Edwards watched a lot of Kobe Jordan videos this summer, learning to lean back

On September 24, 2025, according to Shams, Anthony Edwards has been practicing leaning back in the summer, and he has watched a lot of videos of Jordan and Kobe.

Shams said: "Edwards' top training focus this summer, a new development area is low-post back-body technology. Whether it is medium back-body, high back-body or low back-body, he is working hard to create a stable mid-range offensive system, as well as back-back jump shots like Jordan and Kobe. As far as I know, he has recently watched a lot of videos of Kobe and Jordan's game to figure out how they create shots through low-post offense. The Minnesota Timberwolves believes that this technology is expected to become his trump card, especially When the game hit a deadlock and the pace slowed down, it was even more so in the playoffs. "

" Edwards knew very well that if he wanted to lead the team to achieve a breakthrough, his personal skills must go up. Because of this, since June, he has been rooting in the Timberwolves training base to practice the mid-range back-back jump shot that looks like Jordan and Kobe, which is very likely to become an important part of his arsenal of the new season. "

In the 2024-25 season, Edwards averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals.
