One big advantage of having such an awful basketball team this late in the season is that there are plenty of good seats available at home games. The Timberwolves lost by 20 points to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Nothing unusual about that. Blowout losses have become the expectation with the Wolves, rather than a cause of concern.
The reason that the game caught my eye was the presence of two local celebrities among the 12,111 people that were reportedly in attendance. These two figures are outstanding citizens in the local community. The work that they've done for the children of the Twin Cities is outstanding.
They are both extremely active in metro-area softball leagues and late-night Rockband sessions. Their dancing styles and love of scotch have caused them to become the ideal role models for young men throughout the state. Can you guess who it was?
That's right! It was none other than Nathan Andrew Lampi and Charles Carmichael Kroenenburg sitting directly behind the Wolves bench on Tuesday. Here is some blurry documentation of the event.
CoacHale would often look to them for advice throughout the contest. Kevin Love asked them whether he could play softball on ice with them next year. Mark Madsen asked if he could be part of the whole "Livin'" movement that was beginning to spread through the street of Eden Prairie. Randy Foye asked whether both of them regretted not attending Apple Valley High School (they both said yes to this).
You never know who you are going to see at a game. It could be Prince, it could be AP, or it could be a deadly combo of Lampi and CK. One can dream.
