"Joe got one stop today y'all," Edwards said.

Ingles finished the video by flexing in the hallway as Edwards and the reporters laughed. The Timberwolves are ramping up their preparations for the upcoming season. They are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers on the road on Oct. 22 to open the campaign.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off their second straight Western Conference finals apperance. However, the Timberwolves failed to get over the hump and lost a key player in the offseason. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who was the team's best guard off the bench, signed with the Atlanta Hawks.

Anthony Edwards is expected to take another leap after having the best year of his career. The Timberwolves brought back Naz Reid and Julius Randle, signing both stars to huge contracts. They also signed Joe Ingles to a one-year, $3.6 million deal to serve as a veteran voice on the bench and in the locker room.

With Alexander-Walker out, the Timberwolves are banking on players like Jaylen Clark, Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. to step up and fill the hole he left.

One of the players often compared to Anthony Edwards is none other than Michael Jordan. Some fans even joked that Edwards is the long-lost son of the Chicago Bulls legend.

Speaking to reporters on media day, Edwards shared that he spoke to Jordan in the offseason. He asked for advice to further improve his game and received plenty of tips from the six-time NBA champion.

"(He helped me with) getting to my spots, pulling up, shooting over the defender," Edwards said, according to ESPN's Myron Medalf. "I think the best tip that he gave me is that most people lean on people in the post with their (butt), and he does it with the top part of his back. So I think I learned that from him."

It will be interesting to see if Edwards shows off some of the things he learned from Jordan this upcoming season.
