Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves got an unexpected boost from Terrence Shannon Jr. in Game 3 against the Thunder.

The same was far from the case for Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had an off night in Game 3. The newly crowned NBA MVP scored just 14 points on 4-of-13 from the field, to go along with two rebounds, six assists and four turnovers. It was clear who won the battle between the two superstars on Saturday night.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been named to the All-NBA Second Team, marking the second straight season he's been named to the prestigious list of top players.

But now, as the league transitions into a new era of basketball, many are starting to wonder who will be the next face of the league. According to popular rapper and die-hard hoops fan Fat Joe, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is the clear frontrunner for that title.

Despite being only 23 years old, Anthony Edwards has already surpassed Kevin Garnett in a surprising NBA playoff stat for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

NBA history tells us superstars are made in the playoffs and the Minnesota Timberwolves need Anthony Edwards to find his superstar right now.

When it comes to health and durability, LeBron James is the highest standard. The 22-year NBA veteran is an expert at taking care of his body and finding the balance between rest and work. He's been a model of consistency for over two decades and has a way of bouncing back from injuries like nobody else in the league.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Co. took a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. The brand-new NBA MVP went off with a game-high 38 points, while adding three rebounds and eight assists. Edwards responded with a 32-point, nine-rebound and six-assist performance for the Timberwolves.
