The NBA has hit Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards with a $50,000 fine after his heated postgame comment directed at the Los Angeles Lakers crowd. Caught on camera, Edwards shouted, “my d— bigger than yours,” in response to hecklers after a tense and emotional game.
It was raw, unfiltered, and—in the league’s view—unacceptable. While trash talk is part of the sport, especially in the playoffs, the NBA made it clear this crossed a line. Edwards’ words quickly went viral, sparking reactions from fans, media, and players alike.
Some saw it as a young player letting his emotions get the best of him in the heat of battle. Others pointed out that as a rising star and potential face of the league, there’s a higher standard expected. Edwards, known for his bold personality and unshakable confidence, hasn’t made a public statement about the fine yet.
This incident adds to a growing trend where what happens on the court doesn’t stay on the court. With every camera and microphone capturing moments instantly, players are reminded that the spotlight never turns off—even in the most fired-up moments.
