Justin Jefferson has established himself as a prominent figure in Minneapolis, but he’s not alone in the spotlight.
Anthony Edwards, following his remarkable performances with the Minnesota Timberwolves, received praise from Jefferson after a stellar showing against the Denver Nuggets.
Jefferson, acknowledging Edwards’ impressive display, sent him a concise three-word message on Instagram: “You is crazyyyyy 🤯🤯.”
The Timberwolves’ official account captioned the exchange with “Real recognize real 🫡.”
Edwards’ standout performance included a playoff career-high 43 points, marking him alongside basketball legend Kobe Bryant as one of the few players to achieve back-to-back 40-plus point games at 22 or younger.
Beyond their on-court prowess, Jefferson and Edwards share a similar trajectory, both arriving in Minnesota in 2020 as rising stars in their respective sports. While Jefferson boasts three Pro Bowl appearances, Edwards has already earned two All-Star nods, demonstrating their talent and potential at a young age.
Financially, both players are set for lucrative futures, with Edwards recently signing a substantial five-year extension, and Jefferson poised to negotiate a significant deal of his own, potentially resetting the market for his position.
Their impact extends beyond statistics; they’re seen as key figures in keeping Minnesota sports relevant and inspiring hope among fans for championship success.
Moreover, the mutual admiration between the two stars adds an extra layer of excitement to the sporting scene in Minneapolis, promising an exciting future for both the Vikings and the Timberwolves.
