Team USA led by youngsters like Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves, and others are back for their second game in the FIBA World Cup 2023. They take on Greece, who doesn’t have 2021 NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo at their disposal. They’re looking at a chance to seal their qualification for the next round of the games. As the games progressed, a Greek fan caught the attention of fans on Twitter and also Edwards.
While the Minnesota Timberwolves star was making his free throws, NBA fans were reminded of Diar DeRozan, DeMar DeRozan’s daughter’s mind games a few months ago. However, this time, the fan’s tactics didn’t work out.

Greek fan takes on Anthony Edwards in hillarious exchange
Diar DeRozan, Chicago Bulls’ star, DeMar DeRozan’s daughter was the talking point of the play-in game between the Bulls and Raptors just recently.
After all, her high-pitched shrieks were the reason the Raptors missed a huge chunk of their free throws. Interestingly, her ‘mind games’ helped the Bulls beat the Raptors 109-105 and advance to the 2023 NBA playoffs.
It looks like the FIBA World Cup 2023 has already seen a version of DeRozan. When Team USA star Anthony Edwards stepped up to take his free throws during the third quarter, he was welcomed with screams from a fan.
