    Hey guys, the favourite isn't spelt wrong (I'm the UK).
    Anyways, just wondering who people's fave player has been over the years. If its KG, put a second choice as well as it will be interesting to see who the most popular TWolf not named KG is.

    My Nomination : Terrell Brandon : I loved the way he calmly ran the point and how our record always improved with him in the side. And how he never missed a free throw (93 of 94) in one season. And how he's rarely turn the ball over. A classic Timberwolf, who I miss.

    Well I haven't been watching the NBA for a long time, so I really don't know. I can only read about their history.

    But I would nominate Trenton Hassell. I just love his defense. He can just stop almost anyone with his great defense. I just hope he gets more votes for the next all-defense team.

    Well, I don't really know the history of the Timberwolves, so I won't be telling you the names of players from years ago.

    Personally I love KG, but If I had to choose someone else it would be Troy Hudson when he isn't injured. I was amazed the time he was destroying the Lakers in the playoffs ( now he's called the "Laker Killer" ) Ever since that time, I've loved him, seeing I don't like the Lakers [​IMG]

    After KG it would be Hudson. Hes always been a strong player for us and wll hopefully continue to be. I would pick Sammy too, but he hasn't been on the team long enough.

    My thoughts exactly, I was gonna say Sam Cassell too, but I said Hudson for the exact same reason. Great minds think alike?

    Or are we just stupid?

    Hmmmm...

    Hmm....... Tony Campbell, Pooh Richardson, Ndudi Ebi, and Troy Hudson come to mind when not naming KG as the favorite Wolf. But I would have to say Hudson, because he is amazing on offense and you gotta love the dreads.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Eren3:</div><div class="quote_post">wat bout marbury?</div>

    We have a nice point guard tradition with Stephon, Billups, Brandon, Troy, Sam, and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone.

    I'll go with Marbury for second favorite alltime wolf.

    Pooh Richardson was secretly one of the better point guards in t-wolves history. And if Billups is on the list then you forgot Terry Porter & Micheal Williams as well.

    My favorite Timberwolves player of all-time Sam Cassell. Why? because his my favorite player of all-time. So any team he steps on he automatically becomes the best player everin that franchise for me on a personal side.

    But the all-timberwolf's not named Sam Cassell lol are:

    Tony Campbell & Sam Mitchell because they basically built te foundation for the wolves, they took all the lump's so the wolves could grow as a franchise. Sam Mitchell is grandpa t-wolf.

    Chuck Person not only because of his 2 years with the wolves. But also because he was one of the most entertaining shooters of all time with the spurs & Pacers. This is just another personal pick fo me(similiar to sam iam), I dont expect alot of wolves fans to chose Chuck,cause his impact on the franchise wasnt that of say Sam Mitchell who started the foundation or KG who built the legacy.

    Sidney lowe because has been involved in the wolves franchise from the very begining in every possible way as a player, then head coach & assistant coach. You have to respect the impact he has had on the wolves franchise.

    And KG goes without saying such an easy choice. And Spree will be there before he retires as a timberwolf.

    And Doug West gets an honorable mention imo. He lost cool points lol, when he said he use to step on the court drunk, you just cant do that. You are letting the rest of you teammates down imo. So he drops from & all-time wolf to a honorable mention.

    Although he did almost nothing in his entire career I have to put JR Rider up in here. He came in with the Wolves and was their most exciting player during his tenure here. With my limited knowledge of Wolves history this is the best I can come up with.

    And Terrell Brandon as well. He was one of the most efficient point guards in the NBA during the time he was healthy.

    Can't forget Stephon Marbury when he was paired up with KG. I thought they would do some amazing things in the league together, too bad it could not work out that way.

    And lastly Sam Mitchell just because he is the Raptors new head coach. [​IMG]

    Its a tie between KG and Malik Sealy for me. To bad Maliks stay was so short. He was just coming into his own.

    Kevin Garnett, Terrell Brandon, Ndudi Ebi, Troy Hudson, Sam Cassell, Latrell Spreewell and Michael Olowakandi. Theres a lot of favorite all time players that were on the wolves but out of all the ones I mentioned its gotta be Terrell Brandon or Spree.

    Besides Garnett it's Terrell Brandon and Hudson. Brandon is a great PG, but it's sad to see his career just about end with that knee injury. And Hudson I also enjoy to watch play, especially when he tore it up against the Lakers a couple years back.
