Our Kyle Ratke was able to speak with former Timberwolf Doug West in part to promote the Apr. 9 replay of the 1997 Timberwolves win over the Bulls but also touched on the early years of the franchise, the Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury duo and more.
This interview was edited and condensed for clarity.
Ratke: A lot of people reading this probably don’t know what it was like watching Michael Jordan in his prime or obviously being on the court with him. What was it like playing against those Bulls teams and Michael in particular?
