Anthony Edwards comically claims he's Warriors star Steph Curry's ‘alter ego' originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Warriors star Steph Curry has seen it all with Anthony Edwards, from high-stakes NBA playoff games against the Minnesota Timberwolves guard to winning Olympic gold side by side on Team USA.
Curry, who is far closer to the end of his storied career than its beginning, paid homage to the face of the league’s next generation during NBA All-Star media day Saturday, rocking Edwards’ shoes for the festivities — and the 24-year-old was honored.
“Hey, Curry the GOAT,” Edwards said when he saw the 12-time All-Star in his sneakers. “That’s really my dog.”
Then, Edwards, who is known for his elite-level trash talk and alpha attitude, made a pretty funny comparison between himself and the more laid-back Curry.
“Like, he don’t know it but he’s really me,” Edwards continued. “His alter ego is me.”
Curry, like Edwards, certainly is known to bring out his petty side when the moment is right, hitting the “night night” in opponents’ faces, shimmying down the court after big shots and dropping slyly sarcastic responses in his postgame press conferences.
But the “Petty King” is a title that belongs all to Curry himself, no matter how badly Edwards — jokingly or not — wants to take the credit.
As for the GOAT label, Dub Nation certainly would agree Edwards has that one right.
