I often wonder what would have been, had Sandler played in the NBA, and Kevin Garnett was a comedian.

Thank god Thibbs didn’t want this guy in the ears of the team, because he wanted his own voice being the only one being listened to by the other players. Towns and Wiggins as well as any other player on the team certainly couldn’t have gotten anything out of it. Thibbs thinking Butler was the type of leadership any team needed showed how fucked up he was and that whole thing was never going to work.

Giving Thibbs full control and then (Thibbs/Taylor) pushing KG out was maybe that biggest opportunity wasted out of that whole debacle.

Now the Wolves have reversed course and will now have many coaching voices in the players ears, thankfully Ryan’s ego isn’t as big as Thibb’s to believe he knows more about every part of the game and isn’t intimidated by using them as assets. I believe this will pay bigger dividends for players like Okogie, Culver and the new draft picks this year and in the future.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

Also...Congrats to KG!!!

I wish Sandler would do more serious roles like this, just probably not as much money in them as his comedy films sadly.

He's got a couple serious ones, and they are pretty awful...

Bulletproof is not a serious movie, and I think its vastly underrated.

I feel like it shows up on cable about that often. Ha not like I put in the VHS tape, although I think I do or did own it at one point...likely stole it from Movies movies movies on a rental.

The one thing I would love for Ryan to pull off is the return of KG. BEFORE the Towns trade request would be nice. It kills me to think of what Towns might be if KG stayed that 2nd year. I was fine with them moving on from KG................right up until it became apparent the only reason Towns played D was because of his fear of KG.

I saw this yesterday morning. KG did a great job playing himself. He didn't have to play a character or carry the movie, so it's hard to compare his performance to other athletes. But even his supporting role, he vaulted himself up pretty high on the list, in my opinion.

This clip doesn't show you much of his performance, but it's the longest clip I could find:
