What Year Did you Become a Timberwolves Fan?
1993 - was the year I became a fan. Was a huge Bulls fan, because of Jordan, but 1993 was the year I became a Timberwolves fan.

There is little difference between the memory of a real event and the memory of a dream.

Re: What Year Did you Become a Timberwolves Fan?
I was at the inaugural draft party.
Here is a more appropriate question: when did you stop being a Timberwolves fan?
My answer, 2019 trade deadline. The WOlves had plenty of reasonably valuable pieces to dump at the deadline, even if it was for a minimal asset haul. Taj Gibson, Derrick Rose, Anthony Tolliver were all guys on expiring contracts I think the team could have received at least 2nd round picks for. They did nothing. Just sat there like this organization is just fine and dandy.
I will check in on them from time to time. I will follow their draft picks and moves. I might even comment on them from time to time. I might even go to an occarional game. They even might get me to jump on the bandstand a time or two, only to inevitably disappoint.
But, just like I dropped the NHL and in process of dumping MLB, I will with the WOlves too.

I've always been curious, how did a guy from Australia wind up being a Wolves fan?

Going through some random VHS tapes the other day and finding Timberwolves games from like 98 against the Hawks. I used to record some games as a kid and watch em back because I loved the way KG played. He made it look so smooth and effortless.

Played as the Wolves in NBA Hangtime because of the colours and the Wolf was cool, but I really became a fan after playing fantasy sports BBall with some friends and KG dominating. I started following him in games and essentially the Wolves in 02-03, and never looked back.

Yeah we went to a few games there too.
It was fun, they were new, and the crowds were big.

1989. I remember going to the inflatable toilet to watch my first NBA game and cheering on Pooh and Tony.
