Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has by no means been one to mince phrases, regardless of the state of affairs.
On Friday, as an illustration, Edwards nonchalantly instructed ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith he was higher than Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić and Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. At 22, he’s a part of a technology that eschews conventional media relations norms, matching rising stars within the worlds of music and tv.
That applies on the courtroom as effectively. On Saturday, Edwards argued a foul name with a candor so startling it was simply picked up by in-arena microphones.
Making an attempt a runner late within the third quarter towards the Brooklyn Nets, Edwards believed he was hit by Nets ahead Cameron Johnson.
“Hey! That’s a f—ing foul, man!” Edwards yelled within the path of veteran official Tom Washington.

Washington issued Edwards a technical for the outburst, simply audible on YES Community’s feed.
Undeterred, Edwards helped the Timberwolves take a four-point lead getting into the fourth quarter.
