The Dallas Mavericks were poised to sweep the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 for a shot at the NBA finale. However, Anthony Edwards turned the tables with a direct aim at NFL star Micah Parsons.
In a press conference, Edwards subtly teased Parsons, challenging him to bring back some stylish shoes for Game 6. “Micah Parsons, you know, he was rocking the AE1’s and I told him, he wear a size 14, I’ll bring him back some nice shoes for Game 6. That’s what I told him,” Edwards quipped.
Parsons, sporting a Luka Doncic jersey and Edwards’ signature shoes courtside, witnessed Edwards’ pivotal shot in the final minute, securing the Timberwolves’ 105-100 victory and extending their lead from three to five points.
