One thing that it has always seemed like NBA players absolutely need to get to the league is a bit of irrational confidence. After all, they are playing against the best basketball players in the world.
One thing about Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards is that he is not lacking in that department — like, at all.
Edwards sat down for an interview with Timberwolves sideline reporter Marney Gellner and they began talking about how good he was at baseball in high school. He was apparently a cleanup batter for his team.
That conversation eventually went into other sports. Gellner asked what else Edwards was good at and his response was, well, basically everything.
It was absolutely hilarious. The funniest part was that I’m 80% sure he is dead serious.

“Gellner: Sounds like you’re just an athlete. Ping pong, baseball, football, basketball.
Edwards: Tennis, swimming, Lacrosse. Whatever you need me to play I’m going to go do it. If it’s some money on the line, I’m going to go do it.
Gellner: Can you golf?
Edwards: Whatever you need me to do.
Gellner: Okay, hockey?
Edwards: Whatever. On the rink. Whatever you need me to do. It don’t matter. Trashcan ball. Whatever you need me to do. Cook food, cook food. That’s something to do. I bet I’ll be A1 from day 1.
Welp. Rookie of the year has been decided. Give this kid the award already.
