Anthony Edwards Says Kyle Anderson Told Him He’s Playing ‘Like a Scrub’ | Inside the NBA

Let’s welcome Anthony Edwards to the proceedings uh Ernie Johnson here in Atlanta Anthony go dogs and uh yes sir let’s let’s talk about the difference between the first half and the second half and what clicked for you um I mean pretty much I just came

Out slow man I I just wasn’t ready to play tonight and um I saw that if I if I didn’t bring it to the second half we wasn’t going to be able to win that game so you know I decided to just pick it up

I wasn’t ready to play early so I had to find it uh Anthony sha here uh you are indeed a great player uh we all know you had a slow first half picked it up second half what did you say to yourself you know you just said that you wern’t

Ready to play what did you say to yourself a halftime to get yourself going um I know nobody on the other side of the Court really could you know stay in front of me or guard me so I knew I was just you know bsing down here so

Pretty much that’s it I knew nobody can guard me so I just took it upon myself to figure it out yeah you know Anthony it it’s interesting when you’re a great player sometimes you kind of go through the motions who’s the one guy on a team

Can get on your ass cuz I I had Rick Mahorn I had Rick Mahorn and Dan Marley and Derek Smith but who’s the one guys of your man who’s that guy on your team uh Cal Anderson for sure yeah he yeah yeah slow-mo yeah he told me at Hal time

Like he told me at Hal time man you got two points you ain’t looking like No Superstar right now you looking like the scrub so you know I had to figure it out you know after you know the start of this after last year there was a lot of

Talk that we would always hear you with the confidence how you could no one could guard you things could happen now that’s translating into wins difference between translating the individual accolades tell me with TR what how did that move from I’m playing good but I

Can make us play good U I think playing in the USA um the feea World Cup this summer um I think that changed my perspective about everything uh being able to play with your team um you know play Within the game and not try to just is play isolation ball all day um

Playing within the system and FY does a great job of making sure I stay within the system uh Anthony I going to ask you another question about other than you you’re obviously terrific Nas Reed what does he mean what does he what does he mean to y’all team cuz I love that kid

Yeah I love him too he means everything to me and to our team I’m pretty sure he means everything to those guys too um to me he’s the xfactor of the team man every night that he brings it we win um so and I told him today like man when

You play like this I don’t think we can be beat by anybody in the league and you know long as he keeps that confidence High we we going to be unstoppable and last thing and then we’ll let you go U got to ask you about the play that’s

Going to be on every highlight reel on every Sports show everywhere so take me through this off the backboard play um I pretty much just did like a double between the legs and when I was I was just trying to get to a spot like a

Elbow spot and he kind of cut me off and I didn’t have nobody to pass it to and I pump faked and he jumped so I was just like I might as well try it I seen um I seen somebody doing an allstar game so I was like I might as well

Try it worked hey you didn’t look like a scrub doing it either for sure 118 103 the final win number 30 for the Minnesota Timberwolves best record in the west an thanks a lot for your time man appreci man hustle two hustle two coming out show coming out yes sir Adam

Lock in lock in Adam
