How do you think your generation of basketball is different from older generations? Anthony Edwards: I didn’t watch it back in the day so I can’t speak on it. They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don’t think anybody had skill back then. [Michael Jordan] was the only one that really had skill, you know what I mean? So that’s why when they saw Kobe [Bryant], they were like, “Oh, my God.” But now everybody has skill.

What did Team USA do to celebrate getting gold? Anthony Edwards: We just popped the Champagne, you know, learned how to do the Champagne. Got together as a team, told each other we’d miss each other and we had fun. What are other favorite memories from the Olympics? Anthony Edwards: I dunked on Kevin Durant. The second day, I dunked on him in practice. -via Wall Street Journal / August 20, 2024
Damian Lillard names his current favorite players: I’m gonna go with Anthony Edwards. I think everybody is super high on him right now but I like him because of his energy, like the swag about him is authentic, and he got the game to go with it. So I’m gonna go with Anthony Edwards. I’m gonna go with Ja Morant. He got into some trouble so I think people kind of turned off to him a little bit but I mean I know what I’m looking at. Luka Doncic, I’m leaving somebody out… Joker and Giannis. That’s my five right now. -via YouTube / August 20, 2024

Damian Lillard on Michael Jordan at NBA Top 75 event: ‘Everybody was there but when Jordan walked up that’s when I was like ‘this man is like not even a real person. There was probably 80 cameras surrounding like the other 74 players. When he walked up it was probably his own set of 60 cameras and he walked up and it was like, you could see right away he ain’t like, we part of the top 75 but he’s the one. Like he a part of his own group. That was when it was the most obvious to me. Seeing him walk up when they called his name out it was like… we could all leave now. Let him go up there by himself, that’s how loud it was. That sh*t wasn’t real. -via YouTube / August 20, 2024
