The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the cusp of their most successful era in nearly two decades. Fresh off consecutive playoff appearances for the first time since 2004, the Wolves are loaded with talent and primed to achieve even more in year two of the Rudy Gobert experiment.
The meteoric rise of Anthony Edwards has obviously been a huge part of Minnesota’s recent ascent, and Head Coach Chris Finch’s robust offensive approach gives this group a high ceiling. But one often undersold caveat to success in team sports is ownership.
Wolves fans are well aware that the franchise has been owned by business magnate and former Minnesota politician Glen Taylor since 1994.
