“I’m still friendly with a lot of the people who work at the organization,” Griffin told ClutchPoints. “I didn’t get a chance to go to the new arena last year, but I’ve talked to Lawrence Frank from time to time and I intend to try to get over there and visit the arena. I mean, it’s definitely not a no-no. I just, I was busy and chasing kids around and I didn’t get a chance to go there. But those fans and that organization definitely hold a special place in my heart.”

Blake Griffin points out Anthony Edwards’ underrated skills

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is having another stellar campaign, once again showing why many consider him the face of the NBA.

Although he has scoffed at the label, Edwards cannot ignore the impact he has had on the league, especially among fans. Edwards’ charming style and colorful personality have made him a very popular player in his generation.

The 24-year-old Edwards has also matured over the years, understanding the game better and accepting that he needs to become a complete player, not just a scoring machine.

Former NBA star Blake Griffin pointed out people have ignored Edwards’ defensive skills.

“Offensively, he’s getting better and better every year, and it shows. But one thing I don’t hear talked about enough is how good a defender he really is. He’s not a target guy. You don’t think about putting him into a ton of work. You avoid him. He’s second on the team in steals, fourth in deflections,” Griffin said on NBA on Prime.

“He’s really a guy that’s doing it on both ends of the floor, which is huge for a team.”

Griffin, who was also a very popular player, also noted the importance of Edwards’ fun-loving attitude. Even when he is on the court, he likes to chat around and joke, which motivates him to play more.

Griffin said, “The other thing I love about Ant is that he plays the game of basketball and really lives it. It’s contagious to a team, and that team carries that personality.”

Edwards, who recently won his first All-Star Game MVP, has often been praised for his work ethic and stubborn attitude to join the NBA’s elite.

He has led the Timberwolves to a 36-23 record – fifth in the Western Conference – entering their game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome on Thursday.

“Keep doing what you’re doing. To (win) two out of three tournaments is pretty special,” Reeves said in a video posted on Instagram by the PGA Tour.

“Whatever you do, don’t listen to us,” Griffin said.

Gotterup said he knew Reeves and Griffin played golf and he appreciated that they were supporting them.

“It’s funny. It’s amazing. They’re both actually reaching out to me, so it’s cool,” Gotterup said.

“Even though I went to OU for one year, it felt like I went there for all four (years).”

Gottrup said that Reeves “got the game” and expressed his desire to play with him one day. He also gave credit for this to Griffin’s swing.

Gotterup has continued to climb the rankings, outperforming major names at major tournaments, underscoring his status as one of golf’s most exciting young performers.
