Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has never been afraid to speak his mind, and on Wednesday, he shared his thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers being favored in the team's first-round series,

Anthony Edwards on playing LeBron James and the Lakers “It means a lot, to be matched up against him. Probably goes down as the greatest player to ever play basketbal. Trying to put him out of the playoffs under my belt is going to be a tough one” #bringthenice pic.twitter.com/2NC3p2b5xk

Last season, Minnesota was an underdog in the first round despite being the No. 3 seed and just one game behind the No. 1 seed. The Phoenix Suns were -115 to defeat the Timberwolves, which ended in a 4-0 sweep by Minnesota, where Edwards showed nothing short of pure dominance all series long.
