Anthony Edwards on getting doubled: “That’s not how I want to play, I'm only 23, I don't wanna just be passing the ball all night.”

I said back when he made that dumb azz statement of past players not having skill was that I watched a mediocre defense in Dallas literally take you out the game with double coverage and it wasn't even hard traps and close outs it was just hovering around him and he looked confused on how to break those double teams and either still find a quality shot or pass out of them. Edwards should have been punishing Dallas for that strategy yet he lost the series. Stars in the past always dealt with double teams and figured out how to still be effective and get quality shots when the entire defense is keying in on getting the ball out their hands. Edwards should have worked on that skill before he criticizes other eras for not having skills

Ant is a loud YN. But he gotta understand this the big leagues, nobody care about your confidence if your team scored less than your opponent

10 threes a game isn't leadership. 10-15 Fts and a body is leadership. Like last season

Look at your c00n ass shytting on a Black player for voicing his frustrations just to protect the past.

:picard:
Dont do that. Ant was talking big shyt months ago about past players and being the number 1 option on the olympics to him now coppin pleas. That ain't a c00n thing to point that out. You reap what you sew

Him and Ja made the same mistake of running their mouth WAY too early and both of them immediately got embarrassed by the rest of the league afterwards


This is exactly why propping up people before they accomplished something is bad for the league, nikka got complacent thinking clout was a championship ring :mjlol: nikka you LOST after that playoff campaign, should've came back more focused.

Boston got better as people shat on them for not getting it done.

Denver got better because they were pissed people ignored their good play

This may be the first year the thunder aren't being look at as "oh they too young anyway"

They bouta start catching heat like Boston did if they can't even make it to the WCF/Finals with most of the vets out west being :flabbynsick: on depleted squads



And all the nikkas that got propped up early gonna be watching on streameast like the rest of us :mjlol:

People underestimate the impact of pressure. Doing it when nobody is really worried about you and doesn't see you coming vs doing it with Pac's best selling album is totally different. T Wolves coulda been a playin team last year or missed the playoffs altogether and nobody woulda batted an eye. Ant got the Mike comparisons and they went to the WCF last so of course expectations went up this year. And this is really the first time that he or this team has had that. Team definitely didn't help him by moving the perfect 4 man for him. Don't know what behind the scenes stuff went on there but you can see the difference even on 2K :russ:.

It's clear he's still a very undisciplined low IQ player. Maybe he'll eventually get there but his game hasn't pushed on in the way I think most expected.

Kobe would just shoot it over 4 nikkas. Breh tripping
Nıggas in the 90's were built different. None of that soft @Roger king type bıtchmade shıt ya know.

Speaking of which, @Roger king angry dap if you're a bıtch.

Kobe would listen to Halloween before his game. Jordan played through the fụcking flu.

Nıggas also didn't tolerate their teammates playing like ass either. League kinda soft. :manny:

This dude literally called players in the past unskilled but this nikka’s brain shuts off when he’s double teamed :dead:


And blaming Randle ain’t going to work . This nikka be camped on the perimeter pounding the air out the ball. If Randle a ball stopper what the fukk Anthony is ? :heh:




Imma need them gold AE’s he was rockin on Thursday though
