The Minnesota Timberwolves see what the Vikings are doing and want to keep the momentum together. We saw several Vikings players showing their support for the team during the NBA Finals run last season. Now, they have an added layer to the connection they have outside of the city.
The Timberwolves recently traded star player Karl Anthony-Towns to the New York Knicks in exchange for two players, one of whom was Donte DiVincenzo. Ironically enough, DiVincenzo was a high school teammate with Vikings offensive tackle Brian O’Neill on the hardwood.
Speaking at his introductory press conference, he shared that they had some decent success together. DiVincenzo shared “We won what, two state championships together I think, big fella, love him to death.”
The Vikings will continue to support the Timberwolves with his connection. Perhaps they even try to have some basketball players at practice and games to boost the connection. To Minnesota’s credit, the entire city does a great job lifting each other up; this is another fun example of that.
