MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota – At only 23 years old and in his fifth season, Anthony Edwards has quickly become one of the most athletic and popular players in the NBA. He has grown to be truly dominant on the court and is currently leading the Timberwolves on their fourth straight playoff run.

The Timberwolves star is also rumored to be the “chosen one” as the next face of the league and confirmed to be an absentee father to at least three children with three different mothers.

Consequently, Edwards has spent most of the last two years facing media scrutiny for his fatherly absence, as well as some gentle encouragement to acknowledge his children more often.

It is our opinion here at 5th Quarter Sports that Anthony Edwards should go for it and tell his bastard children he loves them. We believe this would have a good outcome for Edwards because small children have no idea when you’re lying to them.

Naturally, this is a complicated course of action for the three-time NBA All Star. Should Edwards decide to go for it, he needs to keep in mind that there will always be new children to say it to and that most children grow old enough to know they have been lied to.

Downsides notwithstanding, this could be a big media move for Edwards: if he is seen, on camera, holding one of his babies or toddlers and then he tells them he loves them- that would go a long way in cooling down the media and those pesky women, at least until the playoffs are over.

In our opinion Edwards should make this move sooner rather than later, although right now the most important thing for the young star is to focus on leading his team through the Western Conference Finals against the winner of the Nuggets/Thunder series, and punching the Timberwolves’ ticket to the 2025 NBA Finals.
