Some quotes from tonight's post-game press-conference from Anthony Edwards
> "Finch is the best coach in the NBA if you ask me. He does a great job of getting guys involved, just coaching guys and making guys better. Letting people know what he want, what he need from you. He’s just a great all-around coach, man."
> Later, Edwards said he was "the best basketball-Madden player in the world." When asked about John Madden's death, he said: "It was sickening, man. I was playing Madden when I heard the news. So I had to beat somebody by 30, 40 points to show my respect.
>
> Ant said he wouldn't want any of his teammates to join him in any Madden 3-on-3 game/tournament. He'd want YouTubers BlackReign4 and Throne to join him. "They'd be on my team and we won't lose."
The majority of us grew up on Madden Football games. Watched the Madden special that aired on Saturday. He was a national treasure. To Madden.

The Replacements is my guilty pleasure movie that I can almost always have playing in the background. And that's saying something, with Memento, Gladiator, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, X-Men, Space Cowboys, Erin Brockovich, Billy Elliot, Men of Honor, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and Almost Famous also on my favorites of the beginning year of the millennium. It was also John Madden's largest film role, and after re-watching it last night, it's incredible how he really put himself into calling these "games."
To honor one of the greatest to have given their life to the sport of football, and is the face of the Madden franchise. John Madden should be on the cover of Madden 23
I'm just curious. Thanks for some honest answers
Edit: thanks for so many answers. Helped a lot to understand the history behind football, the video game and coach himself
RIP
