Minnesota Timberwolves
One of the ‘Original Wolves’ -Doug is 3rd on the list of games played for the Minnesota Timberwolves with 609. (‘89-’98) The High Flying Guard was selected by the Wolves in the 2nd round of the 1989 Draft out of Villanova. Happy B-Day Fresh !!
Let’s give it up for our Bud Michael Williams. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard holds the NBA record for most consecutive Free Throws made. Williams sank # 97 straight from the charity stripe over 19 games from March 24th to November 9th, of 1993. His eighty four in a row to finish the ‘92-’93 season surpassed the previous record of 78 set by Calvin Murphy in 1981. Mike hit his first thirteen of the fresh season before missing one in a 110-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on November 9th.
I’ve got a FREE Issue of Blaze # 12 going to the fan who can tell us who ranks 2nd on the list & how many they made in a row.
A Sunday salute to our bud Mr. Tyrone Corbin who recorded the first triple-double in Minnesota Timberwolves history, when he racked up 10 points, 13 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists, against the Dallas Mavericks back on January 2, 1991.
Jerome ‘Pooh’ Richardson Jr. was the first draft pick in Minnesota Timberwolves history. The former UCLA guard was selected 10th overall in the 1989 draft. Pooh was voted first team all rookie for the ‘89-’90 season which saw the expansion Wolves go 22-60. Happy Birthday Pooh!
