“He’s fun to watch, he’s cocky, he’s brash, but he backs it up,” said ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne when describing Anthony Edwards’ personality. Those weren’t empty words. Within the span of just four years, Edwards has elevated the Minnesota Timberwolves to a new level while establishing remarkable individual stats. At the same time, however, his competitive and ‘cocky’ demeanor has often landed him in trouble. As of now, it has cost him a sum that few may not even see in their lifetime. In light of this, you would think that Edwards would be more careful about what he does and says, right? Right? Well, no.
According to AZ Central reporter Duane Rankin, the NBA has now fined Anthony Edwards $50K for using “profane language” during a media interview. This was in reference to the comments Edwards made after the T-Wolves lost in Game 1 of their Conference Finals series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Taking responsibility during the post-game presser, he said, “I definitely gotta shoot more. I only took 13 f**king shots.” That was it. The profanity part was enough to get the player another fine!
