Anthony Edwards recently filmed a commercial with Andrea “Kimi” Antonelli, the young Mercedes Formula 1 driver. Behind the scenes, the Minnesota Timberwolves star told Antonelli about his favorite arenas and how much he enjoys getting under the skin of opponents and fans.
Edwards explained to Antonelli why playing in New York and Boston requires a particular level of mental preparation:
The Timberwolves guard then admitted that he is one of the few NBA players who doesn’t back down when it comes to trash talking.
Getting under his opponents’ skin without losing the competitive spirit has become an integral part of his persona. And, as his conversation with Antonelli showed, Edwards doesn’t appear to have any intention of slowing down.
