The NBA fans in the audience are surely aware that the Minnesota Timberwolves are about as hapless as they come nowadays—an even less promising squad than Microkhan’s beloved Los Angeles Clipppers, a team once declared “The Worst Franchise Ever” by Sports Illustrated. But the T’wolves’ woeful prospects haven’t affected the loyalty of a certain Nairobi matatu driver, whose vehicular tribute we snapped on Saturday. Perhaps he was just a big Kevin McHale fan back in the day? Or, more likely, he just liked the look of that fearsome Canis lupus.
More tomorrow, after we’ve fully recovered from our travels—and, more importantly, finished transcribing these hours worth of interviews. Perfect speech-recognition software can’t be developed soon enough…

I think the windshield is a two-sticker mural, i.e. “This franchise makes Jesus cry.”

@Gramsci: Indeed, only two things make Baby Jesus cry–lies, and wasting the #5 pick in the draft.

According to some early Christians, Jesus really never got over being picked #2 behind Barabbas in the Roman Amnesty Draft.

Barabbas was the Sam Bowie of his day. Which fittingly makes Jesus=Jordan.
