Boy, we could really use a modern day version of this guy

Talented? Check
Unselfish? Check
Smart? Check
Mentally tough as nails? Double-check

He'd be shaking his head at they way our group of snowflakes are playing right now.

He'd probably call Wiggins a pussy and proceed to tell him how he was going to score each bucket on him. Huge Larry Legend fan.

This is the reason I would have liked to see Kevin Garnett stick around until we started winning games. I don't believe he would have put up with this crap. There may have been some fighting but someone needs to get pissed off and offended before there is a change.

For whatever reason, I'm thinking that guy will be Zach LaVine. I think he's the guy on this team that has the nuts to say what he wants and how he feels even if it isn't the easy thing to do. He's also seemed to have a good connection with Thibs from the get-go. Last week he got into Towns' ass during a timeout for not swinging the ball to him in the corner for a wide open three-pointer. He told a fan to "shut the fuck up" when he was badgering Rubio. He's also shown signs of being able to pick up teammates, specifically seen him pick up Towns, Wiggins, Muhammad, Bjelica, and Aldrich this season. Whoever it is, we need some leadership immediately.

Totally agree with that sediment with Lavine. The camera caught that interaction between him and KAT perfectly. He let him have it and rightfully so. I can't overstate my confidence in Lavine going forward. Watch his touches compared to Wiggins, almost all of Wiggins shots come off of one pass, 4 dribbles and a tough shot. He rarely passes. Zach's rarely touches the ball without making another pass in attempted to share and work the offense. Night and day in my opionion. Zach get a bad wrap for having a bad basketball IQ, I disagree with that opionion and have from the beginning.

Is it wrong that I felt compelled to watch the video in the link alone. In a dark room. Naked?



[Note: It was sullied, however, by the Magic stuff at the end. Larry Legend is definitely good enough to stand out on his own on his birthday.]
