Lee Jenkins SI on Jimmy Butler and Wolves

[thedoper]

Jenkins is still one of the best writers in sports. Haven't read it yet and I'm sure it's not earth shattering.

Just finished the article. It's going to be hard not to love Butler on this team. What a great match for the Minnesota culture too. Great read.

Thanks for posting. It was good to get a better idea what makes this guy tick. Sounds like he doesn't intend to let this team fail.

Thanks for posting. Butler is a pretty interesting dude.

One of the interesting things about that article was Butler saying Thibs had mellowed some and added a "human element".

Great article. Thanks for posting, Doper. Butler's presence should elevate this team tremendously through both his play and his impact on his teammates.

Well, that was fun...thanks for posting, doper. Butler's definitely a weird guy, but I like him a lot. If he and the team are successful and he resigns here in two years, he'll retire as the most popular Wolf of all time. And Thibs is a weird guy too, so it's not surprising that they have such a close, special relationship. This is going to be fun.
