Greatest Moment: It was February in 1989 at the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome when Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics made their first appearance in Minnesota. I have always been a big Larry Bird fan, watching him and Magic Johnson on TV from my home in South Dakota. I bought courtside seats for the first game as soon as they went on sale. I remember just being overwhelmed the first time the Green & White took the court. There was Larry Legend, Robert “Big Chief Parrish” and Kevin McHale coming into the Metrodome, and I was in awe. Pure awe. When Bird fouled out with 2 minutes left in the game, I took off. The Timberwolves actually won that game, and I was pissed.
Favorite All-Time Timberwolves: Cherokee Parks, Christian Laettner and J.R. Rider.
Favorite Moment as Fan of the Timberwolves: The playoffs in 2004 with Latrell Sprewell, Kevin Garnett, and Sam Cassell (KG, Spree and the Alien) lit it up and almost got a Minnesota NBA team to the championship again.
Biggest Personal Achievement at a Twolves Game: I was picked as Fan of the Game in 2005 because I was wearing a throwback Kevin Garnett jersey, and Timberwolves hat from 1989.
Favorite Timberwolves Draft pick: Felton Spencer? Ah hell, who am I kidding, that person is yet to be drafted. I guess the Ricky Rubbio pick in 2009 could be the one though.
Favorite Target Center Song:“Heard it in a Love Song” by the Marshall Tucker Band, who played it live during a Wolves Draft Party in 1990 or 1991.
Best Autograph obtained:None
