WATCH: Anthony Edwards subtly makes fun of Karl-Anthony Towns' infamous "After All That" saying during press conference

Anthony Edwards jested on his teammate Karl-Anthony Towns during the post-game interview after the Timberwolves clinched the Western Conference semifinal series against the Denver Nuggets. Edwards subtly made fun of Towns' infamous "after all that" saying by humorously repeating the line after Towns said it during the interview.

Edwards repeating his teammate was likely a throwback to Towns' viral moment of him saying "after all that" in a different voice over a year ago during an unofficial interview.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards combined for 39 points as the Timberwolves defeated the reigning champions 98-90 in Game 7 to advance to the Western Conference finals. Towns led the team's winning effort, registering 23 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.

The Timberwolves' stunning comeback from a 15-point hole at halftime set an NBA playoff record for the biggest turnaround in Game 7. Edwards was instrumental in the comeback, starting with four points and three assists at halftime before finishing with 16 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals.

"Man, f**k them 9 years": Anthony Edwards hilariously interrupts Karl-Anthony Towns during career reflection

Before the current season, the Minnesota Timberwolves were unable to win a single playoff series since 2004. The team missed the postseason for 14 consecutive years since then before ending their drought in 2018.

Drafted first overall by the Timberwolves in 2015, Karl-Anthony Towns experienced the organization's struggles firsthand. The four-time NBA All-Star missed the playoffs in five of his first six years in the league and only won his first playoff series in his ninth year.

Towns reflected upon his nine-year Timberwolves tenure during the post-game interview after clinching the series against the Nuggets on Sunday.

"For me, being here nine years, I've seen everything and seen it all," Towns said.

However, Towns was interrupted by his teammate, Anthony Edwards, who was seemingly uninterested in the team's past shortcomings and stressed on the importance of focusing on the present.

"Man, f**k them nine years," Edwards said. "This year."
"Man, f**k 'em, right?" Towns added. "But to be here this year with these guys, this team, it's just super special."

Edwards was drafted first overall by the Timberwolves in 2020. The 22-year-old led the team to the playoffs for three straight seasons and has established himself as one of the league's premier young stars.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards will look to make a deeper playoff run as the Minnesota Timberwolves face the Dallas Mavericks next for the Western Conference finals.
