00:00Sixth player in NBA history to score 1,000 playoff points before the age of 24.
00:05He joins Kobe, Tony Parker, LeBron, Kevin Durant, and Jason Tatum in that party.
00:10Of course, last year they made the Western Conference Finals and they lost to Luka and the Mavericks.
00:16Anthony Edwards, will he be more ready this time around?
00:20How prepared do you feel? How much more prepared do you feel to try to get it done this time?
00:25I can't. I can't really speak on how prepared I feel because I don't know.
00:29We haven't started playing yet, but hopefully I'm more prepared than I was last year.
00:36I think that it was a good experience for him.
00:39I think that they were a different team, I think, with Cat than they are now with Randall and DiVincenzo, etc.
00:48He's just a better player all around a year later.
00:51He is a pain in the ass for everyone to stop.
00:56You cannot stop it.
00:57The guy does amazing things and does whatever he wants on a basketball court.
01:02He really attacks and shoots very well from outside.
01:07He's got everything.
01:08He's got an outside game.
01:10He's got a mid and he's got a severe ability to attack the rim violently, dunking the ball or getting inside and kissing it off the glass.
01:21He's got the Jimmy kiss down.
01:22He does got the Jimmy kiss down, that's for sure.
01:26Here's Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch.
01:29After making the West Finals last year, he laid out the challenge to the team in training camp.
01:34It looks like that they have fulfilled that.
01:36Here's Finch.
01:37The challenge we laid down to our guys from day one was quite simple.
01:41It was one question.
01:43You know, were you a Western Conference Finals team or were you a team that just happened to make the Western Conference Finals?
01:49And there's only one way to prove that.
01:51Go out and do it again.
01:52And that was our mission all year.
01:54And, you know, it took a lot of growing pains, but the teams come together at the right time and playing its best basketball.
02:02Look, I'm willing to say it.
02:06I think that this team is going to beat the winner of that Denver-Oak City.
02:13I do.
02:14I think they're legit.
02:16And they just moved the ball.
02:18They got so many different guys that can have big nights.
02:22It's like, you know, frankly, Boston.
02:26I mean, they won a chip, right, with what?
02:29So many guys that can kill you.
02:31When you got like seven, eight guys that can knock it down from anywhere, you're dead.
02:39And I think that Minnesota has that.
02:42For me, you know, I think the Thunder are really fast and young and exciting.
02:49But for me, it's kind of ball hog Shea and everybody else just get out of the way.
02:56This other team, Minnesota, they're like this Pacer team.
03:00They just move it around, and it's like a pinball game.
03:03And then the next thing you know, you got five different guys with a great look, and they knock them down.
03:10And then how about this?
03:11The Pacers, when they miss, they always get a second, third chance.
03:14Have you ever seen anyone get more offensive rebounds and putbacks and second chances and set up again with 14 seconds to get it going again?
03:22Like, it's unbelievable.
03:24That's Minnesota Indy.
03:26No one wants to see it.
03:28It could happen, folks.
