WWE superstar Randy Orton has seemingly picked a favorite between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves.
After days of waiting, the Minnesota Timberwolves finally have their opponents for the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
They will take on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in hopes of clinching a spot in the Western Conference Finals.
Fans can expect to be on the edge of their seats throughout the series. After all, both sides have tremendously talented rosters, led by two superstars.

WWE superstar Randy Orton is widely known as the legend killer for his run in the company when he essentially ended the careers of wrestling legends.
It seems like Orton wants Edwards to take on that role in the NBA. Orton did so by posting an animated image of him giving a chain with a ‘Legend Killer’ locket to the Timberwolves superstar.
Now, the image could have two meanings. First, Orton is subtly urging Edwards to eliminate Curry and the Warriors as the Baby-Faced Assassin is an NBA legend.
On the other hand, Orton could be giving the nod to Ant for eliminating LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
After all, the King is widely regarded as the GOAT of the NBA.
Edwards and Curry could have been teammates
Being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Edwards was expected to become the superstar he is today. There is no doubt that the T-Wolves will do everything in their power to keep Ant in Minnesota throughout his career.
While there are high chances of it happening, the Warriors will certainly regret their one decision from the 2020 NBA Draft.
GSW had a chance to draft Edwards as the Timberwolves were keen on trading their No. 1 overall pick back in 2020. Instead, the Dubs rejected the deal and stuck with their second overall pick.
The Warriors used it to select James Wiseman and as we know it, it turned out to be a terrible decision. Fast forward to 2025, the Warriors will take on the ‘unstoppable’ Edwards in the second round.
