Anthony Edwards got a delightful shoutout from Minnesota’s governor over exchange with Charles Barkley

Anthony Edwards Charles Barkley Minnesota Timberwolves InsideNBA NBA TNT

Ahead of the start of the 2024 Western conference finals, Minnesota governor Tim Waltz declared Wednesday as “Wolves Back Day” to celebrate the Minnesota Timberwolves being a series away from the NBA finals.

He also paid homage to Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards by spelling out the latter’s hysterical comment made to Charles Barkley recently.

In Waltz’ official proclamation, the first letters to all the first words in the sentences spell out “BRING YA ASS,” which Edwards told Barkley about coming to Minnesota after some time away from the state.

Barkley made it to Minneapolis for his TNT obligations, and Edwards’ comment continues to work as a delightful motivator for Minnesota tourism.
