Naz Reid has a confession. As a young NBA player, he would check social media after games to see what fans were saying about him.
The answer was always two words:
Naz Reid.
That's it. That was the entire composition of most tweets about the Timberwolves backup big man. No explanation, no details. Just his name.
Even now, same thing. Wednesday night, a fan held up a poster at Target Center that read: Two words. Naz Reid.
His name is no longer just a name. It's become a greeting among Wolves fans, something of a secret handshake.
