Anthony Edwards Tells Former President Barack Obama To “Stand Down” While Talking Basketball

According to Sports Illustrated, Edwards was one of the many Olympic athletes featured in the Netflix series ‘Court of Gold.’ Furthermore, a clip from the show shows former president Obama speaking with Edwards and 76ers player Joel Embiid. In the clip, Obama asks Embiid to share his thoughts on Edwards’ basketball skills.

As the two men share their thoughts, Edwards chimes in with, “Man, y’all better stand down. I’m the truth.”

As the conversation continues, Obama appears to poke light fun at Edwards and Embiid getting “scored on.” However, Edwards’ response and tone toward the former president ultimately captured viewers.

Peep the clip below.

Social media users reacted to Anthony Edwards’ interaction with former President Obama in The Shade Room’s comment section.

Instagram user @kingkuujo wrote, “😂 this generation different… His tone way off, talking to a former president like tht… My mom woulda smacked me even if it was Bush”

While Instagram user @cedrichunt2 added, “This just seriously pissed me off. I’m not saying you have to kiss behind but respect his office. This generation of young black men is sad.

Instagram user @lexitelevision wrote, “That wasn’t just barbershop talk, it was a young man whose body language and speech resonated attitude, entitlement, arrogance, lack of respect, and little education. And if you do this with one of the most respected black men in the United States…”

Instagram user @bigbodytank wrote, “Call it confidence, or whatever, but show some respect”

While Instagram user @gorgeous__gazelle_ added, “It’s the tone and the way he’s talking that’s disrespectful..”

Instagram user @pretty_in_pink1136 wrote, “Some folks need to learn that sometimes it ain’t what you say it’s how you say it!”
