Legendary Killer, Timberwolves beat the Warriors, Edwards earned Randy Orton s legendary nickname

Timberwolves Anthony Edwards received Randy Orton's crazy blessing before the Warriors series.

Anthony Edwards is on a fast-ascending track, continuing to shine in the spotlight of the playoff stage, as he excelled in the Minnesota Timberwolves five-game series victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Edwards is the core force in the Timberwolves' elimination of the Lakers and being the most dazzling star in the series against LeBron James and Luca Doncic is no easy task for him.

But the challenge of the Western Conference will not stop there. After Edwards and the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers, their reward was against the Golden State Warriors in the second round - a team that was also led by Stephen Curry, one of the greatest superstars of the times.

Edwards once again had the opportunity to eliminate Curry, the greatest player in history, and even a legend, from the championship battle. The Timberwolves star himself is becoming a "legend killer" in a sense, and it seems he has received the blessing of Randy Orton, the legendary killer's original supporter.

Orton won the title of "Legendary Killer" as early as the early 21st century, when he competed with professional wrestling superstars such as Sean Michaels, Mick Fley, and even Hook Hogan. It was then that Orton also became a legendary superstar, similar to Edwards's move to defeat legendary superstars such as James and (probably) Curry in the playoffs.

In fact, Edwards had already started his "Legend Killer" path last year, when he led the Timberwolves to sweep the Phoenix Suns, led by Kevin Durant, in the first round of the playoffs. Nothing proves his greatness better than defeating some of the greatest players of all time, and what Edwards is doing is that which makes him deserve to take the honor from Alton.

Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves are expected to return to the Western Conference Finals

to the Warriors led by Stephen Curry are not easy. The Warriors are the most successful team in the NBA in the past decade, and Jimmy Butler's trade joining has given them a new vitality.

But the Timberwolves also have many tall and physical defensive players, enough to fight against the Warriors' stars, and their offense is far better than the Houston Rockets. Although the Minnesota Timberwolves have been criticized for trading Carl Anthony Towns, they still have another great opportunity to advance to the Western Conference Finals, and of course, provided that Anthony Edwards can continue to maintain excellent scoring abilities.
