The Minnesota Timberwolves swept the Phoenix Suns, led by the youngster, Anthony Edwards. Ant-Man had a fantastic season, leading the Wolves to the third seed in the West, while also establishing himself as the next face of the league. Going up against the Suns, Edwards was all about business. The 22-year-old went at Kevin Durant.
Edwards’ trash talk was heard around the NBA community and Durant seemed pretty light about it. However, Hall of Famer, Carmelo Anthony, wouldn’t have tolerated such talk from the youngster. In the recent episode of the Point Foward podcast, Melo talked about Anthony Edwards’ trash talk and how he would’ve reacted to the same.
I love it. I would have been like, 'This n**** buggin'. I don't wanna kill this lil' n****. I would've been out for blood. In a competitive way, I would've been out for blood. Because I'm taking that as, 'What?'. It's just that it goes back to say 'You got to know how to put these pieces together'. And I get what Phoenix did, they said, 'F*** it', we going all in... These young boys ain't trying to hear that s***. Carmelo Anthony said
Melo says he would’ve been out for blood if Anthony Edwards treated him the same way he treated KD
