Minnesota Tourism Capitalizes on Timberwolves Star Anthony Edwards' Viral Moment

Sports are meant to inspire and it doesn't get more motivating than a historic Game 7 comeback in the NBA playoffs.

The Minnesota Timberwolves overcame a 20-point deficit against the reigning champion Denver Nuggets in a do-or-die game at altitude in the Colorado capital on Sunday, inspiring a hilarious viral moment from their budding star guard Anthony Edwards.

In a post-game interview, "Ant" Edwards told TNT's Charles Barkley—who admitted not having been to Minnesota in decades—to "bring ya ass" in anticipation of the Western Conference Finals, which tip off in Minneapolis on Wednesday night.

Now, tourism officials in Minnesota have adopted the one-liner and are using it to promote travel to the North Star State.
