As the Minnesota Timberwolves put it, they lost their dad last week. Flip Saunders may be the biggest part of everything that the Minnesota Timberwolves currently are as a franchise.
Flip hand selected the players, coaches and staff members and his handprints are all over the Timberwolves. But Flip touched more than just the Timberwolves, he touched the whole NBA.
In the video above, just about everybody in the NBA, from Coaches, executives, current and former players and even media members talked about what Flip meant to them, to the NBA and to the Timberwolves.
If you’re wondering where Kevin Garnett was in this video, he was reportedly too emotional to sit down and talk about Flip.
He couldn't bring himself to do it. Wanted to. Was too emotional. https://t.co/i4P3NDZwIC

The loss of Flip Saunders will be felt everywhere and he will be missed. Rest in peace, Flip Saunders.
CSNNW covers the Blazers but they also showed the second half of the Flip Saunders tribute.
