Minnesota Timberwolves standout Anthony Edwards is widely recognized for his candid demeanor on the court. He frequently engages in spirited exchanges and banter with fellow players. Notably, he has previously made bold remarks regarding Michael Jordan and athletes from that era, sparking some debate. Recently, he found himself in intense confrontations during a game.
Although the matchup wasn’t against the Dallas Mavericks, Edwards still mentioned Mavericks star Luka Doncic. During the exciting recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Ant-Man couldn’t resist talking smack about Doncic to the referees after he was penalized for carrying the ball.
“Luka Doncic do that s**t all f**king year, bro! Luka Doncic do it all game. Every time he dribble the ball, he do this [carrying motion] and they never call it. Then, you call it on me. That’s crazy. Every motherf**king player in the league do it and you f**king call it on me. That’s crazy. … Nobody else, but you call it on me.” Edwards said (Via LegendZ).
At that moment, Julius Randle stepped into the conversation with a hint of exasperation, remarking, “Ain’t nobody calling a carry, it’s 2024”

“From an athlete’s perspective, I’ve never—it’s different playing against him, ’cause you only play against him, like, for me, it’s like once or twice a year, you know what I mean? But now it’s like I see it every night, and I’ve never seen an athlete like that be able to, like, move the way he does. Cover ground, like, get downhill to be able to cut and just maneuver, and he’s not, like, a little guy. He’s a big dude.” Randle said.
