OT: Of all people, I ran into K Love tonight.

[LOBO 7]

Some of you may know me as "that guy that saw Rambis at the grocery store", but now you can refer to me as "that guy that basically knows Rambis and Love".

Tonight, at a pretty underground warehouse party, I ran smack into K Love. We're talking basically underground local Minneapolis music, at, of all places, the Love Power church. Super crowded, I'm wiggling up a stairway, some really tall dude is wiggling down. I look up, see Kevin looking down. Double-take, yep, it's him. With no hesitation I grab his arm and tell him I'm one of the biggest fans on the planet, that the wins will come soon. He smiles, thanks me, says he know the wins will come soon, and we continue wiggling up/down the crowded stairway.

He was nice, but seemed like he felt awkward being in such a crowded, dark, public place. He hung out for about an hour, watching Sims from Doomtree, and left.

Anyways, it was pretty surreal. I didn't hesitate to talk to him, but I was definitely star struck. Earlier today I had written a rant about how unbelievable he has been playing: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1083536

...and tonight I talked to him. Strange. Never in my life had I run into any NBA players or coaches anywhere. Then, within a month I run into Rambis and Love. Apparently, the universe understands how big of a Wolves fan I am.

I love doomtree but I probably couldn't go to a concert with all those hipsters around me

[jade_hippo]

You just have to remember hipsters are likely more afraid of you than you are them. and don't get into arguments about who knows about more about bands no one knows about. K-Love looking like a creeper in the background though, its like he's charging his lasers like a cat getting its picture taken.

you should've gotten really excited and said "holy ****, its Nikola Pekovic!" Then say "oh" and go back to talking to your friends when he says he's Kevin Love.

Yeah, that's probably what I should have done. I'll do that the next time I run into him. I would love to run into Pek somewhere really random, like Home Depot or something.
Seriously though, last night I had enough liquid courage in me that I would have talked to Kevin a lot, but it was really loud and really crowded, so I would have basically had to yell in his ear, which would have been more than slightly awkward.

@Lobo,
I'm so pleased you told him about the wins coming soon (that sounds sarcastic, but it's not, can't seem to phrase it un-sarcasitcally)
I'm serious I think anyone that bumps into K-Love should remind him of this.
We're so close

[Beas]

Whoa wouldn't expect to see him there haha, big doomtree fan myself. Maybe you'll see Beasley somewhere next or something.

[The J Rocka]

Pretty awesome Lobo.

I hope to meet Beas or Love (not at Target Center for pre-game autographs) someday, most likely at MOA or Best Buy.

[GopherIt!]

Well I met Love before he got all famous with his 20-20 & 30-30 stuff.

$25 says that if Flynn goes anywhere that crowded in the Twin Cites, he would walk out with a knife in his chest.

sad but true. Flynn has a lot to learn about being a play-maker but for gods sakes, he's an athlete with good handles and passing. It's looking like it wont be here, but there's no doubt in my mind, Flynn becomes a valuable role player on a contender.

[shangrila]

You keep this up Lobo and security is going to have your picture

[Yes We Kahn]

Pretty cool lobo. The only player I've seen was Foye at a Best Buy. All I could think to say was, "Hey Randy." I'd like to run into Darko, Beas, and Love. It would be cool to see Pek in person just to witness his size.

No doubt? Huh.

There's hardcore enough Wolves fans that they would stab a 2nd year PG coming back from injury, because he isn't playing well?

Man I really underestimated our fanbase.

[Devilzsidewalk]

luckily the chances of running into a Timberwolves fan are about 1 in 75 billion

[Rolf]

That's awesome! I was actually at that party too, but didn't spot KLove. The room where Sims performed wasn't very big, so I'm kind of surprised I missed a 6'9" guy.
