Ant will be top ten after next year mark my wordddds bro
Thank you for the great content… btw comparing Steph and Dame is pointless. Their games couldn’t be more different along with the system they play in. Warriors just in general don’t run pick and rolls so pointless comparison. I am curious to see who are the players you have above dame
I guess Jayson Tatum doesn’t live in North America
No one should disagree with ANT. This dude could become truly unguardable
Anthony Edward's 🐺
New Orleans Hornets😅
Anthony Edwards reminds me of MJ when it comes to his build, on-ball defense, and athleticism. Hes still missing a lot but, he has so many tools to go over the top and become a superstar.
Dame just had a Steph like Offensive season. But his team was ass so its hard to judge. If he does that on a good team like Miami next year he could potentially be in MVP talks.
Got Ant at best SG in the league.
Talk to me about Anthony Edwards in that play in game vs the Lakers.
9:02 “Except for Steph”
For me, Shai is a top 8 player in the world 🏀
Dame underated
Steph and Dame are the same height and Dame weighs 10 more pounds than him. Steph may have longer arms tho.
Dlo just soft and slow. You can’t be slow and non physical
Anthony Edwards over kyrie….this is why Gilbert's podcast is doing so well,they actual played and know hoop.
Shit like this invalidates your other takes.
Top 12 prediction:
1. Jokic
2. Curry
3. Giannis
4. Tatum
5. AD
6. Luka
7. KD
8. LeBron
9. Booker
10. Embiid
11. Butler
12. Kawhi

No time stamps 😢😢😢
Yes Damian Lillard is on the other side of the peak … and being in Portland for all the years, he'll require a couple years to adjust to any team with a fast paced, up tempo offensive system with high end stars (like Jimmy Butler).
Lillard isn't going to be the huge catch he's being hyped to be
Lmao shai better then dame stop it lmao😂😂😂
Hahaha Jokic is "probably" more skilled than Anthony Davis.
I know everyone loves Ant but I think he needs to round out his game a bit more. He’s young af so he gets slack but I think the expectations are pretty high for him.
I’m a firm believer that Trae young is better than Ant but that’s just me I guess
Steph has shown these playoffs to be a level above dame even on the ball from what I saw. His passing reached genius levels and made you wonder if he would be considered an all time passing savant if he wasn't the shooter and off ball player that he is.
Beside playing defense and playing off the ball, another main difference between Dame and Steph is the former relies on foul baiting too much. If you watch Dame's game closely, you'll see that he tries to draw foul on pretty much every offensive play, and more often than not he'll have a mediocre/bad game if the refs' whistling is loose in that game. There's nothing wrong trying to use the whilstle to gain some edges playing in the NBA, but it's going to hurt you if you rely on it too much, just like Harden/Young in playoffs.
I understand the larger point he is making about dame and Steph but Steph plays in a completely different type of offence compared to dame who mainly plays pick and roll while warriors run least amount of iso and pick n roll in the league
