The Minnesota Timberwolves look absolutely cooked, but that isn’t stopping Anthony Edwards from staying positive, even when the sky is proverbially falling.
I won’t sugarcoat just how bad things look for the Timberwolves. They’re now down 3-0 in the Western Conference finals, and Luke Doncic likely whispered something diabolical to Anthony Edwards as the Mavs were running away with Game 3. IT’S BAD.
Still, Anthony Edwards isn’t panicking. Postgame, a reporter asked him how he remained optimistic despite now facing elimination. Here’s what Edwards shared with the media:
“I never think the sky is falling. I don’t know. I’m always positive — always happy. Been through the worst. So, the sky is never falling for me.”
"I've been through the worst, so the sky is never falling for me."

He added that he's got nothing else to do but be positive, and there's no use in being negative.

This is the right mindset when it feels like nearly everything is going wrong. It’s part of what makes Edwards so good, and because of how well he is playing, the Timberwolves have had some absolute moments of brilliance during the Western Conference Finals.
At the very least, this should tell fans that Edwards won’t go down without giving it everything he has.
