The Rudy Gobert Flagrant Time Bomb

Rudy Gobert picked up another flagrant Friday night. Another suspension. Another entry in what’s quietly become one of the strangest subplots of this Timberwolves season: the Frenchman vs. The Whistle. This time it happened under the basket against Dallas. Gobert and Marvin Bagley III were wrestling for position like two heavyweight boxers in a phone […]

The Era of Ant is Upon Us

It was February of 2003.
