Kobe would’ve loved Anthony Edwards..
I hate he’s not here. And Kob8 was assassinated idc what anyone says. Smh.
@@lionheart4529 can u explain how and why kobe was murdered?
LOVED!
Idk. I think Kobe wouldn't respect Anthony Edwards off the court issues.
Kobe had off the court issues as well @@rabeechowdhury
Anthony Edwards is a Big Dawg
Like we say it Memphis "Ain't it Mane"
@@TerrenReynolds Like we say in Texas "Already!"
He's a UGA Dawg!! Brought that GA swag to Minnesota!!!
Right Edwards is the shit ... might be my new favorite player
"It's raining Katz and Dawg" -- Minnesota
This dude is 22 years old. That is terrifying
So was kobe in the 2001 west playoffs....he was better
@@razkableyea but Kobe was different beast even at 18 lol
@@MiNoGanGhe was not elite in the nba at first tho lol it took him some time
@@MiNoGanGMJ was a different beast out of the gate. Kobe took years before being a superstar
Y'all were saying this about 22 year old Booker too 😂
He got that dawg in him like MJ and Kobe
HE WILL BONE YOU!?
Not yet. Let's see what he does, instead of what he says.
Izzy is jealous
Yea, we don't see that in LBJ all these years.
How tf do you know? You just say anything i swear
Didn’t even notice Kenny was gone till Vince spoke
I was like thats not kennys voice😂
Please tell me they fired him and replaced him with Vince Carter
🤣🤣
@@cheetahcheeto8630why? What Kenny do?
@@BasedRodKenny has the night off
This guy is closer to Kobe and Jordan than Booker ever was man…
Yeah Booker almost looks scared and feminine out there. But I'm still waiting for KD to show some emotions or anger out there
Exactly never agreed with the Booker comparison. He’s great but not that Kobe MJ type of great. You gotta be a true killer
@@jimmykarlsson2567Yeah, unfortunately it's true. 😔 He is a good example of discipline but man I wish I could force him to watch some Goggins videos and Rocky movies. I think Devin has lost sight of the good reasons he's in the NBA and is caught up in the other stuff. Easy for me to sit here and judge and assume, but how much do we really understand? I just hope he can still be a good role model and not so much Hollywood Booker
Anthony Edwards is what Andrew Wiggins was EXPECTED TO BE
lol we never though he would be the #1 player in the league .. what you talking About ?
@@rashadsavage4680 yes we did
Yes we did . The biggest bust
@@gazanationgaming3940 He has a ring you do know that right? 😂
@@rashadsavage4680 man literally was drafted #1 with mad hype behind him..what are YOU talking about? & youre telling me that you expected Ant to be the #1 player in the league? hell no you didnt...a .top player in league? yes sure..but #1?
Mike Conley underrated bro don’t forget how he had Memphis
Mike Conley is not underrated. He’s 36 y/o and never won anything. Made one all star appearance as an injury replacement
@@nydibsyou wouldn’t get it and I’m not even a wolves fan
@@nydibsyou pull up those points to make that argument? 😂😂😂 Damnnnnn, don't tell me you pull up statistics like ppg, rpg, and apg, as well to make a point. You must know basketball and sports so well! 👏🏽
@@chrismofo1 💯
Conley is so underrated!
MJ to Kobe, and now Ant Man… we MJ and Kobe fans approve of him!
Still needs to prove himself but he's got plenty of time
@@whenisdinner2137 you can’t prove you have the dawg in you, it’s a natural phenomenon… he’s locked in!
@@pjaybdizer6870 C''mon, don't act like you don't know what he means. Ant's definitely has that competitive fire in him, but the comparisons to MJ and Kobe are way too premature. He absolutely has to prove himself worthy of those comparisons. Time will tell.
@@jehushaphat C’mon, don’t act like you don’t know I meant the competitive fire… when Kobe was labeled as next MJ, it was the dawg in him and this was before the 1st ring. In today’s less competitive, over friendly, social media conscious and cry babies NBA, it’s good to see an emerging superstar with the true value and competitive mindset for the game.
We all don't because I don't
Edwards has alot of Jordan in him on court. His mannerisms, competitiveness, arm and hand size…closest thing since Kobe
Hand size???
My Late brothers name is Anthony Edwards and every time I see this guy I just smile love it because he has the Edwards mentality. The name Edwards means " Prosperous Guardian " and he represents it well.
