In a recent post-game interview, LeBron James expressed understanding towards Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards regarding his hesitation to embrace the title of the NBA's future face. Edwards, a three-time All-Star, stated that while he feels capable, he has no desire for that spotlight, preferring to focus on his game. Former NBA player Channing Frye criticized the nostalgic comparisons of current players to legends like Michael Jordan, arguing that it discourages younger talents from seeking such labels, as they face constant scrutiny for not measuring up to past icons.
I feel Ant. I understand. I completely understand. There's this weird energy when it comes to that.
I'm capable of being that guy, but I don't want to be that guy. I want to be the guy to just show up and hoop.
Nostalgia is killing the NBA... why the f- will anybody want to be the face of the league when you're going to get s- on, on every network?
Nobody celebrates these new people, so it's ridiculous. It is unfair.
