Anthony Edwards is one of the best players in the NBA and has an opportunity to catapult himself to even higher levels of stardom this spring with a Minnesota Timberwolves championship run. He is also extremely confident in his ability and has not been known to shy away from making bold claims about his game.

Barkley accused Edwards of pulling off a Paul Pierce, which is a reference to the former Boston Celtics superstar's infamous wheelchair incident during the 2008 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Anthony Edwards was unable to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to victory in Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors, and a former NBA MVP criticized his performance. The Western Conference semifinal series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors tipped off Tuesday night at Target Center.
