All-Star MVP Anthony Edwards shares what makes Warriors' Steph Curry ‘great' originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

It’s wise to take notes from those who came before you. 

That’s what Minnesota Timberwolves star and 2026 All-Star MVP Anthony Edwards is doing in his young career. As a part of Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Edwards was able to take lessons from the older generation of stars, such as Steph Curry

“Playing with the USA team, it taught me about having a routine, especially when it comes to being on the court,” Edwards explained to reporters following the All-Star game Sunday. “Because, like, watching Steph, [Kevin Durant] and [LeBron James] every day do the same routine – it’s normal for a person to get bored with the same thing; waking up, doing this, every single day.  

“But I feel like that’s what made them great. That’s what they taught me for sure.” 

“Watching Steph, KD, and Bron every day do the same routine… I feel like that’s what makes them great.”

Curry is regarded as one of the best-conditioned players in the NBA. It’s what allows him to produce magical moments well into his 30s. 

Edwards got a first-hand look at the magic in Paris, when Curry scored 24 points, all on 3-pointers, in the Gold Medal Game against France

The meticulous routine isn’t the only thing Edwards took away from playing with Curry. Edwards noted that he learned how to play without the ball by playing with Curry, another of the Warriors star’s notable attributes. 

The four-time All-Star is averaging a career-high 29.3 points per game for the Timberwolves this season. Last season, following his Olympic appearance with Curry, he led the NBA with 320 3-pointers made. 

The sky is the limit for Edwards if he continues to take note of Curry’s game.
