It's 2004 and the Sacramento Kings and the Minnesota Timberwolves are in the final seconds of a prolonged, testy battle to determine who advances in the playoffs to face the mighty Los Angeles Lakers. Poetically the deciding moment, either overtime or game time, comes down to a fascinating long-standing matchup: Kevin Garnet vs Chris Weber. To appreciate this moment we should understand the intertwined history of those two revolutionary players.
It's not like none of this no-good nonfeasance is nonsensically not not on brand or notoriously novel and nonetheless nostalgically and nonchalantly quite noticeably nominal no?
