Maybe you care about Luka's voice.

Twins have a couple of championships in my lifetime.  Two more than the Brewers.

Minneapolis Lakers also count, although the U of MN football team has a bunch of national titles in the 30s and 40s thatโ€™s tough to care about given itโ€™s 2024.  The hockey team has a bunch of titles.

The irony of Kyrie Irving actually playing at incredible level of play (both end of court) and now having to face Boston - a team he basically quit on - should make for must see TV.

I disagree, especially If you are claiming a team's victories after they moved to another city. Here's what that would look like. The Twins had 2 World Series wins, one in the late 80's and one in early 90's. Would those World Series wins count towards the Senators' championships total? If so, the Senators won 3 World Series titles. The Twins/Senators haven't done much since. The Milwaukee Braves played 13 years in Wisconsin after leaving Boston, in 1953, and never endured a losing season. In 1957, they won the World Series, before moving to Atlanta. The Atlanta Braves won 4 World Series titles. The Brewers appeared in one World Series, back in 1982. The Minnesota Lakers played in an era when a 6'8" player was considered a big man. Mr Basketball, George Mikan, was 6'10". The Minnesota Lakers won one NBL Championship, in 1948, before the NBA came into existence. They won 5 of the next 6 titles under the newly formed NBA. They left Minneapolis and the franchise really developed in Los Angeles, where they saw most of their success. There is no way anyone could say the LA Lakers Championships are Minnesota related. The NHL North Stars also left Minnesota and flourished in Dallas. Hockey fans, in The State Of Hockey, were really hurt by that. The Minnesota North Stars had one Conference Championship but zero Stanley Cup wins whereas the Dallas Stars made 5 trips to the Finals and won 1 Stanley Cup. The Minnesota Wild has zero Stanley Cups to their name. I haven't mentioned the vikings, at all, because we know how they suck. You never mentioned the Lynx, the Minnesota WNBA franchise. They won one Championship and as I have mentioned before, their Championship game was blacked out, on TV, so a Poker Tournament could be aired.  I do agree that the upcoming NBA Championships should good to watch.
