The four-time NBA champion said, “Ant-Man did some things that I really loved and thought when I saw that it would propel him to having a great game which is wanting the LeBron matchup. Was matching up with LeBron James and he was taking that match up and he stood up to the challenge. I respect that, I can appreciate that.”

Furthermore, Green recalled Edwards’ impressive block on Rui Hachimura and added, “If I’m a Timberwolves fan and I see that some of those things that I saw from Anthony Edwards, I’m excited. I’m very excited because just the fact that he will compete like that, the fact that he will make those winning plays, that’s something to hang your hat on and that’s something to build on.”

Green also advised Edwards and co. to forget about the loss and to concentrate on the next fixture.
