seeing so many people who have always talked shit about karl, using coded language, generally being nasty towards him, act like they’ve always supported him
Sometimes you watch your team win and it makes you emotional. I’ve been living and dying with this Timberwolves team since they were playing in the Metrodome. They were devastated by injuries tonight and still pulled it out against a great Nuggets team. What a night for sports in Minnesota.
Denver Nuggets got eliminated by a Minnesota Timberwolves team that had 4 major players out
Jamal Murray's brand is at an all time low, Jaden McDaniels exposed him
Nikola Jokic's best player in the world title is officially revoked
It's over yall
still in awe
closeout game, down 3 starters, took over as a #1 option while picking up 94 FT and holding an All-NBA, All-star guy to 12 points.
played 45 minutes and the entire second half
HANG IT IN THE RAFTERS
Arguably the goat of his sport (clear to me but I understand the debate), self-made billionaire, role model (married to his HS sweetheart, dedicated father, supported all of his friends in their business endeavors and carried them up with him, leader to his community, etc.). The guy’s life reads like a cheesy Disney channel protagonist with how amazing the real story is.
Yet there’s a cottage industry of sports commentators and media that made you hate this guy for 2+ decades because he was maybe better than their guy. I’ll never understand it. I’m annoying about it because it literally makes no sense. Repeatedly broke every narrative they tried to say about his game, his leadership, his mindset, etc. Never gave them ammo for off the court BS countless great athletes did over the years.
