“That’s Better Than The Toronto One.” | Anthony Edwards Postgame Sound | 03.18.24

Was that the best dunk year yeah hell yeah what you think I mean I think so yeah hell yeah that was better than Toronto one hell yeah cuz Toronto one was like everybody expected me to dunk on him but this one was crazy it wasn’t even technically you didn’t even hit the

Rim you just that’s from down like that rarely happens usually guys clang those off the back of the rim right yeah that’s why I was I was I thought I was thinking I was going to miss it like cuz I wasn’t close to the room but somehow

You know God willed it in for me what happened to your hands um I dislocated my finger you can see it right now a little bit yeah so you run it back to the locker room and just pop it back in came back out and continue to play what

Do you what did that do for whether you or the team do you think going night like this cuz I don’t know if you’ve seen the reaction of everybody yeah I couldn’t see it cuz I have my finger but um what is what me coming back to play

Dude well just the Dunkle it gives everybody energy I mean it makes everybody want to defend want to get stops I mean it makes the game more excited how how’s your game evolved to the point where you know what you did out there in terms of just taking over

Every facet defense rebound to play making for others along with the scoring isolation you know how’s your game evolved from your rookie year to this point to get you to this point um levels is a whole different level um um my rookie year I was all about just being

Able to find my own shot um my second year same thing third year 50/50 now this year is like I can’t win without I know I can’t win without my team teammate so if they open I got to throw them the ball cuz I want them to trust

Me to take the shots at the end of the game and I want them to know that I trust them to take those shots and we need them to make big shots so um you know it’s a team game you can’t win without your teammates and you know we

Like brothers out there and I love them and I trust them how how important was it to close out the road trip the way you guys super important I mean cuz we got Denver coming up tomorrow and we don’t know who playing we don’t know who

Not playing for us so it was super important to get this win you’ve already you’re already down Carl you’re already down Rudy you’re losing KN at half time you’re playing small out there kind of line that’s why I told people man slow-mo was the MVP tonight everything

We needed every little thing that we needed he did it tonight and um um I I tip my hat off to him I give him all the credit like um I know a lot of people had great games but he like it might it it might not show him the stat sheet but

Every little thing that we needed he did it J yeah he played great yeah we expect that like he in the gym every day working on his jumper and you know I talk to him on the side like look bro I know you can shoot it don’t think about

It let that ride and you know he been doing it and he sh it at a high clip but that when you saw it done for the first time out there yeah it was crazy ex yeah that was crazy it was crazy I was mad I

Was able to like celebrate cuz my finger I went to I went to squeeze my hands and I realized my finger couldn’t yeah so you had you had an opportunity believe first or second possession after the free throw when you came back for that dunk when you turned the corner then you

Laid it in was that intentional or was it like I no I just laid it in uh it was like a bad angle I was like trying to get my feet right and when I got it right I just laid it in yeah just what what did you tonight whether it be this

Whole road trip or even tonight when Nas goes down like just sensing the moment of what this team needs from you whether it be scoring passing rebounding you have a better sense for it’s not always scoring yeah for sure um I said that to their bench the Utah bench um I think

Was it the second quarter maybe the third when whenever I made the behind the back pass and slow and he hit the three they was like you ain’t got that or something I was like man listen if I can’t hit I’m going find other ways to

Win us this ball game you know whether it’s passing rebounding defending guarding the best player so yeah can you just talk about like how much joy moments done brings for you for your love with basketball and like cuz I can see the yeah it gives me it it gives me

Chills man because like I always dreamed of like dunking on somebody like that and you know watching like Vince Carter jump over somebody at the uh USA stuff or like you know watching T-Mac so I always dreamed of like dunking on somebody like that and that was like my

Favorite one of all time do you hope you hope he’s doing okay cuz he didn’t come back in the game now oh yeah I hope he’s okay yeah I didn’t even know cuz I was back here until they told me so yeah um prayers out to him for sure you guys um

Just overall you had the the block to start this road trip you ended with this dunk with the dunk what’s the better part um the block because um it was to either go to overtime or you know what I mean win the game and we still didn’t win thanks thank you

  1. That game reminds me of when Kobe dislocated his finger, popped it back and just kept going. He’s got the same mentality
