He can opt out after next season. If he doesn't, his loyalty is off the charts. 🐺 can pay him big once Rudy's 💰 comes off the 📚 but still so far away. Ant, Jaden, & Naz seem like they made a pact to stay together..
Dane moore and others have pointed this out, but a huge part of why he is so beloved is that wolves fans always latch on to longshot prospects because when you cant root for wins, you have to find something to root for. None of those guys ever really worked out, so when Naz was the one who finally did, it was a big graduation moment for the franchise and its fans. We have bigger things to root for now. Naz Reid.
Well, Jaden McDaniels also worked out. Nobody had huge expectations from him. He not only exceeded expectations, he solidified them by being in a starting 5. For example, this year, the Wolves drafted Leonard Miller, and he has a similar build like McDaniels. Can the Wolves make him McDaniels's twin? It's hard to say, so far he's putting good numbers in the G-League with 9 games played, averaging 17.7pts, 6.8rebounds and just over 1 block per game - all that in 30 minutes of play time per game. McDaniels stands at 88kgs (194lbs) and 206cm (6' 7 1/2 '') and Miller is 95kgs(209lbs) at 208cm (6'8'') . Very similar body types. Miller seems more like Jarred Vanderbilt type of player.
Naz rules man. Been to four Wolves games this season. Nobody gets a bigger ovation than Naz when he checks into the game for the first time. Not even KAT or Ant lol.
Naz is a major reason why we are 20-5. Major kudos to the T-Wolves organization for re-signing him. I thought for sure we would lose him this year. No disrespect to Towns but Naz is so much more fun to watch
@@jaymarshall2754 So tell me how a wicked In and Out, and his nasty hesi has NOTHING to do with being a a supersized VERSION of Kyrie? Of course he's not at Kyrie's level, but for his size his movement on his drives show a semblance of a smaller guard with handles. And if you knew anything about basketball regionally, that's pretty on-brand for Big Men coming from the New York/New Jersey area. Look up Tim Thomas from Villanova.
@@Peezy71421 I appreciate the history lesson, so maybe comp a big with ball handling capabilities, not arguably the greatest one of all time. It takes away from Reid and Kyrie both.
For those who haven’t attended Target Center, when Naz does anything it is loud and audibly noticeable. You would think Naz is a beloved all star like Anthony Edwards or Kevin Garnet. TC loves NAIZ Reid.
That Miami game for the home opener was something else. The broadcast couldn't quite capture how DEAFENING the chants of "NAZ REID! NAZ REID! NAZ REID!" were.
Honestly, every sports franchise has that guy, and when they live up to their potential its an amazing thing. In 2022 when the padres' star shortstop got suspended for half the season, we had some relatively unknown korean player sub in for him. Everytime he's up to bat, the entire park is cheering his name. Fast forward about a year and that same unknown Korean player is outplaying guys on contracts that are 1/3 of a billion dollars and making a legit MVP case. It's always special to see an underdog that no analysts or commentators believe in make it big and prove everyone but the loyal fans wrong.
@hardwood_yt I believe it started on r/timberwolves, but that could also be wrong--surely it was basically simultaneous. Either way, it was a great "he's one of us!" moment when the tweet about Jaden doing it broke!
Man I love Naz Reid, as a wolves fan, my favorite is Ant but ever since that game against the warriors (I think) last year where he went off, Naz has been my number 2. In Naz we trust
How can you not be a fan of this guy? He went undrafted and worked to get to where he is now and now he is the X factor on the best team in the league. Super awesome
"No specific plays for him." So naz and kyrie are one of the few people in nba who play like 5s at a park or a gym yall just running and doing whatever comes to mind.
Naz reid must be protected at all times! As a real wiccan who does white magic the protective kind you bet im using the spirit community to protect him
This dude is nice but it’s crazy how everything came together for the wolves cause they really lucked out with a lot of guys , mcdaniels , NAW , and then having an undrafted guy become 6th man of the year , a lot of people won’t understand how crazy that is . But I think he signed a smart deal because if the wolves don’t capitalize on the extremely short window available to them in the next year or two then if I were naz I would look to start elsewhere . The love won’t be the same anywhere else but you have to sacrifice certain things for that kind of money
Naz def took advantage of the opportunity and made the best of it .. KAT made that call to the Minnesota front office to create that opportunity.. you ain’t gonna hear KAT or Naz talk about that .. that’s how it went down..
Naz is actually a stretch four now, he never plays 5 anymore. He is a big wing essentially. He has lost so much weight, he is not a center anymore. He can do everything a wing can, but he can’t hold a big center down like KAT or Rudy…
This video aged like fine wine. Naz clutching fourth quarter game 7 was great.
Naz Reid is an icon. We’re so lucky to have him. We’ve been lucky to get an amazing core of guys to love and seem to love the fan base back
We are extremely lucky. He said it feels like a home away from home. This team is different
Pieces are falling into place. It is awesome.
Stop your idiotic comments.
He’s gonna be such a problem if he continues to evolve.
He can opt out after next season. If he doesn't, his loyalty is off the charts. 🐺 can pay him big once Rudy's 💰 comes off the 📚 but still so far away. Ant, Jaden, & Naz seem like they made a pact to stay together..

