Boston Celtics superstar Kevin Garnett gave us something last night that America has lacked for decades- a good, fun to watch postgame interview. In fact this one, which you can watch after the jump, is much better than the “anything is POSSSSSSIBLE” interview from the 2008 NBA Finals.
This one will likely be referred to as the “bar fight” interview. The Chicago native and greatest player in Minnesota Timberwolves history will be trending on the internet for awhile today

Playoff team.
Those two words haven’t been associated with the Minnesota Timberwolves since their run to the Western Conference Finals in the 2003-04 season.
But with Kevin Love now signed to a four-year maximum contract extension, the emergence of rookie point guard Ricky Rubio, the promising play of number two overall pick Derrick Williams, and the sheer brilliance of head coach Rick Adelman, considering the Wolves to be at least a fringe playoff team is quite an upgrade over the putrid past seven seasons.
The question needs to be asked, what are the odds this Timberwolves team makes the playoffs THIS season?
The Minnesota Timberwolves signed their guy.
According to multiple media outlets, the Wolves and superstar Kevin Love have reached an agreement on a contract extension that will keep the 23-year old in Minnesota for at least four more seasons.
Love’s maximum contract is estimated to be worth 62 million dollars over the duration of the four-year deal. [Read more...]
The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to a respectable 7-10 start to the 2011-12 NBA season.
Ricky Rubio is showing that he has all the makings to be a superstar point guard. While Kevin Love is having one of the best individual seasons of any player in recent memory.
In watching the Timberwolves, there is an obvious surplus of average to above average players on the wing. And that’s not even factoring in the absence of injured Martell Webster and Malcom Lee.
While the Wolves could be considered a fringe playoff team, there’s a few moves that the Wolves could make to speed up the rebuilding process, and be considered a legitimate playoff team this spring.
Here are five fake trades that the Minnesota Timberwolves could make. [Read more...]
Minnesota Timberwolves’ rookie point guard Ricky Rubio is currently third amongst Western Conference guards in the newly released all-star fan vote.
Through 14 games, Rubio is averaging 10.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game for the 6-8 Wolves.
Rubio is miles behind Laker’s guard Kobe Bryant and Clipper’s guard Chris Paul in the guard vote, but the fact that he’s ahead of other big name guards in the Western Conference shows the immense respect that fans have for Rubio. [Read more...]
With just six days before the January 25th deadline to sign Kevin Love, the Minnesota Timberwolves appear to be set to offer the 23-year old Love the maximum contract that he has played himself into.
According to a Minneapolis based newspaper, the TImberwolves are ready to offer Love his max deal.
Love, who is 4th in the league in scoring averaging 25.2 points per game and 2nd in the league in rebounding at 14.5 rebounds per game, has performed worthy of a max contract through the first 14 games this season.
The Timberwolves have two different maximum contract options for arguably the best power forward in the NBA.
The lockout shortened 2011-12 season has flown by. The Minnesota Timberwolves started on December 26th, and have played 13 games through January 16th. That is 13 games in 22 days! Unreal.
But it has been a blast.
There has been great games seemingly every night. And we have seen numerous teams do the unthinkable and win the third leg of a back-to-back-to-back.
What we have also seen in this shortened season is some younger talents rise their games to the elite level. While there has also been some familiar faces having their typical phenomenal years.
With the season just over three weeks in, this seems to be the right time to debut my list of the top 12 NBA players.
