Ricky Rubio

By now you probably know that All-Star forward Kevin Love is out six-to-eight weeks after breaking his shooting hand while doing push-ups. A theory has formed in the wake of Loves injury, and that theory is this. Are the Minnesota Timberwolves jinxed?

Minnesota Vikings currently sit tied for the lead in NFC North division. Fans should be out celebrating, because most experts predicted this team finishing anywhere from four-to-six wins, yet currently the Vikings have won four games, and realistically could win anywhere from 9-12 which would put them in playoff consideration. Lets forget the national media like ESPN, who has ignored the Vikings h

We just closed the book on the locked-shorten NBA season, and we have a new NBA champion(Miami Heat), yet I see a trend brewing in the NBA that would put the Minnesota Timberwolves as champions in three years.

It is June 1st, which means we are about half way through the sports year, and should we say it has been a failure for Minnesota sports so far in 2012. We did have about a two month span were the Minnesota Timberwolves were exciting, and were selling out the Target Center, yet those times came to a crashing halt when Ricky Rubio tore his ACL...

It has been almost 21 years since a (male) professional team has won a championship for Minnesota. I know the Minnesota Lynx won a championship last year, and kudos to them, but this story is going to be about the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Minnesota Wild.

As I'm sure you saw in a previous post by Tony Hart, some of the big names on the Timberwolves have been providing some entertainment on the big screen during time outs. I had the opportunity to check out a game recently and got to see a new release, featuring the guys taking on Britney Spears and her 1990's hit "...

Ricky Rubio has been fantastic so far in his young NBA career,  but I think if he came over when he was 19-years-old he would have weltered under the NBA pressure. Two years ago the Minnesota Timberwolves could not put together a decent team if their life depended on it, but now after many years of being a doormat for the Western Conference, they are on their way up.

Last night I went to my first Timberwolves game since the Kevin Garnett era. One thing that caught me off guard was that Target Canter was almost sold-out given the fact we were playing one of the best teams in the league the Chicago Bulls, but Even the upper deck was full. Another thing is Rubio mania was in full swing last night. Most of the fans were either wearing a Rubio shirt or jersey. Read

This week I am taking a different route then normal. I decided that the past few weeks of bashing Minnesota teams was getting old, so this week it will be all about the good things in Minnesota. Today might be the first time you have heard the name Timberwolves and the word buzz in the same sentence since the day Kevin Garnett left, but today I am starting the buzz.

The 5th overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft, Ricky Rubio finally landed in Minnesota and is ready to start playing for the Timberwolves.  The 2o year old point guard from Spain was the youngest player ever to play in the Spanish ACB League at the age of 14. See his clips from his press conference and fan reaction after the jump.
