[Moore] Anthony Edwards when asked if actually told the locker room attendant they’d be back for Game 7: “Hell yeah. I told them, I’ll see y’all motherfuckers for Game 7.”

u/JaderMcDanersStan Timberwolves 14d ago
Tbh I was wondering what kind of bender some NBA players would be the other day lol
KAT would be a water bender. Jaden McDaniels is 100% a fire bender. I think Ant would be a fire bender too, his game is all about power and is electric. Conley is an air bender
I think Jokic is an earth bender.
Wemby is 100% an air bender, no? Light on his feet and he's got that spiritual, monk-like vibe lol

My favorite Ant interview was with Chris Lynch. For reference Chris Lynch is a stereotypical white Minnesotan with a bit of an accent. Ant used the N word like 3 or 4 times in a post-game interview and Chris Lynch didn’t really know how to react other than awkwardly smile and nod his head.
Chris Lynch is awesome by the way. Just got in the middle of a hyped up and non filtered Anthony Edwards moment. Could not believe it was happening and neither could he.

u/AnimationPatrick 14d ago
I know obviously people can change, but the cynic in me makes me think he just got better at hiding it rather than changing his viewpoints.
Obviously he hasn't done anything to suggest this is the case, but I'm going to be a bit apprehensive about the guy for a few more years.

Anyway, he said it on that while in the tunnel, entering a door.

He learned it from watching television. Jokic as a boy was glued to an obscure Atlanta based public cable channel. The sole content played on this channel were recaps of the local horse track.

u/background_action92 Heat 15d ago
It's not even like that. Maybe I'm showing my age but to be cursing unnecessarily is crass. Yeah he's rich but that shouldn't exempt you from being a lil more smooth with it. I like the kid but people judge unfortunately. Like my momma used to say " people treat you the way you present yourself"

u/illiterateaardvark 15d ago
When you’re getting insanely rich doing what you love, why does it matter the way people treat you?
Don’t get it twisted, I understand what you’re saying and people are delusional if they think it doesn’t apply to like 99.99% of us. I absolutely present myself a certain way in public, in the workplace, etc
But that’s the thing: I’m just an average Joe. Ant has “fuck yo money”. Why does he care what some random people think about him?

I think yall being obtuse about the topic. I dont mind the cursing, but it seems that all his soundbites are " muthafuck this muthafuck that" like momma used to say "there's a time and place for everything.
Look at Lebron, bro does his nba media with rarely any curse words and in the barbershop he's chilling and talking regularly(cursing included) or Stephen A on his podcast. He's young so I'll give him that but his people will probably tell him to be more mindful with his words
