NBA: Star player Anthony Edwards of Wolves destroys Nuggets to face Game 7… See more
The legend of Anthony Edwards continues to grow.
Edwards was so confident the Timberwolves’ would win Game 6 that he told a Nuggets staffer following their Game 5 loss that he’ll see him again for Game 7. Here’s what Edwards said when asked Thursday night, after he scored 27 points and the Wolves smoked the Nuggets by 45 points, if the rumored interaction between him and the Nuggets staffer was true.
“Hell yeah. They know. Y’all was in there. I told him, I’ll see y’all (expletive) for Game 7,” Edwards said.
Edwards is showing that he is one of the best young playoff performers the NBA has ever seen, but it’s his brash confidence off the court that makes him one of the most likable players in the league.
In Game 6, he finished with 27 points on 8-of-17 shooting to go along with four assists, four rebounds, three steals and only one turnover.
He is only one of four players in league history to average more than 30 points, five rebounds and five assists in elimination games, joining a historic group of LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Luka Doncic.
