Good Job Wolves fans

Post by thedoper »

All of this talk about our potential has made me be a bit nostalgic. The defining characteristic of Wolves fans seems to be perseverance. Not only have we endured JJ Barea, we actually debated his merits. Some of the older crew here has been through Ratner and Wolfenson, Pooh, Felton Spencer, Paul Grant, Isaiah Rider (and I love me some JR), Marbury leaving, Taylor and the Joe Smith Debacle taking away a chunk of Garnett's time here, Malik Sealy, McHale, 2004 (2003 was amazing, then oh no), the Dark ages, telfair, Kahn, Rambis, and plenty more. Good job Wolves fans for sticking around. All of you are loyal to a fault. Despite disagreements we certainly have a unique disposition and it sure feels nice to debate potential.

I've been a fan from the beginning. Honestly the Wolves got be back into the NBA after the Bird Celtics era had ended. I also watched Flip coach in the CBA for the Skyforce. I remember the announcers basically screaming at Luc Longley to dunk the ball. I remember beating some younger clueless kids that had some cheat codes on NBA jam with my Wolves raining 3's with Laettner and epic jams with Doug West (and Laettner too lol). Ive spent a decent chunk of money for league pass to watch mostly terrible teams the last few years. Despite all the lows there have been more good memories than bad for me. I'm looking forward to this era of Wolves basketball.

I've been there from the beginning too, we had season tickets in the Metrodome and the Early target Center era. I remember Bird being horribly injured the 1st Wolves season. I had never seen the Celtics live in person until that year and they were a shell of themselves. McHale was the only healthy player on their team that game and he absolutely killed us. I was struck how dominant he was because as a kid watching the Celts on TV it was hard to tell just how amazing he was with Bird doing his insane other worldly feats.

The craziest player I saw in person in the early era was Olajuwan. He was all over them defensively. Such an amazing talent.

It really is all good memories for me too because I love the game so much. But I am ready to be spoiled a bit with this group.

Just how good was Bird?

He still averaged 24.3 / 9.5 reb / 7.5 ast over 75 games in that 1990 season.
