One fan showed up to this year’s WrestleMania with a sign that ended up aging extremely well.
On Saturday, a fan at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nev. went viral for an incredible sign. In the middle of Triple H addressing the crowd, a sign simply saying, “Naz Reid” could be seen looming large in the background behind the ring. Take a look below.
While the event was held nearly 2,000 miles away from Minneapolis, fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves (and their beloved big man Reid) apparently travel very well.
For his part, Reid made sure not to let the shoutout go to waste. Later that night against the Los Angeles Lakers in his team’s playoff opener, Reid produced 23 points (including six three-pointers) off the bench. The monster outing helped the Timberwolves earn a stunning 117-95 victory over the Lakers on the road to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
The former undrafted player Reid, 25, is not exactly an underground name anymore. He was the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year last season and is regarded as one of the league’s truly elite three-point shooting big men. This season, Reid produced career-best numbers with 14.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
When it comes to Timberwolves fans as well, Reid has an extremely dedicated cult following. Some fans have even named their pets after him while others are willing to travel all the way to Nevada in order to spread the gospel of Naz Reid.
