How this fandom is changing sports

What makes Anthony Edwards special is his character and attitude. His game has been compared to Michael Jordan by ESPN reporters. He takes on any challenge with determination and grit. He led the Timberwolves to their first playoff series win in 20 years. But the dominating force he is on the court is almost the opposite of the laid-back guy we see off it. He laughs, he plays video games, he keeps it light. He's winning games and having the time of his life.
