Julius Randle knows a thing or two about having a supremely confident teammate, and he put Anthony Edwards on that level. Edwards's postseason play has raised eyebrows around the NBA this season as he has taken his game to another level.

Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards have propelled the Minnesota Timberwolves to a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Golden State Warriors. Randle, impressed by Edwards’ mentality and drive, drew a bold comparison between the rising star and Lakers icon Kobe Bryant.

The Timberwolves now have a 2-1 lead after pulling out a clutch win on the road against the Warriors. Anthony Edwards turned it on in the second half, scoring 28 of his 36 points in the last two frames, while Julius Randle was a steady force throughout the game, racking up 24 points of his own.
