Anthony Edwards does not want Jaylen Brown dating his sister

Anthony Edwards certainly does not want Jaylen Brown around his personal life, serious or joking it seems. Complex Sports released a graphic of an Edwards quote when he was asked which NBA player he would not let date his sister.

Of course, the Timberwolves star said Brown was the one not allowed to do so! The Boston Celtics star and NBA Finals MVP responded via Twitter/X.

“My boy Ant been tripping since Bruce Lee died,” Brown wrote. If that’s the case, Edwards has been “tripping” since July 20, 1973 – Edwards was born on August 5, 2001.

He may be young, but Edwards has been playing for Minnesota since 2000. The Timberwolves made him the No. 1 overall pick out of Georgia that year.

Since then, he’s been a four-time NBA-All Star, twice named to the All-NBA Second Team and was on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Edwards even drew praise from Georgia head coach Mike White recently.

In the current state of college basketball, there are a handful of players vying for extra eligibility despite going pro. The recent case of Charles Bediako at Alabama caused a lot of angst outside Tuscaloosa.

“Yeah,” White told Paul Finebaum. “Rick (Barnes) doesn’t know (Anthony Edwards is) going to suit up (Wednesday) for us.”

He played at Georgia during the 2019-20 season under Tom Crean. Edwards averaged 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, doing a little bit of everything for the Bulldogs.

Some coaches have had some pointed arguments on the situation, such as Tom Izzo, Mark Few and John Calipari. White said, “to each his own.”

“All of us are going to make individual decisions,” White said. “I know Coach Oats at Alabama just got a big back in Bediako, who’s a tremendous talent who won a lot of games, and I’m sure he’ll be a great addition. I thought he played really well the other night. And you just don’t know all of the factors that went into that decision.

“It’s easy for all of us to say, ‘Well, I wouldn’t do that to the other bigs on our team.’ … It’d be hard for me if someone said, ‘Hey, you’ve got a really, really good player that wants to come right now and play.’ It’d be hard for me to turn that situation down.”