🙄🙄
Peace to your brother, you, and your parents ❤
@MyNameIsUnavailable Thank you appreciate it.
Salute brotha
Ant the future face of the nba
Current 🔥
News flash. The future is now. It’s his League now
@@cheetahcheeto8630he gotta go get it
That would be Victor Wembanya
@@cheetahcheeto8630once he hets it, he will be the face.
Kenny called in cause he doesn’t want to get beaten to the board 😂
He called in a ringer to run for him.
Called out*
Nah I think his knees bent in 0.15 inches.
@@zacharycarroll8607 Called in is correct... you call in sick.
Nah he got called to get Hakeem some water
He reminds me of Eddie Winslow
I’m weak as fuck 😂😂😂
Eddie jones too?
My sister is a 76ers fan I live in Mn and she said to me whose the guy on the Timberwolves that looks like Eddie Winslow
So I wasn’t the only one 🤣🤣🤣
Big KAT is Stefon Ur-kel
Edwards is the fusion of MJ and Kobe.
And d wade
@zhonorebrown wade is inferior to Edwards
Man are you 12 years old? lol 😂 D-Wade was INSANE!!!!
Nah. MJ and Kobe were more polished at an early age. Ant has the athleticism but doesn’t have the full arsenal of moves, finesse, and ability to control the game like MJ and Kobe. That comes with time. He will definitely get there.
I think Ant isn’t stronger than Wade right now, but his athleticism might be better? Ant is only 22 lol, so he’ll get stronger rs. Ant bag is deeper, and shooting is better. Right now I think Wade’s faster but Ant’s more elusive and explosive. Ant is really great at playing at his pace, switching gears, and etc. Ant ceiling right now look much higher than Wade’s ever was, if we not counting the injuries but we’ll see. Ant’s a dawg!! Crazy I’m saying this right now but thank God he’s not 6’6 or 6’7 rs! Luka, Shai, Ant and Tatum are next up. I didn’t mention Jokic, Giannis and Embiid cause them guys are 30….
Wow, Shaq giving Gobert credit is true growth
Shaq is a fair person. He’ll cook you if you’re trash but he’ll shout you out when you do good
@@ebn128unless you're Dwight
@@orlandoshaw9503 these are facts, forgot about that
I remember for a brief moment people thought he hated basketball
Not hate but not his favorite sport just happens to be good
His words was he's not even a basketball fan.
People are dolts. You can love playing 10 things. Yet still having a pecking order 1 through 10 of which ones you love more than the others and yet still give 100% to all 10. So those people were incapable of using basic male logical thinking.
Bro is just naturally talented he probably does other things just as well
@@abelvillarreal5383He was absolutely trolling lol He’s spoke on that. He loves ball
A lot of these players is soft and super friendly. Ant Man has that competitiveness and doesn’t want to be buddies with the league he wants to beat these guys 💯
You gotta respect that mindset he don’t give a fuck who you are he’s there to win Thats winning mentality ✊🏽
I mean we're living in a different time line tho. Everything's comfortable for ppl, and these ball players are millionaires and they're smart now. At the end of day it's just a ball game and it's true. That's why it's so different than what we used to watch, plus social media is always on alert if you were to mess up
@@237doogie6it’s not only that, a lot of these dudes have played each other in AAU circuits or USA youth camps for 10 years by the time they get to the league, they’re all boys with each other way before they even get drafted
So competitive he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month
@@237doogie6 man, get your new age soft ass outta here
Best compliment ever
Conley is underrated as an overall player. That man is disciplined and true to the work it takes to win❤❤
Spurs fan here I haven't watched much of Anthony's game but I know for a fact that this is the best that the Timberwolves have been in 20 years so this definitely could b start of something very special
how fun is the West gonna be for the next decade? and your team is about to be a huge factor when Pop moves the right players around that phenom you have....
why did you have to say that you're a spurs fan? nobody cares. you could have said what you said without saying that.
@@anon-vn7semaybe to show he’s not being biased?
he is wolves 3rd best player this season...so you are probably one of those fans who just watch highlights
Maybe it's too early to call, but I think this is the best Timberwolves team EVER. If they can keep this core together, they have the potential to get multiple rings!
ANT is literally growing and developing during this years playoffs. He is legit becoming a star before our eyes.
