Minnesota Timberwolves in just five games. Despite Anthony Edwards guaranteeing there would be a Game 6, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving’s blistering performances made it a moot point, with the Mavericks winning 124-103. This dominant display left Edwards visibly frustrated, as captured in recently leaked audio from the match.

“This n***s talking about passing the ball and sh*t… F**k out of here. Pass me the f***ing ball.”

“I’m better than these n****s, man. Those n****s can’t f**k with me.” (0:50)

In the audio, Edwards can be heard expressing his frustration towards his teammates for not passing the ball enough. Edwards’ fiery competitiveness and refusal to accept defeat highlight his intense drive to win, even if it means calling out his teammates on the court. 

His passion for the game and high expectations of himself and his teammates were evident, showcasing the leadership qualities he brings to the Timberwolves.

Despite this heated moment, Edwards has shown loyalty to his teammates in other instances. For example, he led the Timberwolves in boycotting TNT’s “Inside the NBA” show due to what they perceived as biased and derisive comments from panelist Draymond Green towards teammates Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns. This act of solidarity underlines Edwards’ commitment to his team and his willingness to stand up for his teammates.

Edwards ended the regular season with impressive stats, averaging 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 46.1% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range. His leadership and competitive fire will be crucial as the Timberwolves aim to build a championship-contending team around him.

The Timberwolves had a season that showed significant promise, with Anthony Edwards leading from the front. Despite falling short in the Western Conference Finals, their journey included sweeping the Suns and upsetting the Nuggets, signaling a bright future for the franchise. With the right moves in the offseason, the Timberwolves could build on this foundation and make a deeper playoff run next year.


Anthony Edwards Came Very Close To Establishing Himself As The Face Of The NBA

Anthony Edwards came incredibly close to establishing himself as the face of the NBA during the recent playoff run. Leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals at just 22 years old, Edwards displayed a level of skill, confidence, and leadership that captivated fans and analysts alike. His performances in the playoffs were nothing short of spectacular, and they solidified his status as one of the brightest young stars in the league.

Throughout the playoffs, Edwards was phenomenal. He consistently delivered in clutch moments, showcasing his ability to score, rebound, and make plays under immense pressure. 

His stats were impressive, with averages of 27.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 48.1% from the field and 40.0% from beyond the arc. These numbers reflect his versatility and his capacity to impact the game on both ends of the floor.

Edwards’ charisma and personality also contributed to his rising star power. His post-game press conferences were engaging and often went viral, as did the moments when he was mic’d up during games. His candidness, confidence, and competitive spirit resonated with fans, making him a relatable and compelling figure in the NBA landscape.

Despite coming close, Edwards still faces intense competition in the race to become the face of the NBA. Luka Doncic, with his incredible skill set and already-established stardom, is his biggest competitor. Victor Wembanyama, the highly touted rookie, is also seen as a future superstar. Established players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Jayson Tatum continue to dominate the league and hold significant influence.

Additionally, the league’s veterans—LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant—still command attention and respect. These legends are not ready to relinquish their thrones just yet, each potentially aiming for one last championship run before retiring.

Anthony Edwards’ journey to becoming the face of the NBA is far from over. While he came close this past season, his continued growth, both on and off the court, will determine his place among the league’s elite. The competition is fierce, but Edwards has shown that he has the talent, drive, and charisma to potentially lead the next generation of NBA stars.
