Team USA’s practices were highly competitive, as some of the NBA’s top talent faced off in scrimmages that rivaled actual tournament games. Speaking to reporters during Minnesota Timberwolves Media Day, Edwards shared that his biggest takeaway from the Olympics was learned during those intense practices.
“I think that was the best part about the whole thing—the practices,” Edwards said. “The best thing I learned was from Steph. I took Bron’s pre-game routine, but with Steph, it was all about playing without the ball.
“The last few days, we’ve been playing five-on-five, and I just keep cutting, getting out of the way, and I’m getting easy shots,” he continued. “I think I learned the most from Steph.”
