Anthony Edwards Makes Daunting Non-Michael Jordan Like Admission After Crashing Out vs Mavs

The momentum had been built, but the Minnesota Timberwolves broke down at home. It was all about the Dallas Mavericks today. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving became maniac scorers, punishing the tenacious Wolves defense for 72 points. Anthony Edwards took a valiant stride along with Karl-Anthony Towns, but the blood just kept flowing. Dallas was the superior side, keeping their undefeated record at Minnesota.

After the game, a demoralized and low-energy Anthony Edwards addressed the loss. Speaking about the preparations for next season and bringing his teammates together, the 22-year-old wasn’t keen on holding workouts in the summer. He trusts the work of his teammates and has begun thinking about the next season.

“I mean, yeah they got their own trainers, their own guys. Yeah, they just work on their game”, said Edwards. While they might not work together, the message has been clearly conveyed. “I just told them y’all know that we’re going to be right back in the same position next year. So y’all know how you need to train to get ready and include myself”.

For all the Michael Jordan comparisons, Edwards is truly a different kind of leader. He shows faith in his teammates to do the work and unit using their shared goals of a championship. Jordan wanted to witness these preparations. His standards and work ethic were unmatched. His Airness wanted his teammates to follow his strict regime and naturally, he built trust in those who didn’t fold under his intimidation.

However, much like MJ, Anthony Edwards has experienced an early setback. The Timberwolves didn’t expect to make it this far prior to the season. But the fact that they did and came so close will agonize Edwards. His cunning mentality is only going to grow more fierce and he is going to return with burning motivation next season.
