Any moment now, the Timberwolves are expected to name Laker assistant Kurt Rambis as their new head coach. Rambis replaces Kevin McHale, the long-time T-Wolf executive and sometime coach who was let go shortly before the 2009 draft.
This isn’t the first time the names “Rambis” and “McHale” have been connected. In the ’80s, McHale was a superstar low-post scorer for the Boston Celtics, and Rambis was the bespectacled rebounder for the “Showtime” Lakers. The two forwards were matched up against each other in dozens of crucial games.
And in one such game, McHale hit Rambis with one of the most legendary cheap-shots in the history of the league.
