    And he's only 21. I could see him being one of those players that just tears teams apart in the playoffs heading into the future.

    Most 30+ Points in playoff games before turning 22
    LeBron James – 8 games
    Kobe Bryant – 4 games
    ANTHONY EDWARDS – 4 games

    Anthony Edwards is special. He's missing Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels to make it a competitive series

  9. Mo Krazee

    Mane nuggets fan here but Ant needa get outta Minnesota he deserves a better chance at winning cause twolves are ass an always will be lmao

  13. Chong Thor BTL

    No Ried no McDaniels this series is over.

    At least they made the playoff twice and hopefully make playoff a regular thing now. 🤷

    Poor Ant Man got a hella unorganized squad and terrible coach around him so his great play doesn't matter sadly 😔

  22. Juan Pedro Arévalo

    Edwards is being a very important player for the Timberwolves with the incredible average of points he's getting in playoffs. His contribution with team stuff through this series is simply outstanding.
    But it's a big pity for him Denver looking clearly like the favourite to keep on the way after this meeting.

  25. Peter Davis

    Too bad Karl stat stuffed and nobody else was really bringing any energy, aside from Ant, Anderson and frankly Conley played terribly poor…

    I’m a huge Ant fan, but I don’t think he played a great game. Luckily, I think this was a career high for free throw attempts for him

    Just goes to show, even an average game can look great if given enough free throws. Hopefully the favorable calls will carry over into next season

  28. Scruff D0g

    Edwards is the star of this team. Do Wolves trade KAT and get picks back they lost in the awful Gobert trade.

  44. Cédric CRISPIN

    He maybe is a potential superstar but let's be honest, he will need a way better team and coach in order to get those rings 🔥🚀

    Definitely for sure Anthony Edwards will be a young MVP contender for years to come , but damn he’s been averaging 32 points a game in the playoffs before turning the age of 22
