Standing in the blue corner, at six-foot-nine inches tall, out of LSU, Meet the Nazmanian Devil: Naz Reid of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Slouching in the red corner, shaking in their boots, is the rest of the NBA trying to figure out a way to slow this Wolves team down after winning their fifth game in a row. The Timberwolves currently hold the top spot in the NBA’s Western Conference Standings.
Minnesota Timberwolves fans are enjoying a somewhat belated revival at the Target Center this season. They are on a roll, sporting a 16-4 record after playing 20 games of their 2023-24 NBA Season. Charles Barkley and quite a few million others have plates full of crow waiting for them at the breakfast table this morning.
Despite constant negative publicity from the national media, the Wolves continue proving doubters wrong everywhere. Some people think this recent success is unusual but for Wolves fans, this resurgence is long overdue.
Over the offseason, many Wolves fans already knew what they had in Naz Reid, they’ve known about the Nazmanian Devil for years. This is a guy the entire fanbase did not want to lose even though he was set to hit free agency. In fact, a majority of Wolves fans thought Naz Reid was gone the moment the free agency window opened.
It’s no secret that Wolves fans love Naz Reid, losing him to free agency would have left hardcore fans howling at the moon for the rest of his career. When news broke that the Nazmanian Devil would be back with the Wolves for at least three more years, fans rejoiced in disbelief while letting out a collective sigh of relief.
Wolves fans are so used to players wanting to leave Minneapolis, but this guy wanted to stay? Talk about a changing of the guard. Fans certainly make their love known for the Nazmanian Devil throughout Minnesota:
Since returning to the Wolves, all the Nazmanian Devil has done is make it rain buckets. He rewards the faithful Minnesota fanbase with miraculous offensive basketball nearly every night his feet grace the court. You can pretty much let the ink dry on that NBA Sixth Man of the Year nomination for Naz Reid. He’s currently 10th in the league in bench scoring while averaging only 22 minutes per game.
While waiting for the ink to dry on that Naz Reid nomination, you might as well finish completing your Tim Connelly for GM of the Year nomination. Why?
First of all, when everyone was criticizing the Timberwolves while hammering the media with bullshit stories about how the team was exploring Karl-Anthony Towns trade options, Connelly stood pat. Good for him. He had the balls to make the trade in the first place, kudos to him for believing in his little blue pill until he was ready to stand and deliver.
Secondly, Connelly found a way to keep Naz Reid in a Minnesota Timberwolves uniform for at least three more seasons. That alone should win him GM of the year but the Rudy Gobert-KAT pairing is really just more proof in the pudding. Then, this happened, the Nazmanian Devil shook Wemby out of his boots with this filthy hesi move:
Not only did that move seal the deal for Connelly to be the GM of the year, it also landed Naz Reid on the cover of TIME as the Person of the Year. Deservedly so, the Nazmanian Devil deserves a bit of recognition.
Also known as the Big Jelly, the Nazmanian Devil boasts the size of a modern-day NBA big while being able to dribble circles around defenders like a guard. His ballhandling skills are second only to those of Steve Martin in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles:
Of course, this is nothing new for Naz Reid. His offensive skills have been on full display since he was an undrafted rookie. Here is one of the Nazmanian Devil’s many signature moves:
Dig a little deeper and you’ll see the Nazmanian Devil showed flashes of the same unicorn skillset while in college at LSU. The fact this guy went undrafted shows the ineptitude of most NBA front offices. Way to go, Minnesota Timberwolves, you found a true diamond in the rough. Here you can see Naz Reid laying the rules down in the schoolyard back in the day at the McDonald’s All American Game:
If you haven’t heard of Naz Reid before, you’re in for a treat when he comes to town. He puts on an offensive basketball clinic and his defense brings the kind of “get that shit outta here” hustle you love to see. In case you want a Nazmanian Devil 101 crash course on how to get balls deep and score more, this is it:
One thing is certain, the Nazmanian Devil is taking the NBA by storm. This guy is the real deal. Here’s the real kicker, he’s only 24 years old. The Nazmanian Devil is just about to enter the prime of his career, a window that should be open for a very long time with his athleticism and skills.
Speaking of openings, how does that Minnesota Timberwolves championship window look? It’s looking wide open for a while. Besides Gobzilla and Mike Conley, this team has a very young core locked up, under contract, for the foreseeable future. Outside of an unforeseen injury, anything less than an NBA Finals appearance would be a surprise ending for this Cinderella story.
Success is not something Wolves fans are used to so there is really no external pressure on this team. That’s what makes it so enjoyable to witness as a spectator, you are seeing a young team growing into their own and having a blast doing it. This is what sports should be all about. Just enjoy the ride. You deserve this, Wolves fans!
