That 22yo isnt just built for winning a playoff game on the road, he's built for taking a teams soul on their home court.

[@dakotaf2773]

Definitely giving Jordan vibes

[@Dotification]

Ohh a couple of MN media members that have gone national. I wonder if Tom & Steve miss their old beats now that 2-3 of the 4 men's teams are looking up. Steve & Britt Robson were definitely covering KG's Wolves back in the day.

[@kentmilbrandt3989]

Finch and his staff deserve credit for the Wolves rise to greatness.

[@ToddPro]

Great stuff, Steve is an icon in the area

[@slundberg12]

Dotcom Tom and Aschy!

[@Phizzo4real]

"Maybe they wont go a step further, maybe they will be looking to defending and repeating" I love how he slickly predicts a Wolves Championship. I wont be slick about it, Wolves winning it all this year. We wouldn't if that defense drops and the role players suddenly become lethargic. which i dont see either happening, some will have off nights, but all season 1 or 2 players ALWAYS step up. And the defense has been the one constant all season long.

Ant is MVP

[@ryjbecker]

The Rudy trade puzzled me last year with all they gave up for him. But with Anthony Edwards stepping up this year as an outspoken leader? I think he's both changed KAT's and Rudy's game this year. Especially with the post game interview where he basically called out KAT for not catching too many early game fouls. I also think that Taylor might have had a little reason for trying to keep more of an advantage, keeping a majority ownership with how well they've done. The deal with ARod seemed pretty straight forward. We've been through this before when KG tried to buy a stake in the team in 2021 and was denied... It just so happened in ANT's rookie season where he broke out as a potential superstar. He's at this point today, and ARod got cut out too... Hmmm.......

[@kbrewers]

Tommy P a Minnesotan? nice!

[@mpls1982]

Yup. He's a minnesota sports fan

[@Dotification]

He used to cover the Vikings before going national

[@wtfminny]

He was the internet guy at KFAN radio. Dot Com Tom

[@LucidLoveSociety]

WOLVES BACK

[@WaterCurrent]

Glen the 🐍

[@jon-quijano]

Glen Taylor is the worst owner in sports and has to go. He has short circuited this team at every step of the way with his clownish decision making. His dumpster fire exit is just another example. He can’t be gone soon enough.

[@jcmn02]

Valuable opinions with current talent c'mon 😊 don't

[@tallen651]

Reporters have mentioned that ARod was selling his stake at the $2.5B base and not the $1.5B and that probably ticked off Glen. They aren't hitting their goals and they are trying to make money on the minority partners they are bringing to the table. I think he would have had to complete the sale if they were prepared and got the money in ahead of schedule. Glen may have saved the Wolves for Minnesota a second time.

[@timmurphy1215]

No more Glen. Worst owner ever.

[@richardjohnson9305]

​​@@timmurphy1215He would have never made the choices A Rod and Lore made. Glen has nothing to do with the great team and culture they built
