Hugo Gonzalez on guarding stars: I've had an incredible masterclass so far, a clinic under my belt. I really wanted to because one of my favorite NBA players, Anthony Edwards. I really wanted to play against him. I didn't actually play in that game in Minnesota. I remember playing six, seven minutes against Kevin Durant. In the first two minutes, I fouled him twice. I didn't see him, I didn't see him. He faked me out and I didn't see him. The second time, I tried to push him a little further out so he'd receive the ball away from the basket, and they called a foul on me, and I told the referee, 'It's not a foul,' and then a coach friend of mine said, 'Did you see how he looked at you? He looked at you like that like ‘It's a foul.’ And then you see him play, and if you're only paying attention to him, when he wants to score or when he feels like contributing or shooting or whatever, he goes and does it and doesn't see you. He just goes, gets the ball, does what he does best, which is to be unstoppable, and he scores regardless of who's in front of him.
