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