Anthony Edwards responded strongly and directly to the criticism from his Minnesota Timberwolves head coach, who publicly criticized him for playing too much one-on-one and ignoring tactical arrangements after a game. He made it clear that he does not believe it is necessary to pass the ball to teammates who perform weakly and have a negative attitude during the game. Edwards pointed out that if his teammates can show the necessary toughness and positivity on the defensive end, he would be willing to pass to them and contribute to the team's victory together. However, when he sees some of his teammates not even bothering to stretch their hands during defense, such an attitude towards the game makes it impossible for him to accept, let alone entrust them with valuable ball possession. He believes that if his teammates do not take the game seriously, then he has no reason to pass the ball to them, nor will he follow the coach's advice to change this approach. Edwards' remarks demonstrate his firm stance and tough attitude; he did not compromise despite the coach's criticism. As one of the outstanding young players in the NBA, Edwards has become a box office guarantee for the Timberwolves with his excellent skills and immense potential. This identity and status give him enough confidence to engage in dialogue with the coach and even insist on his position on certain issues. Looking back at NBA history, we find that conflicts between coaches and star players are not uncommon. However, most of the time, when coaches confront star players,…

The Cavaliers really wanted Yao Ming and offered a big contract of $50 million over three years. This contract was quite sincere, but Yao's team did not respond. Secondly, the Mavericks, Cuban at that time hoped to form an inside double tower like the Spurs to win the championship, and the offer was also very good, with a salary of $17 million per year, and the number of years to be decided by Yao's team. However, Yao's team was not interested. Thirdly, the Lakers, where Kobe personally called Yao and invited him to join the Lakers. As head coach, Phil Jackson stated that if Yao came to the Lakers, he would definitely be the starter and could fully display his talent like O'Neal.

As one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson won 11 championship trophies during his coaching career and established the Bulls and Lakers dynasties, with disciples including legends like Jordan, Kobe, and O'Neal. So, if Zen Master were to assemble the strongest five-man lineup in history, what kind of team would he choose? In fact, regarding this question, Zen Master had given his answer in an interview program years ago. Now, let's take a look at who is on the old man's list. Point Guard: Magic Johnson Magic Johnson is hailed as the greatest point guard in history. He led the SHOWTIME basketball craze in the 80s. Although his career spanned only 13 short seasons, Magic led the Lakers to win 5 championships and was elected FMVP and MVP three times each. If it weren't for health issues that forced him into early retirement, his resume would undoubtedly be even more glorious. Shooting Guard: Jordan Jordan is not only the best player Zen Master has coached but also indisputably the greatest player in history. It's no exaggeration to say that Jordan almost dominated the 90s, leading his team to two three-peats, winning 6 FMVPs, 5 MVPs, 10 scoring titles, 3 steals titles, and 1 Defensive Player of the Year award. In terms of both ability and achievements, Jordan stands at the top. Small Forward: Bird Bird is considered the most outstanding white player in history, with comprehensive and exquisite skills, capable of both driving and shooting. In the 80s, he was known as the "Black and…
