‘Add another one to the hit list’ – Sharpe and Ochocinco believe Anthony Edwards eliminates Steph Curry

Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards has been adding legendary pelts to his wall over the last two seasons.

He has taken out Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James and Luka Doncic all in just over a calendar year, throughout the last two postseasons.

And he could add a couple more victims to his list if he can vanquish Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and the Golden State Warriors in the second round.

The 23-year-old is approaching rarefied air at such a young age.

Shannon Sharpe, Chad Johnson and Joe Johnson discussed the upcoming series on their Nightcap YouTube channel and podcast, with all three giving the edge to Minnesota.

“This is a good one,” Ochocinco said.

“Listen, with Anthony Edwards playing the way he’s playing and Rudy Gobert, if he can have another game, maybe not 27 again, but if he contributes on both ends of the court giving them second chance points, rebounding defensively, and everyone else contributing as well.

“I say it’s gonna be another seven game series and I got Ant-Man, I got Ant-Man pulling it off, adding another one to the hit list.”

Iso-Joe agreed with the team Ocho picked, but not on the length of the series.

“I don’t got no seven game series,” Johnson said.

“I got the T-Wolves winning this in about five or six games.”

Sharpe then spoke and gave his pick.

“I like the T-Wolves also because I don’t know when they go to the bench, Naz Reid, who’s gonna deal with him?” Sharpe said.

“Because not only can he shoot the three and stretch the floor, he can also go down and post.

“So now, you gotta think about it, that’s [Moses] Moody, that’s [Jonathan] Kuminga, thats trying to deal with a big, a true big.”

Minnesota is a slight favorite to win the series over Golden State.

Thanks to the Warriors’ upset over the second-seeded Houston Rockets, the Timberwolves will now have home court advantage for the series, after defeating the third-seeded Los Angeles Lakers.

It’s Edwards versus Curry.

The young star is looking to add another feather in his cap with Curry’s name on it, while the greatest shooter of all-time is looking to extend the Warriors dynastic run.
