After defeating the Nuggets in a wild Game 7, the Timberwolves will officially head to the Western Conference Finals.
Following the improbable comeback win over Denver, Minnesota's Anthony Edwards appeared on TNT's postgame coverage of the game. During this exchange with Barkley, the Inside the NBA host said that he had not been to Minnesota in approximately twenty years (which may not be true).
This seemed to excite Edwards, though, who told Barkley to "bring his [expletive]" out there. It was yet another hilarious moment from Edwards, who has now become arguably the funniest player in postgame interviews.
Barkley then asked Edwards one of the most important questions you could possibly ask a basketball player after a series-clinching victory: When I'm in your city, what should I eat?
Edwards said he would find a way to get Barkley's contact information and would gladly provide a list of recommendations.
In the meanwhile, however, celebrity chef Bobby Flay provided a quick recommendation for once Barkley arrives in Minnesota: Spoon and Stable.
Other fans have jumped in to help Edwards provide Barkley with the best food options for when he is in Minnesota.
But either way, this was a hilarious conversation between two very funny people.
What is next for the Nuggets?
After winning a championship last season, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.
They had two tough opponents with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves and eventually, the Timberwolves secured a victory with a massive comeback in Game 7. While it was not easy for the Nuggets, they have to look themselves in the mirror and answer some difficult questions about the future.
Here is Robert Zeglinski with three key lessons to learn before they can win another title.
