Timberwolves are gonna be must-see 🎥

Anthony Edwards is holding a basketball and addressing the camera, but his warning to the rest of the NBA soon has the studio laughing. When the Timberwolves come to town, he suggests, opponents should expect some aggressive fouls along with the entertainment.

Wearing a blue Wolves hoodie and durag, Edwards turns a preseason message into a loose comedy routine, joking with the people gathered around the desk. Bleacher Report posted the excerpt with credit to Edwards, under the title "Timberwolves are gonna be must-see 🎥".

The Short drew nearly a million views in its opening day, roughly thirty times the channel's usual start for that format. That burst stands out even as Bleacher Report's overall daily viewing sits close to its normal pace.

The conversation underneath is about Edwards's comic delivery as much as basketball. Viewers compare the scene to Chappelle's Show, suggest a sitcom of his own and draw parallels with former Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett's intensity.

There is a basketball counterpart to the banter, too. Another fast-starting clip posted by Bleacher Report features LaMelo Ball explaining what he brings to Minnesota, with Jaden McDaniels supplying a lofty nickname: Magic Johnson.
