Britt Robson believes that basketball is a beautiful game and will use that framework—when beauty blooms and when it is besmirched—to cover the Minnesota Lynx. It is the way he has covered the Minnesota Timberwolves since that franchise&#8217;s second year of existence, for publications too numerous to count but most recently <a href="https://www.minnpost.com/author/britt-robson/">MinnPost</a>, plus regular appearances on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DaneMooreNBA">Dane Moore NBA Podcast</a>. He has also written about music and politics, including hundreds of bylines for City Pages back in the heyday, giving him kinship with the Racket ethos.
