Christian Laettner arrived in Minnesota as the most decorated college player in a generation, the only non-professional on the 1992 Dream Team, a two-time national champion and the author of one of the greatest shots in NCAA Tournament history. On March 21, 1993, in his first NBA season, the rookie power forward put together a performance that had veterans taking notes: catching the ball on the wing, attacking the rim and converting a reverse layup right through Alonzo Mourning's challenge. The Timberwolves big had everything that night - scoring, rebounding, and a defensive awareness that foreshadowed a professional career spanning 13 seasons. Laettner finished with 27 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. · Mar 22, 1993
