Not only does being a Timberwolf not come easy, but neither does being a fan of Minnesota’s forlorn NBA franchise. We mention that because as we speak, there’s an installment of our Tales of Depression and Sorrow series in production featuring a first-hand account of suffering through nearly thirty years of Timberwolf basketball.
That’s why we thought this would be the perfect time to point out the resemblance between Lumber-Cub point guard Ricky Rubio and a guy in the semi-finals in the Last Living Beatle Tournament…Ringo “It Don’t Come Easy” Starr.
Stay tuned for some not-so-tall tales about Timberwolf fandom coming from a really-so-tall-guy…

I think an Octopus’ Garden in the shade has had a better record than the Timberwolves over the last few years.

I suspect that Mr Starkey had a more reliable jump shot than Mr Rubio.
Thanks for the tip on Brockmire. Shocked that your name was missing from the writing credits.

That is mighty high praise, kind sir…right up there with the “surprise finger in the kiester.”