Naz Reid.
Straight up. I almost put that clip in the video lol. NAZ REID.
@hardwood_yt thanks for the awesome video btw :) always glad to see naz reid propaganda from a fellow ball-knower!

@@Triumphator616who’s that? We call him Leonard Buckets baby🎄🐺🎄🐺🎄💯😂✌️
Also people love rooting for talented big men with finesse that aren't superstars, Andray Blatche for example.
In NAZ we trust
LFG
Naz rules man. Been to four Wolves games this season. Nobody gets a bigger ovation than Naz when he checks into the game for the first time. Not even KAT or Ant lol.
LFG baby. Im about to hit up another one here by the end of the year. Been to a couple myself so far
Naz Reid. He’s special. He loves the team and the fans just as much as we love him. Hope he retires a Wolf.
Perfectly put.
hope he goes to a real sports team like the Nets
I really needed myself some Naz Reid lore atm
Me too that's why I made the video haha
Naz is a major reason why we are 20-5. Major kudos to the T-Wolves organization for re-signing him. I thought for sure we would lose him this year. No disrespect to Towns but Naz is so much more fun to watch
Naz could mess around and take KAT’s spot 👀
Dang those 6th man odds.. whoever bet on that must be smiling now
He's like the big version of Kyrie lol the wizard of naz
I don’t even think I can call him a 5 anymore 😭
Dudes good but come on that doesn't even make sense.

NAZ REID = 6th man of the year
BET THE MORTGAGE.
@@hardwood_ytWE CELEBRATE
@@hardwood_ytW E WOULD BE RICH
He could be an all star in the right situation. He’s big enough to play center and quick enough to play PF. Pure Mismatch nightmare.
For real man
Jokic things otherwise LOL.
@@ricardojuanlopeznaranjo6651 Jokic would have his hands full guarding Naz.
@@frostyflakkes2692 Yes 😂. Naz would not. He is not strong or intelligent enough to guard Jokic, so he Will go and guard anyone else.
@@ricardojuanlopeznaranjo6651 Hmmm

I tried to add in more clips of it, but it just didn't fit too well. But yes, it's something you just gotta experience in person.
Facts! I have season tickets and man the stadium GOES CRAZY when Naz CHECKS IN 😂😂😂😂😂

