The upcoming matchup between the Warriors and Timberwolves highlights a long-standing rivalry and personal history, especially for Jimmy Butler and the feud between Draymond Green and Rudy Gobert. Steve Kerr and Anthony Edwards share a special connection, as Edwards attributes much of his development to Kerr's coaching during their time with Team USA. Edwards recalls being challenged by Kerr to elevate his work ethic before the NBA draft, which transformed his approach to training and contributed to his success as a young superstar.
He was amazing to coach, Kerr said... I love his energy. I love his infectious enthusiasm for the game. There's a reason why the Wolves are where they are right now They are where they are because Ant is a superstar.
Before he came, I thought I was working hard... When he came, I was going through the drills and he kept stopping them, like, 'That's all you got?'
According to Kerr, there was plenty of room for improvement... we're the only five people in the gym...
Me and my trainer ran home after and we were just talking... we gotta pick it up. I don't know how, but we gotta pick it up.