He score 15 points last game 😂😂
@@guitarlearningtoplay don’t matter, he’s cooking when it matters. Besides they still won without him
U new to basketball
@@guitarlearningtoplayhe also had two 30 plus point games. Whats your point? His cooking suns 🤷♂️
Cool he isn't Kobe or MJ
Enough with the comparisons, just let that man be Anthony Edwards
No
you clearly don't know how the world or media works lol
@@digitalxdanagreed. That's how they make money.
It’s not even the world of media he literally plays just like them I know u see the defense how he takes it personal and then he actually looks like mj kind of
How about you shut up
He's got that dawg in him ! As a laker fan I'm glad the T wolves got their guy that can get them a ring if not several and he's ready now
He ain’t getting them no rings 😂 he scored 15 last game and the suns suck
@guitarlearningtoplay - Ant is leading all players in the series in scoring, assists and steals You can only play who’s in front you. Phoenix is still much better than New Orleans for example
@@guitarlearningtoplayyou need to watch games, he had a poor scoring night but that guy affected the game with defense and passing
#5 ! He’s the real deal. Been fun watching Edwards kill it this season
he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month
@guitarlearningtoplay - Ants averages went down after KAT got injured. March and April were his lowest averages bc he was playing through a dislocated finger and other injuries. You could have easily looked it up instead of making dumb stuff up
I LOVE vince shouting out Conley! such a good veteran!
I remember Conley in his Ohio State days
@freddiebrock6740 he was a beast!
Yep the assassin gene 🧬 a lost breed
the Antssassin!
He scored 15 last game, he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month
@@guitarlearningtoplay No he hurt his finger towards the end of the season, and it dropped his stats. He should be around 27.
Anthony edwards #1
Not even # 25 he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month
@@guitarlearningtoplayyou crying on every reply now? 😂 There’s more to his game then just scoring.
Shaq's grenade analogy was great. He has really great one liners.
He's an awesome player....both on offense and defense. So good! 🏀👍🏀
Hey we need a bald replacement for kenny! Vince Carter: Hold my 🍺 🤣🤣🤣
That's a Hell of a Compliment!💪💯
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Minnesota vs Boston in the finals later. Because Minnesota is playing better than Denver right now
Bro, we need more Vince on here,dude needs more flowers!,
Literally was just inducted to the hall of fame
He is a mix of those legend
Antman literally playing against a hall of famer and two possible hall of famers and dominating!
KD is old 😂 He scored 15 last game, he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month. 15 points is dominating?
who's the other two possible hof you talking about
@guitarlearningtoplay You were saying! Dude just swept phx!
He reminds me of Dwayne Wade & Vince Carter at times, too. When all your comps are the top tier SG’s, you’re doing something right
He scored 15 last game, he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month. He couldn’t wear their jock shorts 😂
Nothing fazes this dude his heart is just pure cold blooded.
Reminds you of the GOAT, KOBE 💜
I’m just happy Minnesota doing well for once
Minny vs Denver gonna be so dope!
I am a nuggets fan... But the t wolves and Edward's are regulating the NBA with that intensity, skill and humbleness
I see it too chuck, Ant prolly my favorite player in the league now
VC scared me! I wasn’t watching the screen! I’m like who tf is this 😂😂
Scared of what?
Mfs be sleeping chuck insight about basketball is really good
Thats why he my fav player ..
Man that’s heavy praise
damn the timberwolves got a fucking team! towns, conley, edwards, and gubert. thats tough
Ant is the man. Love the dude’s intensity, his ceiling can be sky-high
Vince!!!!! Favorite of all time man. I’m 25 still remember like Mike when bow wow went under your legs
I get the comparisons but I swear I can see people tryna put Edward’s in the goat convo simply because he reminds people of MJ and that’s gonna be annoying.
I don't think anything is wrong with that. LeBron is soon to retire and Ant could have that face of the league attachment to him. He definitely won't shy away from it
that part, when its more than one way to win and be great. I love Magic Johnson and he was a bonafide winner across the board and did it differently than MJ.
He avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month. It’s an. Insane comparison that doesn’t make sense
@@guitarlearningtoplay It's more than just points that matter. He has no weaknesses on offense nor defense. He's a top level passer, shot creator, shooter, clutch performer, rebounder, and lock down defender. That's the comparison
@@guitarlearningtoplay No he got hurt towards the end of the season, he hurt his finger and was playing through it and his stats dropped. Thats why.
Ant is the real deal. no nonsense take no prisoners do whatever it takes to win. he got the jordan gene and mamba mentality.
