  • Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury had the potential to be one of the greatest one-two punches in NBA history, but several factors away from the court led Stephon Marbury to find his way out of Minnesota. #stephonmarbury #kevingarnett #minnestoatimberwolves

      The cold 🥶 is not hard to adapt to. It's no different than adapting to summer. If you're cold, dress up more heavy. If you know you're going out, dress up right ✅️. Wear heavy gloves so your hands not completly freezing. Store your warmth before putting on thermos and going out. Pay attention to the roads and don't just casually drive. Afterwards, the weather is doable. I literally struggled in Minnesota, Washington, South/North Dakota, Wyoming and other places. It made Philly, New York, and other places cold weather seem pathetic in comparison 😒. And this is a Floridian from Miami that's annoyed by 90 degree weather yr round saying this.

We battled through losing KG and seeing him win one with Boston. We battled through the Al Jefferson years the real ones know that pain. We battled through the Klove, and Rubio years.

    I'm from Minnesota. People here have a relationship to cold, that you just don't have, if you've never lived for decades in the cold. Personally, I work outside all winter, in Minnesota. We all complain about it, but we live and push on. Hearing comments from a guy like Marbury about how it's just crazy merely living in Minnesota, for us, gives us a good laugh, and reminds us, we're a lot stronger, at least in this way, than most people on earth. And that's funny! I think back to my great grandparents sometimes and wonder how they lived in Minnesota before modern heating systems in houses, or very good insulation. That's baffling to me. We live in a place where the cold kills people every year. My wife, who's from Hungary, agrees with Stephon Marbury, in thinking we're all a little crazy just for living here.

The Falls and Winters are too. My only gripe is Spring. As a born & raised southerner, I'm ready for Spring weather in March & April. But here, we may get 10 inches of snow. 😂
    But regarding Marbury's experience, I get it. Minnesota isn't for everyone. You may have to invest in an AWD or snow tires. Me, I just put sand bags on the back of my truck during the winter and I don't have any issues.

Everything else you gotta drive super slow and keep your tires changed. Rear wheel drive sports cars are guaranteed to spin out when there’s ice on the roads.
