It’s Minnesota Timberwolves Day at ESPN, or ‘Timberwolves: All-Access’, as they’ve coined it. Whatever you want to call it, the ‘worldwide leader in sports’ is in Minneapolis on Friday and they are running features on the Timberwolves all day long.

When in fact, they were just waiting for one day, so they can get it all out of their way, and get back to the big market teams they actually care about. So, we might as well soak it in.
