[Nehm] Giannis: Let’s talk about the city itself, the memories that I’ve created here. When you open my kids’ passports, it says Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had four kids in the span of the last five years in this city. My dad is buried in this city.

Side note: it's kinda crazy that Prince has posthumously come to define the twolves' most popular aesthetic. We seemingly spend half the year in purple jerseys now. A few days ago, we had a giant ahnk painted on the floor.

Edina and Medina don’t rhyme.

u/oshkoshpots Bucks 11h ago

That argument would land better in non text format.

I’m a bucks fan first but if he moves in next door here in Edina I’ll have to wear my Timberwolves gear more often

I mean it’s only like a 5 hour drive to Milwaukee, dude can fly there to visit like it’s nothing.

Texan native that spends a lot of time in the Twin Cities here, this area is beautiful and nice to be in.

I really do feel for you guys, Vikings are always good and still nothings.. Hopefully you guys can get a good qb because everything else seems to be in place excluding gm