Naz Reid! 🐺
Two words. Three points
including vando on that gobert trade did wonders for this man
Jaden as well. It was such a brilliant move in hindsight
It wasn’t because of the joke that Jaden says naz reid, the joke became a thing because of Jaden 😂
Nah you got it backwards. The joke was like 2 years old by the time we learned Jaden was in on it.
that's what I thought. I thought Jaden was the one that exploded it even more, but Timberwolves twitter started it. I could be wrong though.
@hardwood_yt I believe it started on r/timberwolves, but that could also be wrong--surely it was basically simultaneous. Either way, it was a great "he's one of us!" moment when the tweet about Jaden doing it broke!
Big cap right here the Naz Reid memes have been going on since his rookie year
You can’t not love this man
agreed
First time I saw him play he hit a three then ran back on defense and got a block then got a rebound I was like “ I like this dude”
Man I love Naz Reid, as a wolves fan, my favorite is Ant but ever since that game against the warriors (I think) last year where he went off, Naz has been my number 2. In Naz we trust
Facts man. He's got the best attitude and energy
How can you not be a fan of this guy? He went undrafted and worked to get to where he is now and now he is the X factor on the best team in the league. Super awesome
Naz Reid barely being top 10 in 6th man voting 5 months ago to winning it is gold
Naz reid has always had the tools to be great. With KAT gone he’s been stepping up if he keeps goin that spot is his
he's averaging like 22 i think with him out?
he reminds me of young Sheed
I’ve never seen a bench guy get cheered as much as naz reid and I’m here for it
Thank you for the exposure to the amazing awesomeness of the goat the king the big jelly. 🙏
Naz Reid!Naz Reid!Naz Reid! Big jelly
"No specific plays for him." So naz and kyrie are one of the few people in nba who play like 5s at a park or a gym yall just running and doing whatever comes to mind.
He's good at his job and doesn't complain.
he's the best
Naz is honestly a 6 9 forward now. He rarely plays center anymore
He has a great post game when he needs it tho.
@@blakelarson5005 which is he basically only uses after a smaller defender is switched onto him.
I think Dane Moore said on the most recent pod with Kyle that he is no longer calling Naz a big lol
Naz Reid might be my favorite player after watching this video
In minny being a good likable dude who does there job with no need for accolades is god tier.
That field commander picture, though lol
Watching this after game 7. He was a difference maker to close that game out
Ive never saw a video age so well in my life 😂.
LOL I gotta rewatch it myself
Naz Reid
🐺🐺🐺
Naz Reid

Naz Reid
Naz Reid reminds me of Kevin Looney in the sense that they've looked like seasoned vets for what seems like years, but they are surprisingly young
The velocity in this giant is unparalleled…
haven't figured him out on 2k, he seems slow in the game, but will try again
Naz Reid
NAZ REID.
this Video was uploaded and ahead of the Timberwolves bandwagons rn
Naz reid my boy
Bro legit looked 40 in high school lmfao
Naz reid must be protected at all times! As a real wiccan who does white magic the protective kind you bet im using the spirit community to protect him
Didnt know Naz was from my lovely New Jersey....👍

I think my parents would be happier if Naz was the father of my children. WE'RE COMIN!!
LMAO. Come onnnn
We should make a religion worshiping Reid
lmfaoooo
The only jelly 🍇 fam member to make it naz helped the wolves become contenders
He’s more like our 6th starter not our 6th man lmao
How do you go from shooting 67% to 92% from the line? I'm pretty sure in the history of the world that has never happened before.
I have zero clue except for one reason...NAZ REID.
Naz reid.
NAZ REID
Naz Reid.
Naz Reid
undrafted boy just dominated the defending champs
naz reid
Naz needs to be in the 3 point contest

I just thought about it. He might've been one of the guys on the second team with Jimmie Butler at his first "practice"😅
6 man of the year
Naz Reid ❤
My son came home and told me his teacher asked which person he would want to be in the world. He said NAZ REID

Naz def took advantage of the opportunity and made the best of it .. KAT made that call to the Minnesota front office to create that opportunity.. you ain’t gonna hear KAT or Naz talk about that .. that’s how it went down..
That’s something I didn’t even know as a wolves fan. For real?
Naz Reid is a guard inside of a power forwards body
Only one word. Naz Reid 😂
Naz Reid is a PF now. Played the 3 at times this season.
Naz Reid= New Shawn Kemp
Awesome to hear these kinds of stories
Yessir. It’s a great one
big jelly supremacy

AYEEEE
Naz is actually a stretch four now, he never plays 5 anymore. He is a big wing essentially. He has lost so much weight, he is not a center anymore. He can do everything a wing can, but he can’t hold a big center down like KAT or Rudy…

6TH MAN OF YHE YEAR LETS GOOOOOOO
AYEEEEE COME ON

He could literally play any sport
We love naz ried bacome a super star in the twolves

He fits in Minnesota perfectly, but if he doesn’t become a more dominant rebounder and defender he won’t last long
NAZ REID 3 months later 🐺
Naz “Naz Reid” Reid
they slept on bro... he was nice at LSU
Yes he was. He just didn’t fully materialize in that season into what was projected. It all worked out in the end
Naz for Prez!
