Naz Reid is undoubtedly one of the fan-loved players in the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise. Especially playing in a side that has Anthony Edwards, the probable future face of the league. It’s really a commendable business to earn the fans’ love. While Ant-Man has his athleticism and flamboyant media interactions to entice fans, Reid is a reserved, laid-back person who only lets his game do the talking. Despite that, the Wolves’ sixth man has a die-hard fan following.
You may wonder if we are only talking about the fan craze that Naz Reid has in Minnesota, but not about his dating life. Well, this is our way of saying that we haven’t found any information available on the internet about the star forward’s dating life. And we could only find out more about the relationship that Wolves fans share with the big man. It’s something more than the usual fandom.
However, we do have something interesting to deliver about the Naz Reid tattoo incident. Before that, let us share an instance from 2023 when the fans shook the Target Center. In a game against the Atlanta Hawks, almost everyone in the crowd brought out the Naz Reid towel and displayed it in unison. Poetically, the big man scored a team-high 26 points and 8 rebounds from the bench to steal a 125-124 win. It was truly a magical moment.

Sorry to disappoint you again. It’s still not about the star’s dating life. As we said earlier, the internet doesn’t have much information about his personal life. The star’s IG handle also has 15 posts and almost everything is about basketball. Kudos to the big man for keeping his life low-key.
Anyway, getting back to the subject. It wasn’t just one person who got Naz Reid’s name tattooed on their skin, but hundreds of them. It happened amid the star’s sensational playoff run in the 2023-24 season. The star was fresh off winning the Sixth Man of the Year trophy and the team also made their first deep playoff run in two decades. It was indeed a special occasion for the fans.

A tattoo artist, JC Stroebel, cashed in on the situation and offered to tattoo Reid’s name for $20. Guess what? It worked. Speaking of the fans’ craze, Stroebel said, “We have at least 100 legitimate requests to get tattooed. We, like collectively as a fan base, have earned the right to tattoo Naz Reid on ourselves, man.” via CBS Sports.
Unfortunately, the Wolves got eliminated in the Western Conference Finals. But there are no worries. The Wolves’ side is still stacked with a minor change in the frontcourt and Reid is still coming off the bench. The team can make yet another deep postseason run and the star may as well be the best performer in it too. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
