The Minnesota Timberwolves are struggling at the bottom of the league with just seven wins so far. They have the #1 NBA Draft on the roster, but to no avail. They are 1-9 in the last 10 games- a record that’s worse than those of teams like the Rockets and Cavaliers. 

All failure aside, Anthony Edwards is one guy that keeps the Wolves in the news for his on-court heroics and off-court antics. The 19-YO is an outrageously funny guy who can call shots to a funny remark even during a serious interview.

In a recent interview before Wolves’ game against the Bucks, the rookie sat for an interview where the interviewer asked him a simple question. To that, he funnily responded with a counter-question, “Where are you from, Jim? I like your accent. I wanna learn how to talk like that. But ask your question again, I was too much listening to your accent.”

The Wolves lost the game 112-139 in a game where the Bucks dominated, starting till the end. The young forward could record just 9 points as Karl-Anthony Towns and Malik Beasley shared 26-a-piece.
