DeMar DeRozan on Anthony Edwards’ controversial take on Michael Jordan’s era ” I would never discredit or undermine anybody who came before me.”
"I was trying to understand where he was coming from. But I know from my point of view, I would never discredit or undermine anybody who came before me."
This offseason has been the one of the hypothetical

Ant is just a product of the LeBron era. It’s all about discrediting the greats and also pretending he “passed” Kobe on the all time list. But reddit gonna give me 1000 downvotes , aww.

you can’t watch Hakeem’s post mix without cumming, and realizing that he’s got a shit ton of skill…
also it’s the same take as the Cousy conversation, highlights are relative and certain guys are translatable in any era (Cousy highlights are sneaky special too)

Let these kids have fun man. The old heads had their fun in the sun. Nba would be boring as hell if everyone gave the same response.

While he was wrong, past generation players do this to the young generation all the time. So many players pre 2000s constantly say “these young guys couldn’t play in my era”. This appears to only happen in the NBA. We don’t see this happen in NFL or Tennis.

When did anyone start feeling the need to take Ant seriously? He’s the greatest at everything (presumably other sports) he has ever put his mind to. .He said that. Want to break that down too?

When he was getting all the high praise for being authentic in the media I would tell friends “this dude is gonna say some dumb shit”. To me he tries too hard. Maybe that’s just me

Anthony Edwards wouldn’t make it in a league where they hand check. All these young dudes forget they have such an advantage. Defense was actually something that got you into the league during the 80-90’s

Maybe it’d be easier to get every past and present player in an arena together so everybody can address this all at once. It’s about to be February 2026 and we’re getting Rick Brunson’s take on the situation.

I’m so over this shit can the season start soon please
nickwaynek
but disparaging the people that come after you: all good!

so, here’s the thing
1. dumb statement by Ant, it was probably tongue in cheek but certainly didn’t sound great 2. old players talk shit about the current generation all the time, so I don’t feel bad at all he’s giving shit back

Discrediting past eras is like going around dissing Bill Gates because he came out with Windows 95 instead of a smart phone.

Anthony Edwards is an idiot. Can we move on?

Yet all the OG’s can discredit what the young guys are doin. My opinion this era of basketball players would dust any other era with little to no problem.

Watch how Edwards drop both of these boys off and many more this following season.

DeRozan knew he had to watch his words because Edwards is his primary matchup. He the most prone to getting worked.

They should kiss Ants boots. He’s pumped $5B worth of economic activity into the sports podcast industrial complex. Every single day every single sports media figure has talked about this off the cuff riff by Ant lol.

We’re still talking about this? Lol

Kendrick was right, we didn’t deserve demar. None of us do, he’s the best.

Bro do we really need everyone’s comments on Ant’s comments on Michael Jordan, and comments on people’s comments on Ant’s comments on Michael Jordan?

Are we still on about this? The NFL season has started just go watch that and move on. It isn’t a slow news day anymore

Soon: we’ll find footage that shows that’s a lie.
Just basic rules of etiquette at the gangbang.
