Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves reportedly posted wild season goals on Burner’s account

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards can only have offered fans an inside look at his mindset heads into the new NBA season through an alleged burner account.

On Monday, sneaker platform @nicekicks claimed on X that Edwards was behind the Instagram account @believethatjack. Hours later, the same page shared screenshots of the now-viral list from that account, with the caption: “Write it down, then cross you out.”

The list included a mix of bold affirmations and not-so-subtle shots at potential rivals:

• Stay the ultimate off-leash dog
• Repeated Shoe of the Year (I’d Walk Alone)
• More wins than *** team
• Send *** home early
• Let the **** taste like tap water
• Knock on ***, ***, ***, ***
• Cook until it becomes quiet again
• Hoop shoes and jeans are making a comeback

Although the names were censored, fans wasted no time speculating who the Timberwolves guard might be targeting. Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kevin Durant and Ja Morant were among the names floating around the internet.

Whether or not the Burner account actually belongs to Edwards, the tone matches his fiery competitive edge. After a career year in which he averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists, the 23-year-old has already established himself as one of the NBA’s hottest young stars. His playoff performance only reinforced that, as he led Minnesota to its second straight appearance in the Western Conference Finals while averaging 25.3 points per game.

Locked for a new level

If that list wasn’t convincing enough, Timberwolves assistant coach Chris Hines confirmed that Edwards’ offseason intensity has reached new heights.

“Probably one of my most intense summers with him. I think I lost 15 pounds working with him. It was crazy,” Hines told reporters. “I got on the scale and it was 185, and I haven’t been 185 since I played.

This offseason was the first in three years that Edwards skipped the international game, using the time to sharpen up his trade, the StarTribune reports. He traveled to Adidas events, including a stop in China, but mostly stayed in Minnesota to focus on his mid-range and post-up game.

“I feel like I could have worked on my game,” Edwards said. “I missed the competition, but I definitely missed being able to add something new. I think it added another dimension.”

That dimension might just be what helps him tick off every item on that mysterious list, assuming it was his to begin with.
