The match between Team USA and Greece at the FIBA World Cup featured an amusing incident. The well-known Minnesota Timberwolves star, Anthony Edwards, added another entertaining chapter to his growing collection of on-court antics.
An audibly passionate fan, probably supporting Greece, made it a point to yell whenever a Team USA player was at the free-throw line during the whole game. Similarities were drawn between the person’s dedication to upsetting the focus of the American players and a memorable moment when DeMar DeRozan’s daughter became an internet sensation for her enthusiastic shouts during an NBA Playoff game.
However, the climax of this auditory duel came when Edwards approached the line. With Team USA leading 70-48 in the winning moments of the third quarter, he didn’t just silence the ardent fan with a successful free throw. Instead, displaying his charismatic style, Edwards playfully returned the favor by echoing a shout in the direction of the stands.

The lighthearted nature of Anthony Edwards is not shocking to NBA fans. Despite being young, he has established a reputation as a player who not only possesses exceptional talent but also as someone who thoroughly enjoys the spirit of the game. He is a player who is both skilled and immensely relatable, as evidenced by his engagements, which range from lighthearted banter with opponents to happy chats with fans.
The said fan, although possibly a source of annoyance for Team USA, deserves credit too. Their determination and passion for supporting Greece, though unconventional, showcases the passion basketball can evoke in its faithful fans. As the saying goes, if you can’t join them on the court, join them with your voice from the sidelines.
Team USA’s journey in the FIBA World Cup continues, with their next match scheduled against Jordan. The game, set for 4:40 A.M. Eastern, will require dedicated fans to set early alarms to catch the live action. But given the unexpected and delightful moments this World Cup has provided, many might consider the early wake-up call worth it.
