For years, the Minnesota Timberwolves have struggled to play well in the NBA.
However, the Timberwolves have finally turned things around in the 2023-24 NBA season behind the fantastic performances from the trio of Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert.
In fact, the Timberwolves have remained the number one seed in the Western Conference for the better part of the 2023-24 NBA season.
Despite the team’s incredible season, not many believe that the Timberwolves have what it takes to become the 2024 NBA champions.
Well, many have doubted the Timberwolves, but NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins recently hailed the Timberwolves as one of the legit contenders to lift the Larry O’Brien trophy in the summer of 2024 via his official Twitter handle.
“I’m leaning towards them being legit Title Contenders,” Perkins said.
The Timberwolves have been standing on business all season long! Idk about how y’all feel… but I’m leaning towards them being legit Title Contenders. Good night and Carry the hell on…

Being the number one seed in either conference in the NBA is never an easy task.
However, the Timberwolves have achieved that for most of the regular season.
As of now, they flaunt a 38-16 record in the Western Conference as they are the top seed.
Considering the competition in the West this season, it’s no surprise that the Timberwolves have a plethora of teams right on their tail.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are just one game behind them, while the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets are two games behind the Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have never won an NBA Championship in the history of their franchise.
Keeping that in mind, if the franchise proves Perkins right, it will send a wave of joy among the fanbase of the team.
