But now, as the league transitions into a new era of basketball, many are starting to wonder who will be the next face of the league. According to popular rapper and die-hard hoops fan Fat Joe, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is the clear frontrunner for that title.

At only 23 years old, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has proven himself to be an All-NBA player and one of the 10 best in the league, but he still has one more step to take in his game. Through two games in this year's Western Conference Finals, it's the second straight season where he isn't the best player on the floor.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Co. took a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. The brand-new NBA MVP went off with a game-high 38 points, while adding three rebounds and eight assists. Edwards responded with a 32-point, nine-rebound and six-assist performance for the Timberwolves.

Another day, another fine for Anthony Edwards. This time it's for $50,000. The NBA announced the fine Wednesday night. The infraction? Edwards dropped an F bomb during his postgame news conference Tuesday after his Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

The last time an American-born player walked away with the top honor was James Harden in 2018. The run of international players winning MVP -- Gilgeous-Alexander is from Canada -- speaks to the expanding global reach of the NBA and the increased number of talent outside of the United States.

Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards have spent the past two-and-a-half seasons as teammates on the Minnesota Timberwolves, helping lead the team to back-to-back appearances in the Western Conference finals.
