An intro from Down Under
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2015 11:07 pm
Hi all - first time poster, long time stalker. I'm a Wolves fan from Australia, just across the ditch from KiwiMatt. I started supporting the Wolves when I was 11, way back in 1992. My mum bought me a pair of sports socks and a hat while my mates were supporting the Bulls, Knicks and Rockets. I often wonder how different my life, and blood pressure, would be if the socks and hat were different colours.
I grew up catching fleeting glimpses of the Wolves on 'NBA Action' - we got it about a week late in Australia - and haven't looked back. My wife and I visited Minny for the first time last year and caught four games in eight nights. It was a great experience and our story was immortalised on the interwebs: http://www.nba.com/timberwolves/news/australian-fans-enjoy-first-trip-target-center
Anyway guys, just wanted to say hello and thought today was as good as any to join the forum. I'll be watching the NBA Draft live from 9.30am local time, though I'd rather be at Target Centre or one of the nearby bars that I spent far too much time in during my visit.
