all right thank you very much Ian Eagle
we’re getting set for Inside the NBA
presented by KIA we’re also getting set
to talk to Anthony Edwards as soon as a
headset is made available but this is a
guy who went for 40 tonight after
scoring nine in the first half Kenny
well his ability to create shots for
himself and it’s spectacular for him you
know we we we we admire the dunks we
admire the blocks those are spectacular
plays but he’s his extraordinary ability
is he can do the ordinary as well he can
hit a onew pullup he can hit a spot shot
and he can hit shots off the dribble so
and he can go seven out of 13 from three
without question so block shots that
that’s not his most important Talent
though his most important Talent is he
gavanized that team they know he is the
dude you every team is successful has to
have a dude that everybody who gavanized
the troop he makes all these basketball
plays but his mentality that’s what
makes him special cuz this like he is U
man it is it’s beautiful to watch but
when you have a dog and everybody who
ever plays Sports know what that means
like there are a lot of really really
good players but when you have a dog you
got a chance cuz everybody going to
follow that dog and that’s like I keep
saying that’s a grown ass man right
there and I was and I was impressed by
his mentality uh you know 22 years old
nine points in the first half I could
have easily been like you know what my
game’s off we’re going back home you
know I finish him off at home but he
played the complete Game ended up a
40 and nine rebounds and six assists and
uh Minnesota has never swept a series
but they have now and haven’t won a
series since 2004 when they went to the
Western Conference finals and now they
wait for the winner of the Denver Lakers
series I tell you
what when they play the nuggets
you know I’m surprised that demma had
the home because I know they all they
all had like the same record right there
the two seed and Minnesota the three but
man hey uh ant ready there you go and
see just like that you sto right mids
sentence very impressive Let’s uh let’s
talk to Anthony Edwards an thank you
