The Timberwolves star opened up to his close friend Nick Maddox on his life and game on the latest episode of Adidas' 'Illuminated' docuseries. When posed the question of what he would choose between winning a championship and seeing his teammates reach their potential, Edwards opted for the latter.

The upcoming first-round playoff series between the Lakers and Timberwolves will have as much star power as any other across the NBA.

Last season, Minnesota was an underdog in the first round despite being the No. 3 seed and just one game behind the No. 1 seed. The Phoenix Suns were -115 to defeat the Timberwolves, which ended in a 4-0 sweep by Minnesota, where Edwards showed nothing short of pure dominance all series long.
