Anthony Edwards wants Charles Barkley to visit Minnesota. If others follow his advice online, they'll get a quick idea of what to do there.

Comedian Joe Savitt purchased the URL, bringyaass.com, and he redirected it to the homepage for Explore Minnesota, according to Axios' Nick Halter.

The homepage has since leaned into the comments by Edwards as well, writing "Bring Ya A**" on the main site, above the line, "Welcome to a state of possibility. Whether you're planning a visit or pondering a move, Minnesota is ready to welcome you."

Following the Timberwolves' 98-90 win in Game 7 over the Nuggets, Edwards was being interviewed on "Inside the NBA," and Barkley prefaced his question by saying, "I have not been to Minnesota in probably 20 years."

Edward was quick with the response:

"Bring ya a—," the Minnesota star responded.

Savitt touted his purchase of the URL as "my legacy."

Explore Minnesota is clearly supportive of his endeavor.
