Social media has exploded this week with a new viral meme called “How it Started vs. How it’s Going” that has users reminiscing on old photos and memories while displaying them next to current ones.

The meme eventually infiltrated sports with teams in leagues around the world getting in on the action. From the Seattle Storm and four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird to Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, the basketball community has provided some great memories.

The Purdue men’s basketball team even joined in on the fun when they posted a couple of photos of former guard Carsen Edwards. The Consensus Second Team All-American is seen posterizing a college player in the first picture and former MVP James Harden in the next one.

Edwards broke out his dunk over Harden during the Boston Celtics’ final scrimmage game ahead of the season restart. He scored 19 points in that contest and made all of the highlight reels when he slammed it in over Harden with his left hand.

Edwards logged two appearances with the Celtics during the seeding games at the Walt Disney World Resort and one brief stint during the playoffs in the second round. He recorded 15 total points in his two appearances during the seeding round.

Though the dunk over Harden didn’t officially count on the stat sheet, since it occurred during a scrimmage game, we will allow Purdue to use it in this situation…
