The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently one of the most exciting teams in the NBA, led by young star Anthony Edwards, All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, and defensive standout Rudy Gobert. They recently defeated the Denver Nuggets in seven games in the Western Conference semi-finals, securing a spot in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004.
Following their victory, a viral clip of Edwards telling Charles Barkley to “bring [his] a**” during a postgame interview led to the creation of a new tourism slogan for Minnesota. Explore Minnesota Tourism purchased the domain rights to “bringyaass.com,” and even the state’s governor, Tim Walz, entertained the idea of changing the official slogan to “Bring ya a**.”
This incident highlighted Edwards’ love for the state of Minnesota, as he has previously expressed his preference for the state over cities like Los Angeles and New York. Fans can catch the Timberwolves in action in the upcoming Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks on May 22, with the game airing on TNT and available for streaming on fubo TV.
Overall, the Timberwolves’ recent success and viral moment with Edwards have generated excitement and interest not only in the team but also in the state of Minnesota as a whole.
