In hindsight, it's a bit surprising how comfortably Anthony Edwards deferred to the NBA's elder statesmen at the Olympics.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost Game 3 of their first-round playoff series to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday by a final score of 116-104, and in doing so, they wasted a vintage performance from LeBron James.

James made his opinion of Edwards extremely clear as he expressed how much love and admiration he has for the young Minnesota superstar. However, James also said that it was Jaden McDaniels who deserves the game ball.
