Anthony Edwards Takes Shot at Denver Nuggets While Signing an Autograph

At the NBA Summer League, a young Denver Nuggets fan wearing a Jamal Murray jersey approached Minnesota Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards, who was sitting courtside to watch his team. Someone informed Edwards that the fan was a Nuggets supporter, which was presented as a caution against being overly friendly, likely in jest.

Edwards responded quickly and lightheartedly, stating, "It's all good," and adding, "I be busting their a--." This exchange was captured in a clip and shared on social media, sparking discussion.

The clip invites two possible reactions: dismissing it as a trivial Summer League moment or questioning whether Edwards should make such a boastful claim. To evaluate his statement, evidence from recent NBA seasons is considered.

Historically, the Timberwolves swept the season series against the Nuggets last year, and the year before, they defeated Denver in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. However, in the prior season, the Nuggets beat Minnesota in the postseason and went on to win the championship, which remains the only title for either franchise.

The author argues that the championship title holds greater significance than regular-season wins, especially since Edwards has not yet reached an NBA Finals despite being discussed as a face of the league. This positions the incident as an ideal mid-July debate topic for basketball fans.
