All eyes will be on the two superstars from each side as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards go toe-to-toe to prove which young stud is more capable of leading his team to the NBA Finals.

Old comments from Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards on Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have resurfaced ahead of the Western Conference Finals.

Two years ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves met in the play-in tournament to determine which would get the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

On the "Mind the Game" podcast with Steve Nash, LeBron James referenced Gilgeous-Alexander on why the mid-range is more alive than ever. While defenses have hyperfixated on preventing outside looks and layups, that's opened up the middle as a vulnerable spot to expose.
