The Minnesota Timberwolves fought a tough battle to enter the playoffs. Though the team was sent home in the very first round, NBA buffs have a lot of belief in the organization’s future.

As the T-Wolves are trying to build a championship team around him, the 6’4 guard has developed his relationship with MLB legend Alex Rodriguez in the meantime.?

A-Rod made his second payment a few months back to increase his ownership stake to forty percent with the Timberwolves. While there is still some time left to acquire majority ownership, the 47-year-old has started to develop a bonding with his players. However, even after Edwards’ statement about him, A-Rod has surprised the hoop fans today.

In 2021, Edwards revealed in an interview, ” I don’t know who that[Rodriguez] is. I know he is going to be the owner. But I don’t know anything about baseball.”?Well, Edwards at least kept it real. However, A-Rod doesn’t seem to care about it, or rather Edwards was forgiven!?
