Anthony Edwards is a PROBLEM. What a performance to help @usabasketball overcome an 18 pt deficit to beat Germany. 10 pts in an 18-0 run late in 4th qtr 34 total. His defense..Fantastic. If @Timberwolves make sure to play through him, they’re gonna be a problem too – 2:07 PM

Anthony Edwards is currently +5000 to win 2024 NBA MVP. Honestly thought it was going to be closer to +10000.
Regardless. You could certainly do worse with a $10 shot in the dark.
I bet those odds are halved by the time the FIBA World Cup is over. – 2:06 PM

When Anthony Edwards came into the league, his college coach said he reminded him in some ways of another player he used to coach.
His college coach was Tom Crean. The other player just went into the Hall of Fame. I think you can safely figure out the rest. – 12:28 PM
