Anthony Edwards on new Timberwolves owner A-Rod: I don't know who that is
Dane Moore: Anthony Edwards on his feelings about Alex Rodriguez being the Timberwolves new owner: “I don’t know who that is. I know he’s going to be the owner. But I don’t know anything about baseball.”
On Monday’s “Undisputed” on FS1, in which Sharpe serves as cohost alongside Skip Bayless and Jenny Taft, Shannon Sharpe discussed a quote that he had thought came from Durant. The false quote, from an unverified Nets fan Twitter account, reads: “People try to discredit my rings, but honestly I feel like they’re the most valuable of our era. People argue (LeBron) is the GOAT, but if I beat him in back-to-back finals, then what does that make me?”

The two of them continued their exchange on Twitter, with Durant calling Sharpe out for responding to someone else instead of him. Sharpe responded: “KD, IF* you wanna talk to me. I’m not hard to find, but I’m not going back and forth on social media. Whatever our differences are. They can be handled out of the eye of social media.” Durant tweeted a screenshot minutes later to show that Sharpe had blocked him on Twitter.

Kyle Goon: Vogel mentions that Slick Leonard “always had strong opinions about Lance Stephenson” and “was always a big Lance guy,” which makes me want to ask approximately 1000 follow-ups.
