Anthony Edwards has rare humble moment on how Luka Doncic became Wolves' kryptonite

Last season was one of the most memorable seasons in Dallas Mavericks history. One key reason why the Mavericks were able to have success and reach the 2024 NBA Finals was the spectacular play of their superstar Luka Doncic.

Doncic's play helped the Mavericks reach the 2024 NBA Finals after he earned the MVP of the 2024 Western Conference Finals. The Mavericks were underdogs heading into the series against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Doncic and the Mavericks silenced the Timberwolves and defeated them in five games. The Mavericks shocked the Timberwolves defeating them in all three games in Minneapolis, and Edwards recalled Doncic's dominance from the series-clinching game.

Game 5 against the Timberwolves will go down in Mavericks history as one of the best games in franchise history. People remember Doncic's trash talk moment in the game, but Edwards had his own view of the game. Edwards was guarding Doncic at times and Doncic dominated Edwards, and Edwards was humbled by Doncic according to a statement he made in Netflix's "Starting 5."

"The (expletive) came out and made four threes from one step inside half court," Edwards said. "At that point, we ain't got no energy. He took it all."

When Doncic was putting on his excellent performance, the energy inside Target Center was taken away. The Mavericks won the game 124-103 behind Doncic's 36-point and 10-rebound game. Doncic finished the game by going 6-of-10 from three.

This season offers another chance for Doncic to take down Edwards as the Timberwolves and Mavericks are poised to have the rivalry take off. One of the biggest games this season for both teams is when the two face off against each other on Christmas Day.

Doncic is one of the best players in the NBA without a doubt, and for another elite NBA player like Edwards to praise Doncic, is a big deal. Doncic has a lot of motivation this season to lead the Mavericks back to the NBA Finals, and the Mavericks got better as a team by adding Klay Thompson.

With how talented both superstars are with their teams, more playoff matchups between Doncic and Edwards can be in the making. Edwards and Minnesota want revenge, while Doncic and Dallas want to remain the best in the West.
