JC Stroebel and Jesse George started this whole thing on a whim. The Timberwolves were surging during the 2023-24 season, and Stroebel just threw out a post on social media offering to tattoo "Naz Reid." on any who wanted one for $20. He had no idea what was coming. Wolves fans responded in overwhelming fashion. Stroebel and George estimate they've done between, at least, 1,200 to 1,500 "Naz Reid." tattoos. What started as a lark with the hope of landing tickets to a playoff game became a full-blown movement. George and Stroebel did them at live recordings of Timberwolves podcasts. They did them to help raise funds for a super fan who needed brain surgery. They even got to meet Reid in person.
