Anthony Edwards performed another special postseason run with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Last season, three All-Stars led the Minnesota Timberwolves to their first conference final since 2004.
A year later, he did it again. It’s even more comfortable as T-Wolves await the outcome of Game 7 between the Denver Nuggets and the OKC Thunder.
Anthony Edwards averages 26.5 ppg in the playoffs, adding eight rebounds and 5.9 assists.
He is also a franchise leader, urging his team to special performances.
This earned him a lot of praise from former NBA players.
Paul Pierce is the latest to give Edwards flowers for his recent performance and leadership with the T-Wolf.
Edwards was injured against the Warriors in the series, but he showed resilience by returning from there and playing for the team.
All of these reasons gave Pierce enough reason to surpass him in the current NBA player rankings to surpass LeBron James and Lukadon Sic.
He said: “I’m taking Luka out and I’m putting Ant-Man in. I have no questions about his condition. I have no questions about his defense. I have no questions and we all know that he can play offensively.
“I’m going to take him right now. He’s ‘a better defender than Bron. He’s now a more offensive player than LeBron.
“It puts him in my top five now.”
The former champion also selected superstars from the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder, stating the top five.
“Joker, my top five and best player in today’s game. Giannis, Tatum, SGA and of course Ant-Man” was the 2008 champion. ”
Edwards is one of the best young stars in the league leading the Minnesota Timberwolves hopes.
For the second year in a row they’ve made the semi-finals of the conference, but this time you’ll feel like it’s the best shot to get everything.
Edwards already surpasses what TO-Olves great Kevin Garnett can do with the franchise, leading them on two trips to the conference finals.
Edwards, 23, knows what his strengths are and does not require any special attention.
What makes him the perfect franchise player is his ability to involve his teammates by celebrating them after every game.
Last year, the Timberwolves had a tough test. They were the Dallas Mavericks in the conference finals, but this time they fantasize opportunities because of how stacked the roster is.
Edwards is a great player, but there are other players like Julius Randle and Naz Reed. Both are keys to the Timberwolves.
There are people who can deliver on the team, but it’s Edwards who keep them going and he needs to be at the top of his game for them to win their first championship.
