Video: Anthony Edwards Drops Freestyle with Gold Medal, Gives LeBron, More Shoutouts

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards isn't done celebrating his successful summer just yet.

The 23-year-old posted a freestyle rap on Instagram inspired by Team USA winning a gold medal in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant were among the teammates he shouted out in the minute-long video:

Edwards was one of the few bright spots from 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, where the United States placed a disappointing fourth.

In Paris, he made a case to be the next standard-bearer for the national team with James, Curry and Durant likely to move on. He averaged 12.8 points on 58 percent shooting.

That was after the 2020 No. 1 overall pick took another step forward across the 2023-24 NBA season, making his second straight All-Star team and garnering a handful of MVP votes.

He put up 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per contest in the regular season before helping the Wolves reach the Western Conference Finals.

Edwards has already pumped the brakes on participating in the next World Cup in 2027. In four years' time, he might be celebrating another Team USA triumph.

Who knows? Maybe we'll see the 6'4" guard drop a freestyle with the Larry O'Brien Trophy well before that.
