Reggie Miller thinks 'a lot of people don't know about' Anthony Edwards
Another TNT basketball commentator has outed themselves as having not watched much of the Wolves lately, or maybe at all.
Hall of Fame guard and now TNT analyst Reggie Miller had several uninformed takes about the Timberwolves during Thursday night's Suns-Lakers broadcast.
"Those young cats ball out. They play well at both ends and their offense is great. It's surrounded by Anthony Edwards, who a lot of people don't know about. He is the next coming," proclaimed Miller.
A guy set to feature in a Netflix documentary who received MVP votes in ESPN's latest GM straw poll, who gets compared to Michael Jordan by NBA scouts and who earned praise this year from Erik Spoelstra and Steve Kerr sure doesn't sound like a guy who "a lot of people don't know about."
While the rest of the national media have seemingly jumped on the Wolves' bandwagon this year, the crew at TNT keep their 'Minnesota haters club' membership cards freshly laminated.
Charles Barkley recently said he no longer believes in the Wolves because they had the audacity to lose two games in a row for the first time this season... in January. (Note: Every other team in the league had lost at least two games in a row by the time the Wolves had their first losing streak of the season.)
The internet, as always, was quick to roast Miller for such an absurd take. Most pointedly there were a few posts on X pointing out that Miller left the Wolves off his 'Western Conference tiers' list entirely at the beginning of the season.
Keep in mind the Wolves have now held the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference for 55 consecutive days.
Other commenters keyed in on Miller proclaiming the Wolves' offense was "great." A fairly simple search on Pro-Basketball-Reference would show you Minnesota has the 22nd ranked offense. Quite simply, not great.
Edwards and the Wolves are set to feature on TNT next Thursday when they host the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies. That should provide for some more compelling commentary.Â