He scored 15 last game, he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month. He couldn’t wear their jock shorts 😂
There’s a confidence you get from Ant Man that he believes in himself and his teammates. The way he hyped up his teammates before and after a game in press conferences is infectious. Keep it up Ant!
That boy coming!
Im super bummed out Kobe's dead early. If only Kobe's alive, Im seeing ANTMAN studies under Kobe, takes all the moves, and become the legit successor of MJ, and Kobe. FR 1000000%
Chuck low key talking bout Lebron being buddy buddy
Hate him but keep his name in your mouth… I get it you just looking for attention
You highkey got lebrons nuts on your chin
lol relax lebud. I stated what Chuck was indirectly saying. He said a mix of Kobe and Mike and then went on to say he's not buddy buddy, what do u think he was tryna say? Didn't mean to offend the servant and his king.
Tf lebron stay I yo head😂 nobody was think that
Oh he definitely talking about bron and the banana boat boys.
Me too sir Charles
He's a great player, lets see how many chips he gets, this is a team sport
I think we'll look back at the 'buddy buddy' culture of the last few years as an indicator to the end of the 2010s era.
Bro reminds me of tmac tbh like the jumpshot to be specific
Fk outta here. Nibba said T-mac😅 . Nah ant is Jordan's biological son literally
Thanks Chuck, everyone who watched basketball in the 90's feels the nostalgia, Edwards is so quick and explosive as MJ, and his shooting form is also similar, or should i say Airdwards
NO WAY 😂😂😂 He scored 15 last game, he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month
ant shoots from the top of his head, mike was a lil more to the side of his face... plus mike was more accurate from 2
Disagree with Chuck saying KAT shouldn't be shooting 3s. He's one of the best at it in the game. Gobert can't shoot, so KAT always be in the paint, taking that double team.
The Dwade Disrespect is crazy!
He not them fool
9/10 comment
Nobody cares anymore about that dude 😂
@@27jrbenthe facts remain the same no matter how people feel. Dwade was a monstrosity.
@@presidentialkingdom2201 That’s good for him, he ain’t no Kobe or MJ, people don’t care about him like that. And a lot of his former fans/nba fans in general have a hard time respecting or caring about him now. 🤷♂️
anthony edwards has a killer mentality but is like has different kind of killer mentality... like hes doing it as a gen z and i kinda love it honestly
He really does! Dude a beast fr!
Crazy to think Ant is only 22
10 more years of his prime
Quit acting like they stay in college
"Ima take it all and ima love it"... chuck you are wiiiild! Where's cam and mase when you need them? Lolol
This team looks unstoppable
Bruh chucks comments abought him being like jordan/kobe aged like fine wine man he just murdered the suns in the 4th quarter and that dunk at the end was a nail in the coffin no a huge stake in the coffin dude has a killer mentality and hes my favorite player to watch this post season dudes gonna win a ring and mvp maybe not this year but it will happen hes the face of the nba man and hes clutch asf and a killer
He reminds me of Tracy McGrady
No. Just MJ 👍
I can see the Mac comparison because of his ability to shoot the 3 ball and attack the rim.
As a life long T wolves fan of the age 42. Hearing these guys talk about Edwards makes me excited for the years to come. Fun team to watch right now and Minnesota deserves to have this team win
He has that dawg in him like MJ and Kobe, but more like Dwade. He’s 6’4 224lbs.
He plays defense like a young Flash as well, quite a lot of blocks for a 2 guard
He’s like a DWade / Donovan Mitchell hybrid
@@nydibs no. He's literally Jordan's biological son literally 😅
No he's literally Jordan's biological son
@@Mr1Nate7 no he's literally Jordan's biological son
High praise and deserved
VC a teammate with Conley in Memphis, he knew how good Conley was. I'm glad to see VC here giving him the praise.
Anthony Edwards is better than Vince Carter ever was right now and that’s crazy
Dammm
That's Cap 🧢
Vince was trash
You was born in the 2000’s because thats wild
You right, Vince had all the talent and skills that only MJ and Kobe had. But he was never a dog like them. He's too nice, he could've won a couple if he was just a killer
I get a glimpse of why MJ was what he was, he wasn’t the biggest, the tallest, the strongest but god damn he was the best… Ant man shows me a bit of that fr fr
AE - amazing to watch. MJ and Kobe were amazing to watch. That's reason I got into basketball when growing up. For the love of god - never understood what anyone ever saw in Lebron. I watch the game to see how the players play, not because how many points they put on a score board
Like him or not, LeBron was (and still is) an amazing all around player.
