There are few complaints to be made over the effort that has been put forward by Minnesota's four representatives in the major men's professional leagues this year, which is not something that can be claimed regularly when Christmas arrives.
Here's the Yuletide cheer — Big Four, men's division — in order of pleasantness of the surprise (mine, maybe not yours):
TIMBERWOLVES
My slogan for our NBA franchise for numerous years has been this: "Even when the Timberwolves do the right thing, it's the wrong thing."
Example: Tom Thibodeau is the No. 1 coaching free agent and gets hired by owner Glen Taylor in 2016 to bring the Wolves out of the abyss.
