    Anthony Edwards is so generational he’s got me rooting for Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert.
  • @dmen0563
    What I like about him is, that even if he's not having a great shooting night he can still affect the game with his defense and he will still hit key big shots

    Ant brought me back to the NBA. Love how he plays. Balanced, aggressive. Coming for you. Making Mike and Kobe proud.
  • @iguesss
    I would have been devastated if SGA, Brunson and Antman all went home just like that
  • @clifhouse47
    If I’m Bronny I’m trying to go to Minnesota. It’s a lot to learn over there real talk 💯

    Love my Wolves. That was a strange series though: 1. Wolves took first 2 in Denver 2. They lose 2 in Minnie with a blowout 3. They blow the nuggets by 45 in gm 6 4. Go down 20 in the 3rd of gm 7 but win despite 16 by Ant😂😂😂😂

    The future is bright in the NBA 👏🏽
  • @Neofilmcritic
    How about he actually wins something before claiming he is the face of the league…
  • @anataaaraki
    Where's the coverage for the Mavs? They literally beat the #1 seed and SAS pick for MVP, Free Throw Attempt Man, to make another WCF.

    This year I got a photo with Edwards at a local mall and he was so cool and relatable. Then later I ran into Jaden at home depot and he was very quiet and polite
  • And look at the way Antman Communicates with his teammates during timeouts and Transition plays, 🏀💯
  • @4ktkaram395
    Trae young was in the conference finals at 22 with no help where was this talk for him?
  • @yujohnny8256
    The Nuggets vs Wolves series really bring basketball back. Instead of bombing 3s, they did it with variety of ways. Tough defense (relative clean, no fighting), post up, midrange etc. Really enjoying it. It was so boring with all those 3s.
  • Sent Jokic packing back to his stallions and didnt even need to drop 20😂😂😂
