Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards surprised many people with his lack of knowledge towards the NHL's Minnesota Wild and MLB's Minnesota Twins.
Edwards made the comment during a special guest appearance on the sports comedy podcast Sundae Conversation. As the franchise player from the Timberwolves, fans would assume he knew at least one player on Minnesota’s professional baseball or hockey teams. However, Edwards, who is always up for debate of being the face of the NBA, is always brutally honest with his remarks and lacks the media trained fake answers many star athletes give.
“I don’t got no favorite player from them either. I don’t know no players from the Twins or the Wild. I’m going to keep it a buck with you, I don’t watch no baseball or no hockey,” Edwards said at the 2:56 mark.
Given his tendency to be blunt, it’s funny to hear his honesty here just admitting he doesn’t watch or care about the other pro teams in Minnesota.
