LAS VEGAS – Never one to lack confidence, Anthony Edwards was asked Sunday what the adjustment is going from being the No. 1 option on the Timberwolves to a team full of No. 1 options and future Hall of Famers on Team USA.
"I'm still the No. 1 option," Edwards said. "Y'all might look at it differently. I don't look at it no differently."
He then added: "I just go out there and be myself. Shoot my shots. Play defense and they got to fit in to play around me."
As usual, Edwards' unflappable bravado set the internet abuzz in the aftermath of his comments, considering players and NBA MVPs such as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid occupy the floor with him.
