Jonah Ballow/Timberwolves site is keeping a diary that chronicles the All-Star weekend experience through the eyes of Jonny Flynn and Kevin Love
From Eric Nelson/WCCO:
Flynn gets a chance to showcase his talents Friday night. The Timberwolves point guard will play in the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge that is part of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend in Dallas.
“It’s definitely an honor to be a part of All-Star weekend, especially my first time as a rookie going down there, and with my teammate Kevin Love, so I’m just looking forward to having a blast down there and playing in the game,” Flynn said.
From Sid Hartman:
Timberwolves forward Kevin Love was asked if playing on a losing team was not any fun and if he wanted to be traded. “Do I want to be traded? No. Will I be traded? Who knows?” he said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen, anything can happen at this point with our team. I’m just hoping to be here, because I’ve kind of settled in here the past two years. I like it here.”
From the Associated Press:
Minnesota Timberwolves prospect Ricky Rubio (FSY) has been named the best young male player in Europe for the third year in a row.
The Timberwolves said Thursday the honor comes from the European division of the international basketball governing body FIBA.
