Timberwolves (Don't) Got The Shakes.

This story is pretty old. It is kind of what basketball blogging is for me. You guys can get all fancy with your analysis or your stats, but for me the NBA's highlights are watching games and seeing how the personalities work on and off the court.

So here is the story: Kevin Love got a rebound in late October, he was fouled, as he was going to shoot the free throw, the camera captured an awkward handshake.

This is like when Bill Walker was caught peeing on the sideline, or when KG got on all 4's to guard someone. A random but happy moment accidentally captured by the good people at foxsports.

So the video made rounds, and everyone had some laughs. The story passed...but not for Jonah Bellow, the Minnesota Timberwolves web editor/reporter.

He investigated. Here is the video:

Very funny IP, especially the follow-up piece done.  TP.

It's always nice to see people who are able to take a good sense of humor about things.  And I enjoy how they mock the plethora of media out there that are looking for things like this to make into something serious.

...  I'm just imagining, if this happened to the Celtics, let's say Rondo and Delonte missed on a high-five like this, there'd be eight hundred pages of a panicked "OMG!  Delonte and Rondo hate each other!  What are they going to do!  Cut Delonte!  Trade Rondo!" thread.

My favorite part of it is how straight Kevin Love and the rest of the staff plays it, including Johnny Flynn. Wes Johnson breaks a little, but Kevin Love, Johnny Flynn, Cee-Lo from Goody Mob..they're straight pros.
