Legendary NBA player picks the ‘toughest’ NBA player of the season

Bruce Brown Jr. spoke on the Tidal League about his personal experiences of the game and the NBA player that he has played with Theo Pinson. And during that interaction, the conversation veered to who were the toughest players in the NBA.

To that, Bruce Brown replied, “I would say, this year, the toughest players were Anthony Edwards and Shae.” He then continued, “Ant was cooking. He was doing all three levels.”

Bruce Brown is no novice in the court himself. He started playing the game back in his college days. After which, he went on to play with the Miami Hurricanes, the Detroit Pistons, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Denver Nuggets.

Anthony Edwards – a star on the rise

During his childhood, he played football and started playing basketball in high school. He played an integral part in all the games that the Minnesota Timberwolves played until they were knocked off by the champions, Denver Nuggets.
