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.”
“身为他的同行，我喜欢，没有什么比这更好的，我知道Ant从小时候就开始看我打球，而我
到他上高中后也开始注意到他，这个对决让我非常兴奋，金狼第七战后他说了一些关于要守
住我的话，我想全世界都在对他说”你最好知道自己在说什么”，我非常尊重他的这番话，
就是这种大无畏的心态，让我不论是作为对手或是个人都非常欣赏他，当我们在场上时，彼
此都会拼尽全力，但比赛结束后，还是会欣赏彼此，我们都知道这点。”
