Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has made quite a name for himself in just three years he has been in the NBA. Recently, Stephen Curry showered high praise on the 22-year-old, saying he was destined for greatness and could become whoever he wanted.

A day after Steph’s comments, Anthony Edwards talked about what it is like playing against the 4-time champion.

Stephen Curry is a nightmare for his opponents

After receiving high praise from Steph, Edwards was asked, “What is it like playing against Steph?” Edwards returned the favor by praising the 2-time MVP, saying, “It’s fun to see Steph. Playing against him is not fun,” pointing to the fact that guarding Stephen Curry is very hard for the defenders.

Curry is one of the most skilled players in the league, and many NBA players have talked about what a nightmare it is to guard the Greatest shooter of all time.

He tried,” JR added.
