Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards was the star of the show, dropping 44 points in the win. But his comments after the game took over everything.
During a postgame interview of teammate Julius Randle, Edwards can be heard shouting. Even Randle couldn't keep a straight face upon hearing the comments from Edwards and had trouble finishing his interview.
"I'm the best in the world! Go tell all the girls!" Edwards yelled in the background.
80% of Julius Randle's media availability via the Wolves YT is just Ant background noise.

Edwards has built himself up as one of the more fun personalities in the NBA. Fans love his persona on and off the court, and he tends to back up his talk on the floor.
These comments are exactly what the league needs right now, as ratings have taken a dip. Edwards being on a playoff team is exciting, and fans will be tuning in to see him in action.
Minnesota is a dangerous team due to the ability of Edwards, and he has them on the brink of making noise in the postseason again. The Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals a year ago behind strong play from Edwards throughout the postseason.

For the season, Edwards has averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. The star guard has also shot 39.7 percent from beyond the 3-point line this year, which is a career-high for himself.
The Timberwolves believe that they can cause damage in the postseason due to the experience from last season. While they aren't the same team, Minnesota has been pushing well of late, and they've climbed up the standings.
Minnesota has gone 7-3 over its past 10 games overall, holding a record of 47-33 for the season. This team currently sits in the No. 8 spot of the West playoff picture, but the race is only separated by a few games.
The fate of the Timberwolves this season remains unknown, but don't sleep on them as contenders in the West.
