Anthony Edwards Said What Everyone Was Thinking

Anthony Edwards Said What Everyone Was Thinking

almost no experts predicted the Wolves beating the defending champs on the road in a game seven especially when Anthony Edwards had two points down 15 and half but after they pulled it off a let Charles Barkley know I have not been to Minnesota in probably 20 years bring G hey hey we might be doing that for a long time actually because they might be the best team in the world next up for Minnesota is the Dallas Mavericks yes Luka will be the best player in that series but definitely a flawed team the Wolves will be favored in the Conference Finals and then probably the Celtics who don’t have Christ stops porzingis 100% that is terrible against Minnesota’s size and defense are we about to see a 22-year-old Anthony Edwards lead his team to a championship what will that mean for his legacy and the league well first we have to talk about the Denver Nuggets what are they going to do of 20 points in the third quarter it’s the first time ever a home team has lost a game seven in that spot why because Nico yic was tired and his role players didn’t step up in game seven Murray and yic combined for 69 points the rest of the team just 21 this doesn’t kill jokic’s Legacy he’s still the best player in the world his front office led him down out they lost Bruce Brown and Jeff Green from last year did that matter yes Brown was a role player who could hit shots defend and create offense instead Michael Porter Jr in the last three games of this series he scored six points a game 19% from three on a Max contract that’s why they couldn’t afford to keep their depth and instead paid mpj a role player paid like a star but still will give credit to the Timberwolves Defense number one in the NBA they wore out the nuggets in the second half who just ran out of gas coach Michael Malone couldn’t give Joker time on the bench cuz what are they going to do without him so coach Malone had the most fiery press conference Ever After the loss but the worst part listen closely to what’s going on in the background how hard is it just to absorb a loss like this after after going ahead by 20 question man the season’s over that’s what’s hard dude he is so mad and you can hear the Timberwolves celebrating in their locker room that is cruel but how much trouble are the Nuggets actually in right now is their window closed well remember last year their playoff run was beating the wolves in year one with goar 21-year-old ant the sons year one with KD sweep the Lakers and the the 8 seed Miami Heat not exactly the toughest road that off season nuggets GM Calvin Booth said if everything’s optimized we should win three or four titles are you sure about that yes they’ve got the best player in the world but not an elite defense and uh the West is getting really good the young Thunder Luca the Wolves we don’t even talk about the Memphis Grizzlies anymore and with the new CBA you can’t just pay everybody there is a chance the gold Golden State Warriors were the last NBA Dynasty for a while teams that stack Talent are like the Suns who pay a big three and can’t afford a bench so the Nuggets might go down like the bucks or the Raptors as teams that were really good with a superstar but only won a single title but they were still up 20 in the third quarter this wasn’t supposed to happen but the Wolves swarmed them with their size outrebounding 29- 15 in the second half Nas Reed came in blocked joic on one end put back on the other Carl Anthony towns had the biggest game of his life I have called him a soft player who melts down in big moments not in game seven if it wasn’t for him the Nuggets could have been up by 30 at half the best defense on Joker and did you see the dagger put back dunk to seal the win but ant is a legend for only scoring 16 points and still having a huge impact on this game we all thought oh comparisons to Michael Jordan well this is the spot game seven defending champs on the road if you’re MJ go drop 50 but no the Nuggets double teamed him from the start so instead he made amazing passes seven assists and only one turnover that is clutch and leave it to ant to troll the crowd waving goodbye in the middle of a play but my favorite part about ant is his attitude listen to what he says about a specific teammate but if you were going to hand out a game ball for this effort who would get Jaden McDaniels no question no question dude couldn’t wait to shout out Jade McDaniels he couldn’t even let Ernie Johnson finish his question because there’s a big difference between Cocky and Confident we all love to hear an say I could turn pro at hockey or swimming if I wanted to but if you listen close he’s not arrogant I mean when ESPN asked him about who the future face of the league is he said oh I don’t know SGA is really good Luca’s been to the Conference Finals and they said uh what about you and he said oh I’m only 22 years old I’m not there yet that is actual humility from a guy who’s supposed to be cocky no he just believes in himself and that makes other guys want to follow him but what makes him really special is what he said before game seven did you tell the locker room staffer in Denver you were going to be back hell yeah they know y’all was in there yeah I told them I said I see y’all mother for game seven yeah you know who says that kind of stuff guarantees a game seven because he is so confident guys like Kobe and Michael Jordan it is so rare to pair Elite Talent with that killer confident mentality usually we only get one or the other Simmons or no offense Zion Williamson all the talent not the mentality or you got like you know Jose Alvarado who’s a bulldog but not especially gifted but can the Timberwolves win it all well normally a team has to take steps before winning the chip the Nuggets lost in the second round then the Conference Finals then they broke through the Bucks did the exact same thing but the Wolves haven’t even been to a Conference Finals in 20 years can they handle that pressure we lost last year yeah but that that that’s different you have to lose at a bigger stage usually teams usually it’s the playoffs we lost last year we lost the last two years God damn how much more we got to lose how much you want us to lose Los it for 20 years I mean that’s just the truth dog god damn okay okay maybe they can but if they do it ant will really be a legend because the last time a 22-year-old was the best player on a championship ship team was Magic Johnson in 1980 actually two years younger as a rookie since then we’ve had guys like Dwayne Wade and ‘ 06 at 24 years old or Tim Duncan 23 but it almost never happens it took LeBron and MJ until their late 20s to win their first title but ant is different because of the team around him really great vets the number one defense and a solid bench but other players would hate to see r goar win a chip they recently voted him most overrated in the NBA by a mile most people think oh it’s because Rudy has an annoying personality actually the real reason is even stranger

Anthony Edwards is onto his first Conference Finals after defeating the defending champs. This shocked the NBA world but Ant has a habit of saying things everyone was already thinking. This is a look at Ant’s comments and what the Nuggets need to do going forward.
