Anthony Edwards had an electrifying 2024-25 NBA season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, playing a pivotal role in propelling them to the Western Conference finals. He kicked off the playoff journey with dominant performances against the Los Angeles Lakers, showcasing his remarkable skill set.
The Timberwolves then continued their strong playoff run by overcoming the Golden State Warriors in the conference semifinals. However, their path hit a significant roadblock in the form of the Oklahoma City Thunder, culminating in a tough 1-4 series defeat in the conference finals.
Anthony Edwards' impressive postseason run caught the eye of many, including Paul George, who chimed in with his expert analysis on Edwards' game on the recent episode of ‘Podcast P with Paul George.’ George highlighted a key area where Edwards could elevate his game to the next level.
He suggested that Edwards should focus on developing his post-game skills. “Where I think Ant’s gotta get better is in developing a post-game.
He needs to find that calm where he can slow the game down, take a dribble, and rise up for a shot… work his way to the elbow or mid-post, and see the entire floor. That’s where his evolution lies,” George remarked.
Throughout the 15 postseason games, Edwards remained a constant force, averaging an impressive 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. His impact wasn't limited to the playoffs alone.
Flashback to February 2025, when the Timberwolves faced off against the Thunder in a nail-biting regular-season clash. Edwards turned heads with a jaw-dropping dunk over Chet Holmgren, a moment that quickly became the talk of the town.
Following the game, Edwards added a touch of humor by sharing a lighthearted locker room video teasing Holmgren, exclaiming, “Shoutout to Chet, welcome home, baby!”
Holmgren, however, didn't forget the friendly jest. After the Thunder's victory over the Timberwolves in the Conference Finals, Holmgren seized the opportunity to playfully revisit history, posting that same video of Edwards on his Instagram. This friendly rivalry highlighted not just the competitive spirit of the playoffs but also the camaraderie between these rising NBA stars.
