    Big moment for Anthony Edwards pregame. His grandfather, Ben, is attending one of his games for the first time since high school. Ben didn’t get out to many of Ant’s games as he was growing up, so tonight is a special one for Ant. His arrival was kept a surprise til this moment.

    Anthony Edwards: "I was nervous for real, I ain’t gonna lie. I told Bron … I ain’t been nervous in a minute. My first time playing in the Olympics. I definitely was nervous."

    Rudy Gobert was 4-for-5 in the first half and had 10 points and eight rebounds. He was a +14, and successfully defended in isolation on the perimeter multiple times, but this is going to likely go viral because this is the sports media consumption world we live in.
    wtf does Rudy Gobert work on in the offseason? 😭

    Anthony Edwards said the best rim protector in the league is Kristaps Porzingis. On Rudy Gobert, Ant was honest ... 'Anytime I go against Porzingis, I don’t get no layups. I don’t get why we couldn’t finish on Rudy Gobert. He don’t put no fear in my heart. I don’t know why."

    I've been working on a piece about Kyle Anderson's leadership and his blunt, honest way of talking to teammates. I asked Rudy Gobert about him yesterday. He's what Rudy said.

    Anthony Edwards: "I love my shots. Whatever shot I take, whether it’s a stepback trey ball or a stepback mid-range. Or a floater or a layup. Whatever my shot is, I like it. Sometimes coach may not like it, but I love my shot."

    Anthony Edwards on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson: "I was just telling them., it was easier to guard them when it’s just Steph. Get the ball out his hands, double him. But now you double him and it’s swing-swing to Klay Thompson. Pick your poison. That’s hard to guard, man."

    Here’s Anthony Edwards celebrating with two people who have been in his life a long time, business manager Justin Holland and Drew Banks, his former youth football coach who Ant lived with for a while when he was younger.
    I recently went to Atlanta to learn as much as I could about Anthony Edwards. This is a story of family and community, how he got to the NBA & of the profound impact he had on those around him. "Ant is a true Atlanta baby. The city took care of him." startribune.com/timberwolves-a…

    Mike Conley was talking about the youth on the Timberwolves roster, and he mentioned one of the first things Anthony Edwards said to him. "You play Call of Duty?"
