Kyrie Irving on the Anthony Edwards matchup: “As a peer, I love that. It’s not
hing better. When Ant was a little younger, I’m sure he was watching me. When h
e was in high school, I was watching him. It’s more of those exciting matchups
that I look forward to. Right after the game (Game 7 against the Nuggets) it was
funny because he said it (about guarding Kyrie). I think the whole world was lo
oking like, ‘Ok, you better know what you’re talking about, Ant.’ I respect t
hat, and that no fear mentality that he has is why I love him as a competitor an
d I love him as a person. When we are on the court, I know he’s going to give i
t his all, I’ll give my all, and at the end of the game, it’s all love. When w
e’re in between those lines, he knows what it is and I know what it is.”
「身為他的同行，我喜歡，沒有什麼比這更好的，我知道Ant從小時候就開始看我打球，而我
到他上高中後也開始注意到他，這個對決讓我非常興奮，金狼第七戰後他說了一些關於要守
住我的話，我想全世界都在對他說”你最好知道自己在說什麼”，我非常尊重他的這番話，
就是這種大無畏的心態，讓我不論是作為對手或是個人都非常欣賞他，當我們在場上時，彼
此都會拼盡全力，但比賽結束後，還是會欣賞彼此，我們都知道這點。」
