Extreme confidence in oneself is a prerequisite to making a living as a professional athlete, and there is perhaps no professional athlete across all sports who visibly embodies that as much as Anthony Edwards. The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar oozes a level of self-assurance that stands out even among his counterparts. It's part of why Edwards has become so popular over the last few years— and also why his quotes go viral with regularity, as was the case on Sunday.
ESPN released an excerpt from a sit-down Edwards did with fellow Minnesota superstar Justin Jefferson with the two teaming up to recreate the legendary Kevin Garnett-Randy Moss magazine cover from a few decades ago. In the clip, Edwards is going back and forth with Jefferson about whether NBA players are better athletes than NFL players before he makes an audacious claim about his future plans.
