Randy Breuer
(Eds. Note–Andy G’s colleague knew that he’s a diehard Wolves fan and gave him a retro pack of Wolves basketball cards from 1990. What better time than NFL training camp to look back at some familiar faces?)
Basic Bio: Born in 1960, Lake City, Minnesota. Played at University of Minnesota before 11 NBA seasons.
Wolves Career: Played three seasons from 1989-92. Averaged double-figures on inaugural, Musselman-led Wolves team that most would say overachieved by winning 22 games.
Hoops Highlight: Breuer is a high school legend in Minnesota, where he led his Lake City Tigers to consecutive state championships. He still holds the state tournament scoring record with a whopping 38 points per game.
Random: Breuer used to, and probably still does, host a golf tournament in Zumbro Falls; a fundraiser for the local fire department. I played in it one year, as it’s near my old hometown. He’s tall. (Listed at 7’3″ and looks every bit of it in person.)

Punch-Drunk Wolves 
Randy Breuer used to come through the drive thru in Eden Prairie at the Arby’s I used to work at when he was on the Timberwolves. After practice he would have 4 or 5 sandwiches. And he was seriously really tall. He never did come in though, only the drive thru.
Bob,
Thanks for sharing, and I suppose a 7’3″ man needs 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4, but who’s counting?) additional Arby’s sandwiches to fill up. Trying to imagine Breuer driving a car, I’m seeing something like “Hightower” in the Police Academy movies who ripped out the front seat and drove from the back.
