Ant’s belief in himself is what will take him to greatness. He doesn’t just talk either he puts in a lot of work, he’s looked better every season.
Fact
Facts!
Love his mentality
I’ve got no issues with what Shaq said
Right? He said he loves ANT and he thinks he WILL BE a great player but he hasn't been in the league and playing at the highest level long enough yet to be considered an all-time great which is what Shaq was trying to say.
@@chrisberg3648 I agree, he wasn't comparing Ant to Jeremy Lin, he was bringing up the case of Jeremy Lin as an example of someone being anointed way to quickly, and to not overreact to the short term.
That PG move was a CLEAR trip if you go back and look, stepped on Ant's foot.
#5 is HIM. Something about his game gets people hype. He can jump out the gym, he can shoot, he can post, he can dribble, he can defend. The future is #5 in Minnesota.
I don’t wanna hear anymore stupid ass comments about Ant needing to be in a bigger market. Denver and Milwaukee are small market teams and they won the chip.
Exactly! Such a stupid comment for people to say he needs to go to big markets to win
True. But only because they had the mvp who was so unstoppable they carried their team to the chip. I don't think ANT can do that anytime soon. Not even close to being a mvp yet. He's got a long way to go.
He's a maybe two years out from being a top 5 player. He's already a top 10 guy in my opinion. He's the second best SG in the league behind Luka@@lukelee3
The guys you spoke of were pushed by mainstream medias since coming into the league whereas, Ant wasn't taken serious after he said he didn't watch basketball. Joker and Giannis were scouted and rightfully so, but Ant was only seen as a high jumper-not someone with potential to lead a team to a title. Now, they're seeing he's not even in his prime and he's peaking and doing everything they said he couldn't do while still expanding his game. He's well beyond his years in terms right now because it usually takes about 6,7 years of playing professionally to see where someone is and whether they've reached their ceiling. Ant hasn't hit that mark yet and is definitely one of the tops in the league.
And the lakers are garbage right now
Shaq was right imo. He rightly points out that we must take a long-term approach when we start talking about "greatness."
Yeah, I don't think you can be great just yet when you only been in the league for 3.5 years. ANT seems like he is going to be great though.
he only said that because ant said he didn’t love basketball or something like that before the draft
It was disrespectful. How he going to say that when the dude is getting better each year.
Yea people throw out that term 2 often
and SHAQ knows about greatness !
Shaq didn’t compare him to Jeremy Lin, he was basically saying he want Ant him to sustain greatness for years. Look at Jeremy Lin, who was great for a short time. Y’all be reaching on here
Facts. Weak minded people man and weak mentality. Thats all it is.
Lin shot up to a star for like a year. We ddnt see him coming up..antman different we warching him progress
We've seen a lot of flash n the pans that can't maintain consistency
thank you
He said, “we all remember Jeremy Lin” in the context of discussing Ant is great or not. That was and is an absurd and stupid thing to say.
Shaq didnt diss him. He just wants to see more consistency. Remember hes old school
Shaq is the most unique player other than Wilt. Shaq could've scored 50+ every night. They didn't let him. That said, he has an unique worldview. Shaq doesn't really tell the truth. He just does what he's told and given a little free license to say funny shit. I still like the dude. He's not old school like Wilt, or even Rick Barry for that matter. I digress. Ant is the new wave. More pundits are going to criticize him. He's just going to keep on doing what he does.
@@ryansnustad9133old school era your referring too has changed terminology my guy it’s now called “Ancient NBA” the old school term has been repurposed for the 80-90’s era now. 😂😂😂
Madness that 90% of these Ant clips aren't from this season. This is the year Ant is truly finding it.
Went to school with his momma k-12 and his uncle. R.I.P. to them & his Gmomma wish she was here to see him shine. . 💐 🙏
@1min your comment is wrong. Ant steps on PG's foot. Don't be so amatheur...
“Although” 🤓
Facts
Damn you really hurt over that? I’m a clipper fan and I laughed at that shit. But I wouldn’t discredit him and call him an amateur if the rest of his video was 100% facts. Grow up
yall wasn't saying that when curry stepped on paul's foot😂
Your a weirdo
Ant is the best young Player in NBA .
Facts!!
better than Wemby ?
@@aliasone9827dumb ofcorse
wemby is 20 ..in a years time he will be unstoppable ..ant is 22 he's good but 2 year head start@@loweschannel172
Facts
Within 5 years Ant man will be widely considered the best player in the league. I am fortunate enough to have witnessed every one of his games since coming into the league, this guy rizes to the challenge, never backs down and loves the challenge of beating you 1 on 1 on both sides of the court.
Shaq just saying straight facts. Ant just have to sustain it, if not sustain, surpass what he doing right now.
