Aside from talent and skill, an athlete would also need a healthy dose of self-belief in order to succeed at the highest levels of competition in any sport. Minnesota Timberwolves rookie and 2020 first overall pick Anthony Edwards has proven that he is brimming with talent, and in a recent interview, he showed that he isnāt lacking in confidence either.
This is legitimately hilarious:

In the interview, Edwards was asked about being a multi-sport athlete when he was younger, and the 19-year-old responded that he could excel in any sport. When asked if he could play a sport aside from ping-pong, baseball, football, and basketball, the former Georgia Bulldog responded that he can also excel in tennis, swimming, and lacrosse.
āWhatever you need me to do, Iām gonna do it, as long as thereās money on the line, Iām gonna do it,ā Edwards said, even adding that he can excel in golf, hockey, and even things that arenāt really considered sports such as trash can ball and cooking food.
While it remains to be seen whether Edwards can excel in the other sports and non-sporting activities that he mentioned, itās clear that he is capable of playing at a high level in basketball.
In his NBA debut, the rookie finished with 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists in 25 minutes of play in the Timberwolvesā 111-101 win over the Detroit Pistons in their season opener. After his first game, the Atlanta native said he didnāt find the transition from college to the pros difficult, since he was double-teamed all the time during his time at Georgia.
While itās unclear whether he can be āA1 from Day 1ā in the other sports that he mentioned, itās apparent that there is one sport that Anthony Edwards is already capable of dominating.
