Jrue Holiday Wastes No Time Naming Team USA’s Biggest Trash Talker

NBA superstar and Team USA basketball member Jrue Holiday didn't hesitate when asked who the biggest trash talker on the Olympic basketball team was during the 2024 Paris Games.

Surprisingly, it wasn't a veteran like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, or LeBron James.

Instead, it was a young star making his Olympic debut—Anthony Edwards.

"Anthony Edwards, one hundred percent," Holiday said with a smile.

Edwards was a standout performer for Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics, playing a crucial role in bringing home the gold.

As one of the younger players, he made his mark by averaging 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.

Holiday, who is well aware of Edwards' bright future, didn't just focus on his trash talk. He made sure to give Edwards his due respect—a high compliment coming from a player like Holiday, who is a two-time NBA champion, six-time NBA All-Defensive Team member, and three-time NBA Teammate of the Year.

"He's a great young player, and you'll see him trash-talking for a very long time," Holiday laughed.

As the Olympic futures of veterans like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant remain uncertain, Anthony Edwards is poised to step into a leadership role for Team USA.

With respected NBA players like Jrue Holiday backing him, Edwards' presence on the court is set to be a lasting one.
