Accepting criticism with "Gotta pick it up" is so refreshing to hear! 👏👏👏
He have the right attitude to become a Great
His self confidence is fantastic. Someone insecure would've gotten upset and made a stink about that feedback. Edwards saw it as an opportunity to grow and rethink his approach. Can't wait to see this guy ascend and start winning MVPs and championships, he's destined for it.
I’m a 14 yr old basketball player, and in the beginning of my training session we did intense ball handling and I felt like I was going 100 percent but then he told me if u ain’t losing the ball you not going hard enough, and it’s funny cause I’ve heard people say that in videos I’ve watched before,but it really hit different when I experienced it and then I really unlocked my potential and man I was sweating, it’s making me learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

Ant is what happens when someone gives you constructive criticism and instead of crying about it and making excuses, you step up your game and make yourself better. That kind of ability is rare in his age group.
“Damn that’s crazy” 😂😂😂😂
It’s good cause he simply doesn’t know or have the knowledge on how to get to higher heights, but his curiosity makes that his biggest strength and he will find a way now that he knows it exists. I love this kid. He’s a beast

The mind of a champion. If you're a champion you will find a way to win. It's inside of everyone. You have to find that tenacity and unlock it through your work ethic. Ask any champion how they train and they'll give this response.
True mentality of a winner right there. If you think you're going hard enough and someone tells you you're not... You find a way to get to that next level. Those who just blow off those kind of conversations and think they are good enough don't have it. This man is gonna be absolutely special. Minnesota fans are lucky to have him on their team.
It's a good thing the warriors didn't have the first pick. They'd have taken Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.

The great thing about Kerr is aside from his accolades and success, he really just expects the highest levels and can identify it. He is also good enough at reading people that not only did he identify in that workout the potential he saw not being reached, but a guy in Edwards that would effectively react to that approach the best.
