With Anthony Edwards, Minnesota is among the teams that could add to NBA's parity era
Minnesota star Anthony Edwards is acutely aware of how this is the NBA's parity era, with eight different franchises winning the last eight championships.That stat might give some teams hope.
Minnesota is among several NBA teams that could capitalize on the current era of parity, which has seen eight different franchises win the championship in the last eight years. Anthony Edwards, Minnesota's star player, remains focused on achieving a championship rather than hoping for one. "I don’t really have hope. I just got will," Edwards told The Associated Press.
"It’s just that simple. Whoever we line up against, you just not going to sit here and tell me that their team is going to beat our team." If recent history is any indication, a breakthrough club is likely to emerge this season. Previous champions include New York, Oklahoma City, Boston, Denver, Golden State, Milwaukee, Los Angeles Lakers, and Toronto.
Potential contenders for the 2023-2024 season include Miami, Portland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Indiana, and Minnesota. Minnesota's coach, Chris Finch, believes that the Wolves' success in recent years, including making the Western Conference finals twice, bodes well for their chances. Edwards, who is 25 years old, is a four-time All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, averaging 28.8 points per game.
His drive to win the championship is his sole motivation, focusing on the process rather than the end goal.
