“ant-man” Anthony Edwards got his message across loud and clearand it’s one the league needs to take seriously. Furthermore, The star quarterback for the Minnesota Timberwolves has spent the entire offseason chasing something far beyond the statsapproval or fame. As a result, as the new NBA season approaches, Timberwolves fans can feel Anthony Edwards shifting into a new gear.
During those months, Edwards kept hearing the same word in his head: a single, relentless reminder of what separates great players from legends. Day after day, whether he was running the stairs at Target Field, pushing through early-morning gym sessions or scrutinizing film of Luka Doncic and Shai Giljus-Alexander, the voice kept saying one word: unstoppable.

Now, entering his sixth NBA season with the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards is done searching for validation. He’s not content with All-Star nods, dunks, or even comparisons to Michael Jordan.

“All I want them to say is we couldn’t guard him,” he said. “We. Could. No. Guard. Shotty.”
