"I remember he had the high socks, the thick glasses and the short shorts,'' said the Timberwolves point guard. "That was my first impressions about him. I said that when we first talked on the phone, and we got a good laugh about it.''Kurt Rambis: The Minneapolis Laker originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:30:00 EST .
