On May 11, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's playoffs, Timberwolves star Edwards shined. Earlier today, Edwards spoke to ESPN's Malika Andrews, who talked about a lot of controversial topics about him, including his comparison to Jordan.
Because of his looks, style of play, etc., Edwards has always been called the next Jordan. In response, Edwards said, "I want people to think I'm a unique person. I'm not the next Michael Jordan, I want to be the first Anthony Edwards. I want people to say, "This kid is really good. He has his own style. "Maybe I have some Michael Jordan traits in me, but I have my own style of basketball. I can shoot threes, so I think I'm going to be a little bit different in most areas. ”
Because there will always be very domineering celebrations on the field, Edwards is also described by many as arrogant. In this regard, Edwards explained: "A lot of people say I'm arrogant. Edwards, they will say, is too arrogant. But I don't feel arrogant. It's not arrogant, it's just that I'm very confident. I just feel like I'm the best of all the things I do. ”
On the topic of whether he can become the new face of the league after James Curry Durant, Edwards said: When it comes to the face of the league, Edwards said: "I feel that Jokic may be the face of the league now, along with Doncic, Tatum, and Alexander. Of course, I'm not far behind. But I'm not the face of the league yet, but I'm sure it will happen one day. ”
In the playoffs this season, Edwards averaged 32.3 points per game while shooting 54.7 percent from the field and 41.9 percent from three-point range, both of which were career highs. At present, Edwards led the Timberwolves to sweep the Suns 4-0 in the first round, and led the Nuggets 2-0 in the semifinals, and has a very good championship prospect.
