Recently, the dialogue between Edwards and NBA celebrity Maddie has attracted widespread attention and has become the focus of hot searches in the United States. Edwards was asked about heads-up in an interview, expressing confidence in his abilities, believing that in NBA history, only Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Durant are the top players in his mind, and everyone else is not in his consideration. He stressed that with his physicality and ball control skills, he was able to easily beat any other player.
Maddie was clearly upset with this and publicly refuted Edwards' remarks. He pointed out that Edwards, as a young player, lacks enough accolades and achievements to challenge his seniors lightly. Maddie mentioned that Edwards is not qualified to point fingers at past stars and questioned his professional achievements, arguing that he should not be delusional to be the future face of the NBA.
In the face of Maddie's criticism, Edwards did not show weakness and responded emotionally: "In addition to 35 seconds and 13 minutes, what other honor can you Maddie get?" He emphasized that he led the team to the Western Conference finals early in his career, and Maddie failed to even make the second round of the playoffs in his career, questioning Maddy's eligibility.
This conversation not only reflects the clash of perspectives between the two players, but also highlights the generational difference between the younger players and the older generation. Edwards is clearly confident in his abilities, while Maddie represents respect for traditional honour and a wariness of young players.
As Downs was traded, Edwards' emotions seemed to get more agitated and his rhetoric became tougher. The debate not only gave fans a glimpse of the different styles of the two players, but also sparked a discussion about the honor and status of NBA players. In any case, this "war of words" has undoubtedly added a lot of talk to the upcoming season, and it is expected that the performances of the two players on the field will bring more excitement to the fans.
