Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls, former Timberwolves teammate:Ā Rookie year after he got traded to us (in 2015). He gets to the gym early. As a rookie you get to the gym real early like at 3 or 3:30 for the game. In the locker room there used to be a couch and TV next to the kitchen, so we walk in and KGās there. It looks like heās been there. Heās watching the movie āGladiator.ā Itās the final scene where Russell Crowe is fighting for his life. He sees me and Andrew (Wiggins) and heās like, āCome here, come here.ā
So we walk over there. Heās real into the movie. āYou see this shit right here, this is what this shitās about. You die for what you believe in. You die for your boys. This is that mentality we need to have going into the game. Itās about war. Itās about going down with your boys. I love this shit. This shit gives me goosebumps.ā
I look, and he actually has goosebumps. Iām a big KG guy and Iām like āYeah, Iām with you man. This is how we gotta play.ā Heās like āright, Zach. You feel me Wiggs?ā
Andrew Wiggins says āI donāt know even know what āGladiatorā is, Iāve never heard of this movie.ā The look on his face was like perplexed. Not anger, but just like get out of my face. So he just looks at us and says, āYāall go get ready for the game, man.ā
