Ayo Dosunmu has heaped praise on Anthony Edwards and has compared the Minnesota Timberwolves star to Muhammad Ali and three NBA greats.
The 26-year-old joined the Wolves in February this year, and he has built a great relationship with all of his new teammates in Minnesota.
Edwards, in particular, has become a good pal, and Dosunmu has given an insight into what the Ant-Man is actually like.
Edwards is arguably the biggest star on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster.
The 25-year-old had an unbelievable start to the season, but is currently sidelined following surgery on his knee. The initial diagnosis was that he would be out for around two months.
The Timberwolves have missed Edwards, but everyone associated with the team is convinced that he will come back stronger.
That is because of his mentality, which every member of the Wolves roster has constantly seen – not just during games but in practice as well.
Dosunmu said about Edwards in The Players' Tribune : "Ant. He's special. As a trash talker, he's like what you hear about with the Kobe (Bryant) stories, the MJ (Michael Jordan) stories, the KG (Kevin Garnett) stories. No, really, I think a better comparison is like the (Muhammad) Ali stories.
"He's jogging back after a bucket like: 'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I'm a bad man! I'm so pretty!!!'"
Edwards isn't just a really talented player, but his personality is incredible as well. That is why he is so loved, not just by the fans but by his teammates as well.
The Minnesota Timberwolves need their star man back. If he hits the ground running once he returns, there is every chance they will achieve their ambitions this season.
