He [a team sponsor] would bring us to the games, and we were kids sitting courtside. Kobe was my favorite player, so I got to see Kobe at a young age. And just to see him—it was like seeing Jesus, you know what I mean? It was crazy. -via YouTube / December 6, 2024 Julius Randle: Yeah, man, because at that point, you think, like, if anything happens, it’ll be during the year, you know, right before the trade deadline. So, for it to happen two days before training camp was kind of crazy. The basketball part was easy, but adjusting to moving a family—that was harder. Like, my son had just started school. He was in school for a little bit, so that was probably the hardest part, just getting adjusted. But, you know, it’s cool now. We’re good. -via YouTube / December 6, 2024 During his recent appearance on the “Pardon My Take” podcast, the three-time NBA All-Star member talked about his wildest experience working out with the “Black Mamba.” “I’ve never been to a workout where I go, first off at 6:00, 5:00 in the morning, and we do defense for two hours,” narrated Randle. “We would have days where we would not dribble a basketball. And he was so technical like ‘You can’t slide that way,’ ‘You can’t move your feet.'” -via Basketball Network / December 6, 2024 Jon Krawczysnski: Anthony Edwards: “We didn’t really have it offensively. We shared the ball. We didn’t make shots. We turned the ball over at a high rate. But we played defense. Defense is what wins g

The Timberwolves had the NBA’s best defense over their last seven games. Then they held the Warriors to 90. It feels like they’re getting right on defense.
The questions then shift to offense, where the Randle fit is still iffy and Ant is the only perimeter player scoring. – 12:34 AM

Anthony Edwards is 2-for-10, and it’s three straight halves he hasn’t played well … and it hasn’t mattered for the Wolves. It’s 59-32 at halftime. Defense forced 11 turnovers. Offense assisted on 17 of 22 makes. – 11:32 PM

That’s about as perfect a quarter as the Timberwolves have played all season. Julius Randle and the defense are cooking, and the Wolves lead 33-14 after one. They’re 7-for-15 from three point range.
ZERO turnovers. – 11:01 PM