Shaq was right, ant has the same adaptive skills as Lin that’s why he said their game is similar
Agree w/99.7%. Shaq isn’t comparing Antman to Lin, he’s comparing streaks, time & FOMO. He’s warning not to gaslight Ant or for that matter any given players success. Being the legend that he is, he’s reserving high praise, until warranted. Ant is proving himself & so is Jamal Murray…it’s the changing of the old guard, into the new assassins. Jokic, Ja, Ant, Jamal, Miami…the leagues in good hands! Thanks for your prescient vlog, it’s proving itself right, considering the current state of the playoffs.
That "Embarrassing play" PG had he tripped him lol.
Shaquille didn’t compare him to Lin, he simply said to be great you have to be good consistently over time not for a short period like Lin.
Anthony Edwards is my favorite player in the league right now. He's a DAWG 😤
MJ sittin back with a cigar thinking " yeah son you got game"💪🏿🏀👑
I am watching this video the morning after Ant turned John Collins to dust.
DWade was my hometown hero since I was a kid in 2006, then when he played for the bulls he introduced me to Jimmy and I immediately liked his game and mentality so I followed him after DWade was done. And now Jimmy is already retiring soon so I have been searching for that player for years now that have the same mentality and craziness to the game that embraces hardwork and defense and it was Anthony Edwards. And now I'm watching his games and I'm really impressed day by day. I'm already an Ant fan regardless of winning and losing.
Bro, the same as you. The only difference is mine was Westbrook, Butler and now Edwards. I love that alpha mentality.
SGA is better
@@kennybrooks8374he’s 22 years old
@@kennybrooks8374SGA is also 3 years older than Ant 💀
@@joewhann9545 age ain't nothin but a#
Shaq just talks until he thinks his point makes sense but in the end you're just left confused..
He’s a great player already. Let’s see if he avoids injury and actually gets to where MJ, Kobe, and all the other super stars are. he’s gotta get some rings before the hype gets crazy
He is already a top 5 player, he plays on both sides of the court!! How many players play like him now?
He ain’t even close to being top five the dudes trash he is inconsistent and he’s old
I remember there was an interview the year he was drafted where he admitted that basketball was more of a job/occupation than his true love/passion... And then continued to elaborate on how he was just really talented at ball (and expressed how much he loved football, just wasnt as talented) and saw it as an avenue to open up more opportunities in his future. Fair point. I align it to Joker's stance on basketball versus his love/passion for horse racing and Ant's love/passion for football. Edit: Not saying that hasnt changed though. And to be fair he also said during that interview, that he did enjoy getting better and putting in the work though. Just said he wasn't that into watching bball games outside from playing... (didnt clarify if he was into looking at tape in order to get better... tho 2 different things and besides the point)
I don’t think he ever said he wasn’t just as talented at football he may have though 😂 if he did wasn’t true
Good point.
You missed what doc rivers said about Ant on the bill Simmons podcast a few months back.
Lol Doc Rivers is not a legend! 🤣
@@hoopersln you crazy. Doc one of the biggest names in the NBA over the past 15 years. He may not be a hall of fame basketball player but he’s a legend in the BBall community.
Perk. Austin rivers . Dennis scott
MJ is my favorite player of all time but Ant is EASILY right there. His attitude and versatility is #dummy
Dude, he was not comparing ant to lin. He was saying that lin had his little run, so he can't be considered great. Same way, he said ant hadn't had enough time to be great.
Anthony Edwards. I hold my comment until the season is over 💌👏
Hmm. I didn’t hear an exact comparison to Lin. I heard Shaq say keep showing up kid
So happy to have him on my twolves
I didnt see that as a diss on Jeremy Lin. Linsanity is a golden moment even recognizes by Shaq.
Shaq didn't compare Ant to Jeremy Lin. He was giving an example of a player that was hot for a quick minute then disappeared.
He didnt compate him to lin. He used lin as an example of someone getting hot then fizzing out. He said ant was the man and to be considered great continued consistance is required. Not sire whatvyou were hearing.
Shaq never “compared” him to Lin, and all what he said was right for that moment. Ant would do better listening to Shaq than someone saying he’s already so great
Absolutely can & will be top 3 player in the NBA
Agree....right after LEMELO & LEMELO !
Praising him while being in the beginning stages of his career.. While discrediting Jordan after all of his great accomplishments is how backwards this world is now.
Nobody discrediting Jordan everyone is exited pay attention to his game he is goat potel
He already is a top 10 player in the league he’s at #10 on espn 100
TOP 20........maybe
Ant was number one in high school number one at Georgia so the kid is still growing best to come out the SEC
shaq said that because ant said he didnt like basketball or something like that before the draft
Wolves vs Lakers WCF this season as 20th anniversary since 2004.
I agree with Shaq you have to sustain it over time
He used Lin's run as an example. he didn't compare them.
“HELL NAH” 😂 shorty gone be NICE!
If he stays healthy he’ll be top 5 no doubt
Shaq wasn’t comparing Ant to Jeremy at all lol. He was just explaining the difference between someone being hot and great. He just used Jeremy as an example of someone who was very hot, but definitely not great.
