The Minnesota Timberwolves joined the NBA for the 1989-90 season as part of a two-phase league expansion that ... brought in Orlando, Miami, and Charlotte. But the Timberwolves weren't the first pro basketball franchise in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Lakers of the early 1950s had been the dominant team of that era. Led by 6-10 George Mikan, the first great pro center, the Lakers won five titles in the six years between 1949 and 1954. Four years later, however, the team had fallen to a cellar-dwelling 19-53 record. With the No. 1 pick in the 1958 NBA Draft they selected Elgin Baylor of Seattle University.
