How long have you been a Timberwolves fan?

[AbeVigodaLive]

Not just a fan because your Aunt bought you a Timberwolves jersey from Kohl's for Christmas. I'm talking following the team and knowing what's actually going on with the game of basketball.

My family had season tickets at the dome. Pooh forever.

Nice.

11 / 3 / 6 / 46% fg as a rookie.
17 / 4 / 9 / 47% fg in year 2

I bet I would have been on message boards back then saying that he was well on his way to surpassing Kevin Johnson.


[Note: He was traded to the Pacers, a playoff team, and his numbers took a nosedive immediately. My first lesson in "good stats on a bad team" type of guy. In fact, Pooh was replaced by Haywoode Workman (seriously) and the Pacers got better, missing the Finals in a game 7 loss.]

Pooh was untouchable. There is a joke in there somewhere I think.

F#ck Rick Mahorn!

Season ticket holder since Day I in TC (until I gave them up to go on my secret government mission to California), but went to 15-20 games at the Dome...still remember seeing Jordan that first year.

My first close encounter with the Wolves was a painful one. They didn't have any facilities yet, so they were using Harv and Marv's Northwest Club on 98th street for their workouts. I was coming back into town from a hunting trip, and had to shower the stink off before going to a Sunday night party, so I stopped there. I had the shower to myself until the entire Wolves team came in post-practice. I want to keep this PG-rated, so I will only say that I have never felt so inadequate in my entire life. Even Brad Lohaus made me look like a little boy.

I got my revenge a couple years later. The Wolves had now moved to Target Center but still had no gym of their own, so now they're using the downtown NW club...the same gym I used. One day I asked to work in on the leg press with 300-pound Felton Spencer, and I gave him a little wink as I added 30 pounds to the meagre amount he was lifting! The fact that I was out-lifting Felton says a lot about why he was such a flop.

Marbury's rookie year.

I'm only 22 so I have been a fan my whole life, but I Remember the western conference run pretty well

I hopped on the KG train back in his early early days. Marbury too. I'm not old enough for much previous to that, though, thank God.

As knowledgeable and unbiased as Jim Pete is, I'll always miss the Trent Tucker days (and such nuggets of wisdom as "never leave your feet to pass the basketball" and about 9-10 "young fella"s a game). And I always loved watching Spudd Webb step onto the court and hoping he'd get the chance to dunk.

I started watching in 92 . Back when expectations mattered less than just being happy to have a basketball team to root for. It's hard not to be bitter being a Minnesota Sports fan.
