Hours after falling short to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Steve Kerr and his men take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves step into the game with heightened confidence as they are the only side to beat the Denver Nuggets. On the other hand, the rising superstar Anthony Edwards, who is fresh off the FIBA World Cup’s praises, would go against his national side’s coach. Importantly, Kerr had words of praise for Ant-Man ahead of the faceoff.

Kerr coached the Team USA for the WC, and Edwards shined brightly in the NBA world as he showcased his dominance. While fans and experts dissected his work, Kerr opened up about coaching Edwards during the pre-game press meet. Let’s find out what the Golden State Warriors HC has to say about the 22-year-old star.

Steve Kerr heaps praise for Anthony Edwards

The Dubs HC Steve Kerr is arguably the most successful coach in the current NBA era. The Warriors under Kerr-era reached the NBA Finals 6 times in the last decade and won four of them. Importantly, words of praise coming off Kerr’s mouth should definitely be a great deal for Anthony Edwards.

Ahead of the Sunday night encounter, Kerr took up questions from the press. When asked about Edwards, he had nothing but praise. He said, “One of the things I love about Anthony is his charisma and joy out on the floor. He loves to play. He let me coach him.” 

Following that, 9x NBA Champion went to narrate an interesting coaching experience during the FIBA world cup, where Kerr motivated Ant Man to be an orchestrator rather than just a scoring king.

He further added, “He’s really coachable and fun to work with. To see the success he’s having is fantastic.”
