Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves is one of the best young players in the league and could be named MVP within a few years.
His success in the NBA is because of his amazing skills but also because of his mindset.
Speaking with Lane Florsheim, per Legion Hoops, Edwards revealed the advice that has helped him make such an impact on the league.
“Keep the main thing the main thing. A lot of people get somewhere and lose sight of the reason they got all this fame or money. I just want to keep getting better at basketball,” Edwards said.

Edwards is essentially saying that all players need to stay focused on what matters most once they start to make waves in the league.
They can’t get distracted by rivalries, fame, fancy cars, and big mansions.
Instead, it’s crucial to remain laser-focused on playing the best basketball possible.
Edwards is definitely following this advice because he has gotten better season after season.
Last season, he averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists and earned another All-Star selection.
He was able to help power his Timberwolves deep into the playoffs and officially turned them into a team to fear in the Western Conference.
Now the expectations will be even higher in 2024-25.
Timberwolves fans will be hoping to see the T-Wolves go far again, and they want Edwards to continue performing at such a high level.
That means he will need to remain focused and keep his mind set solely on being the best player for his team and his fans.
He will need to double down on following this special advice.
