Timberwolves' power forward has finally emerged as a playoff force to complement superstar Anthony Edwards. 'I had a great mentor in Kobe Bryant,' he says.

Former Laker Julius Randle is excelling with the Timberwolves, and he said late Lakers great Kobe Bryant helped shape his mentality.

The Golden State Warriors trail the Minnesota Timberwolves in their second-round matchup, and with Stephen Curry out for at least the next game, the Dubs could very easily fall into a 3-1 hole.

Julius Randle's postgame press conference became a family affair as his son, Kai, stole the show by sharing the pre-game advice he offers his father.

Even without iconic sharpshooter Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors have managed to put up a heck of a fight against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their second-round playoff battle. But so far, Minnesota has had a somewhat unexpected card up its sleeve that has helped build its 2-1 series lead.
