The Timberwolves don't have many great teams in their history, which is part of what makes their 2003-04 Western Conference Finals run all the more special. 

Now, it's NBA 2K's turn to acknowledge that. Apparently, the game has done exactly that:

The 03-04 Wolves won 58 games, most in the West, and ran through the Nuggets and Kings only to fall to the Lakers in six games during the conference finals. Of course, climbing on the back of 2004 MVP Kevin Garnett helped, but that team had a big three of sorts: K.G., Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell. 

Cassell's efficiency should be fun in the game. Sprewell's off-the-dribble ability is probably a nice ability to use. K.G.'s everything is probably great. Dude was dominating in every aspect of the game back then, though it's sometimes tough to use power forwards to their full abilities in video games.

Either way, it's nice that one of the more exciting teams of the past 15 years is getting its due in 2K.