It would never happen because neither of these West teams would fall on the sword for the other, but if Anthony Edwards (22) and Victor Wembanyama (20) were on a team together, they are equally driven, thoughtful, and talented, the rest of the league would be scared for the next decade.
i think Shaq not compare Ant to Lin. Shaq give Ant a critic to be better everyday and he doing it rn.
Him gat de swagga
Jeremy Lin was a solid point guard and got fucked over by the industry as much as he is an example for how far we can soar it also shows you how quickly they toss you to the side. Jeremy Lin really went to the g league again and was a top player in that league and was one of the only people to not get a contract idk why people wanna mention him still
You as a athlete should believe you are the best.
Prove me wrong
He is.a team player and try to make his teammates better, confidence nothing wrong with it.
I been a t-pups, fan since day 1, and thought Garnett would go down as the best timberwolf of all time...lemme tell u, hate to say it but not even the big ticket aka Garnett could stop Ant when he gets going. Already a top 5 most def should b in consideration for mvp
Horry always hit dagger 3s
Nah Ant Tripped on pg13 leg
Top 5 maybe in the big 3 let's see what happens
🤣 "We wont talk about Ant getting crossed", yet plays it in slow mo
He’s already in his prime
Spolstra is the best coach in the league right now? The disrespect on Pop's name is insanity
Not only is ANT top 10, he's top 5.
Top 10 player no doubt.
ummm, maybe top 25
This whole video is respectfully a glaze of the highest degree and you sir need to get off tip
How the speaker in this video viewed what Shaq said is definitely wrong. He wasn't belittling ANT Man, nor he was comparing ANT to Lin as if they play the same way. That wasn't Shaq's point. Nah uh.
It's his turn to be lifted up and I'm just waiting for the SLAM
If i could subscribe 100 times i would 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🐺
Thank you man! I appreciate you! ❤️
Not just reggie over hyping ... youtube and just about everyone in who watches sports .. if you dont over hype you are hating nowadays
There was nothing wrong about what Shaq said, he was respectful and on point.
Ant crushes Dwayne mj
I have no problem with SHAQ's comments.
You were trippin with the Shaq take!!! He didn’t say anything wrong and he wasn’t comparing the 2
Edward's is the new face of the nba
Ummmm can u say LEMELO ?
Ant Nan is the Truth!
I herd that before I forgot what player said the samething and MJ and MJ schooled him
Let's see if he can beat the jokic 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Pg stuck his foot out to trip ant, he didn't cross him up
Ladies and gents according to Jordan we finally have our second coming of MJ. AE is the next era of Jordan basketball packed with the Trey ball in his game! Man can shoot it from three!
If Timberwolves can Defeat the Clippers which I hate to admit it(I'm Kawhi fans XD). Then it will be bad news for the rest of the team because they can win it all.
Shaqs doing the thing he does where he criticise them to see if they can back it up
Ant the Truth
Racism happened to J Lin lol
best part....he returned the favor. YOU ROCK JEREMY !
Santown ant is#1
Timberwolves are winning a championship
Wemby is the hottest player in the league hands down then it's edwards.. those are the only 2 players right now that I wanna collect as far as graded gem mint rookie cards
Both OVERHYPED...
He is the best young supper star!!!!!
He is entertainer, he passion of the game he is complete player I can’t get my eyes off when gr playing!!!
Shaq wasn't wrong about ANYTHING he said AND he didn't compare Lin to Edwards. If you listen, Shaq is saying you need to have multiple seasons of consistent play under your belt in oder to be considered GREAT. Edwards hasn't had that, but he has gotten better each year though.
he only said that because ant said he didn’t love basketball or something like that before the draft
soon to fail....flash in the pan
Go 4 Yours Ant-Man
shaq comment is not disrespectful at all to me. he is correct. he agrees that ant man is great and he wants to see ant man to sustain his greatness in a long run and what's wrong with that? shaq is not wrong and it's not embarrassing at all. I don't know wtf you talking about dude
Let’s just wait for ja to come back.
So far off on Shaq's comment. He never once said anything about Ant being Jeremy Lin. Shaq was just making an analogy, that a player to be considered great is consistently performing at a higher level than everyone else for a long period of time. I don't know how this interpretation was so far off, if you're listening to the same statement from Shaq that I just heard. People just like to make up their own narrative on things for attention, or they just don't listen! This is why we have two ears and one mouth...SMH...
Go Dawgs
Hes supposed to day mj cant guard him..TF. now Mj putting 60 on edwards
60 or more MJ would eat 'em up !
He was the covid pick
Reggie Miller’s spinning celebration makes him look like a 5 year old
Top 10 guy right now? ANT MAN is Top 5 right now!
You'll really be comparing some guys to the wrong players. Trust me some players just be a talk for a few seasons. And until the NBA find a better face or try to keep his face good
Shades hardd
Shaq just hates the Timberwolves… Why? They’re not a big market team. He’s so lame.
Dude talking bout Reggie give it a rest
Anthony Edwards is a superstar but don't forget Ja Morant people.💯
ant is already better
ummmm can u say LEMELO ?
When jimmy was with Minnesota that was a lit year in the NBA
