The former SuperSonics guard gave Edwards the jersey with words of encouragement after Minnesota's Game 4 win.
Green is right about Edwards possessing an offensive skill set that no one else in the world can match. Since being drafted first overall in 2020, Minnesota's young star has always been a major force driving to the rim, as evidenced by his absurd highlight reel of poster dunks.
He got ample support from Julius Randle, who had a game-high 31 points, and Rudy Gobert, who finished with a double-double of 10 points and 13 rebounds. When asked about the 23-year-old Edwards after the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was generous with his assessment.
One game after Steph Curry's injury, we were about to lose another star. But, luckily, Anthony Edwards is OK, and the Timberwolves have as good a shot as anybody to win it all.
Anthony Edwards was on a heater Monday night, scoring 16 of his 30 points in the third quarter to fuel a runaway victory for the Minnesota Timberwolves and a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against the Golden State Warriors.