Can listen to Shaq and Charles all day. Vince is a plus! Love y'all
I disagree. Kobe and Jordan had way more beautiful booty cheeks than Anthony does.
not the body but the game, edwards take shots that will kill, he makes his defender suffer, thats how superstars take over
Ayooo no Diddy 😐
@@MichaelBergin-rp7kc Diddy definitely has the best cheeks in hip hop. I think Tupac had a nicer hole, though!
Shout out to kobe, the media tries to erase him from history
They shove kobe down our throats its disgusting lol nobody is "erasing" kobe from history 😒
Kobe is overrated
He overrated for real
@@abudabi1995 winning 5 rings, going to the finals 3 times in a row 2 times in different eras in the west and being the most dominant scorer and two way player in the slowest era. Went through 2 rebuilds and won 5 rings 2 rings with literal role players none of which were in the top 75 and a cr’ck head in lamar Odom. But yea, hes overrated because u say so..,
@@AP90x Shaq was the main guy in the 3peat and was the best player in the league but ok? Don’t act like those 08-10 teams weren’t good teams lol when kobe had bums he didn’t make the playoffs. Why was the team rebuilding? Shouldn’t they be constantly be trying to contend if they have the killer instinct mamba mentality god that kobe is?
AE flies through the air with the greatest of ease. He shoots, plays D, and is a good teammate. I hope they make to the Western conference finals and I hope they beat Denver.
Definitely not Kobe Bryant. In terms of style ? A bit of a young MJ. But please, let's not get carried away with those easy comparison...
Yeah I agree. Kobe at Ant’s age was different. Kobe was more polished and studied the game to a molecular level. He was different
He never said style? Are u slow? Did u even listen? Chuck literally and I mean literally said " killer" never said anything about style.
Jesus he's not saying they're the same, he's just saying he reminds him of them.
This man has had ONE GREAT season and now he’s Jordan. Stop it!! can we get some consistency before yall start d-riding with no helmet on
Who do you think kobe and jordan was before they were there pretty sure jordan was getting compared to another hofer like Dr J and kobe was always compared to MJ you can compare young players with greats its always been a thing stop hating and enjoy it
@@nodblus4988 I’m not hating. I know this is a microwave society and yall run to the next hot thing even if it’s for 5 minutes. Nothing wrong with comparison but we didn’t call Stef the greatest shooter ever after his 1st great season. We are just now saying jokic is the best big man ever and he’s been doing what he’s been doing for about five, six years straight.

That's what I'm talking about Anthony Edwards super competitiveness just like Kobe and MJ
Disrespecting ant soo hard with these comparisons. Ant already washes tf outta these guys.
lol you can’t be serious
Bronsexual spotted 😅
Love Anthony Edwards!, But Jordan is GOD!
Everyone said dbooker reminds them as kobe as a man who grew up watching kobe i never saw it in him i think people said it because of his 1st 60 point game but Ant man he reminds me of kobe(heart/mentality) mj(intimidation and always trying to do everything to be great) and dr.j (above the rim play)
It's so refreshing to see a player like Ant do the things he's doing! Fk your opponent destroys them at all cost
broo holy fuck, can we stop with this bullshit.....my god
Please!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Sun fans
Ant is already better. Those 80-90s guys were playing against unhealthy randoms with no proper athletic conditioning.
Stupid narrative
@johndelespina779 nah, he's right. Modern nba players are miles ahead of those bums.
Like the 3 time MVP most athletic man in the game, Jokic 😂😂😂 okay then
I’m a huge Ant fan, but he’s known to not have great conditioning himself.
@@johndelespina779it’s true
Vince Carter a great addition to the desk, love his analysis
Thats exactly what i said, hes the prototypical 6'6 guard exactly like MJ and Kobe. He's DEFINITELY stronger then both of them for being only 22. His mindset is already where it needs to be, rare to see guys who look hungry out there now adays.
He scored 15 last game, he avg less than 26 points 😂😂 and only because KAT was out for over a month. He couldn’t wear their jock shorts 😂
“Chuck keeps talking about his Suns and nuclear weapons. Ernie I haven’t seen a grenade.” 😂😂😂
High praise
He seems to have a real love and passion for the game, on top of the talent.
Literally the next one

I’m happy for Mike Conley! He’s one of those older players I remember watching in the early 2010s. Then you have the Clippers… damn 2014 all star team can’t get it together
