The Minnesota Timberwolves were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals weeks ago, but it appears like their ace, Anthony Edwards, still hasn’t moved on. Recently, the guard confessed that he only cares about winning the championship title with the T’wolves.
In an interview, Edwards said, “[Being called the best American player]’s not something that I shoot for. I’m just trying to win with Minnesota. I don’t really care about that other stuff.” Continuing his statement, the 22-year-old added, “It’d be cool to get an opportunity like that. I’m not really striving for it. I’m chillin’. If it happens, it happens. I just want to win with Minnesota.”
Edwards has shown his dedication by leading the Western team single-handedly to the 2024 Conference Finals. However, they failed to beat the Mavericks and gave in after putting up a great fight. The budding star contributed 27.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in the post-season tournament.
Besides showcasing his exceptional abilities, which led to his comparisons with NBA legend Michael Jordan, Edwards displayed immense confidence. It’s one of the factors that makes him stand out on the hardwood, but sometimes, he astonishes the NBA community with his claims.
