    What a weird question. It’s like one you ask if you are fishing for story lines but you already have a boat load of low hanging fruit for the media from this series… New MJ, young player to lead a NBA team to finals, nuggets collapse – are they the new bucks.

  2. Vegetable_Comment_82

    I feel like the interviewer thinks he can say the N word.

    ESPN: “Anthony Edwards Disgusted by Idea of Jamal Murray, Isn’t Sure How Old He Is”

  4. AntiTopspin

    I don’t think Murray is the level of player that people look up to lol

    He’s like Denver’s version of Khris Middleton

  5. TheDenimTearsDon

    Why the fuck would he look up to Jamal Murray? When Jamal started winning in the league Ant was already an all-star lmfao.

  6. allknowerofknowing

    Wow cant believe ant would lie about his childhood idol like this just cuz he’s embarrassed about it. This should serve as all the motivation murray needs

    If players can be fined for answers, reporters should be fined for asking dumbass questions

  8. Pay-Green

    The reporter at the end knows how stupid his own question was lol.

  9. Plants_R_Cool

    KD been in the league since Ant was 5. Weird question.

  10. 808zAndThunder

    Borderline “Is Lebron like a father figure to you” type question 😂

  11. Snafudumonde

    Is LeBron like a father figure ass question

  12. GentlemanHere

    Reporter knew he fcked up by the end and trying to hide his embarrassment.

    Was so slick with the “Jamaal been around for a minute” though lmao

  13. reddevilgus19

    I wonder if the follow up question was: “Do you look up to him as a father figure?”

  14. Reporter taking the over. Trying to work that 50 piece.

  15. That journalist is a dumbass. Glad his dumb face is in the clip. Sad state of sports journalism

  16. Misterstaberinde

    What I like about Ant is he would probably shit talk MJ if they asked him that question during a series against him.

  17. GentlemanHere

    It makes it so much worse for the reporter that his face was on camera. You can capture the exact moment his soul leaves his body.

  18. Becky_R0ggers

    cant blame Ant with his response, i mean his level of play today compared to murray… I mean he might learn a thing or two but if the question is subject to KD for sure he’d say Yes since we know how he fancy KD

  19. Tongen420

    When I grow up, I wanna throw heat packs on the court

  20. Ant worded that answer very politely and respectfully. But the media and this post took the worst of it as expected 😂

  21. MajinOni21

    An OG is of the generation of KD, LeBron, Curry, Westbrook, and Harden

    We calling anyone OG now😭

  22. Wait til they ask Bronny who his father figure is

  23. Intelligent_You_9793

    Ant really maturely answered that question and explained why it didn’t make any sense.. this makes me even more worried about my nuggets because he’s only 22. He’s looking at everybody on the court like they’re barely an equal to him which may be very accurate besides Jokic.. Nuggets need to figure something out ASAP, Ant is out for blood!

  24. DrKingOfOkay

    Murray too busy getting locked up to look up to

  25. Edwards has a way of making stupid questions sound even stupider somehow, but in a good way that is also blunt and makes it seem as though the answer should have always been obvious as fuck. I don’t know how he does it. I fucking love it.

  26. dontworrybehapa

    Why would Ant look up to him? They’re the same height.

  27. Tr3y_Johnson

    Awful question. This is like when they tried to get Kyrie to say LeBron was like a father to him.

  28. charlesfluidsmith

    I don’t understand why the continue to try and infantilize these black men.
    It’s disrespectful as hell, and leans into to ugly narratives.

  29. bigatjoon

    Did it hurt to see one of your heroes throw a heat pack at a ref?

  30. lxkandel06

    Bro, ant is two days older than me… and he looks like he could be running the league pretty soon. What the fuck am I doing with my life

  31. Otherwise-Contest7

    Russell Westbrook “What? Bro what are talkin about man” meme applies here.
