Dear Dave Benz,
Remember this gem you called a while back?
Your voice cracked, haha, but the drama, the anticipation—the excitement!—that was unforgettable.
It still brings goosebumps whenever I replay those final seconds, and you know what, because of that moment, right?, I started frequenting your Twitter more.
No, I am not a stalker. You’re one of the Twitters that I follow more closely, and there’s a good reason for it.
Before I say it, bear with me for a sec. What separates your Twitter from other Timberwolves employees, with the exception of Jim Pete, who is an EXCELLENT follow as well!, is this:
Your @timberwolves warm up for tonight's tilt with the @PelicansNBA. Coverage begins at 6:30 CDT on @fsnorth pic.twitter.com/IZ2Qpuh7Yi

I Love these moments…
Why? Because you’re interacting with fans.
You acknowledge our existence on Twitter, and as a Timberwolves fans who follows you on Twitter, as a fan running this outlet and is fortunate to get a follow back from you, as a fan who has followed you since your days in the Bay Area, I feel humbled, yes, and ultimately I feel great!
You know what else I like about your Twitter; to phrase it in another way, you know what else I like about you?
This:
Tonight's half time entertainment. #ExtremeMusicalChairs @Timberwolves @dallasmavs pic.twitter.com/rcCMnJK4nT

You entertain us. You entertain us whenever you broadcast games.
And so, do you see what I mean when I say you’re a fun follow on Twitter?
Because you are, Mr. Benz. And that is not hyperbole.
That is a Fact.
