No. 1 Wolf

Garnett may have announced his retirement on Friday after 21 seasons, but his name will rest comfortably in the Timberwolves record book for years to come. He has a gaping lead in multiple statistical categories, so if any Wolves player (present or future) wants to catch him, he has a lot of work to do.

It’s OK to want more from the Wolves, even though they’re on track for their fifth consecutive trip to the playoffs.
