There is something Anthony Edwards said after his Timberwolves were eliminated from the NBA playoffs that didn't sit well with one former Laker.

His role model for that should be Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who isn’t as athletic as Edwards but is an artisanal foul-drawer. Edwards needs to learn that getting fouled doesn’t get you a foul call — making the officials believe you’ve been fouled does. So he should work on that craft.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are on their way to the NBA Finals after taking out the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games, and this season's Western Conference Finals runners' up are already thinking about how they can come back stronger in 2025/26.
