

Congolese fans were excited to see Vea standing in support of the team, but the US turning him back isn't surprising b/c his presence is a direct indictment of what the gov't and CIA did to Lumumba, and the present day exploitation and subjugation of Congo, her people, and Africa
Still struggling with Naz being gone. Just heartbroken. I may be in the minority with this, but I'd prefer to lose w/my loyal guys who want to be in MN & who we love rather than win w/whoever. KG, KAT, and Naz are 3 who would've retired a wolf if we let them.
There never was a folk hero in local sports like Naz Reid and there never will be another. The organic groundswell was so pure and beautiful. Two Words. Honk If. Tattoos. Towels going global. No mass marketing campaign. Just local fans rallying an amazing guy and his story.
I'm really going to miss Naz Reid.
Few players in Wolves history have been more fun to watch and easier to root for.
He's a developmental success story, but waiting this long for a chance to start only to be traded days after seemingly getting it is a bummer ending.
Two words.
