Anthony Edwards Is The NBA Playoffs’ ULTIMATE Killer!!
What does leading the Timberwolves to back-to back conference finals say about Ant-Man? I mean, he’s a dog. Woo. He’s a dog. Uh much like underdog. Woo. You know, he loves competition. He loves, you know, he loves this time of the year. Uh you could tell this is something that he he’s been wanting and something that he lives for. Um I’m just excited for him. I mean, at 24 years old, doing what he do. Um, you know, I can’t wait to see him in the next series. Let’s shift over to this side of the couch. Cemetery. Larry has decided to take an impromptu nap here in Gills Arena, presented by Underdog Woop. Smile on his face, dog. Whoop! Dreaming about these Timberwolves. Oh, I thought it was night night. I was not night for some. Night night, [ __ ] It It is for Oh, it’s night night. Welcome to Cancun. Oh [ __ ] We’ve been waiting for it. I didn’t see no nights last night. You see some night nights? No, I a seen no. You see no night nights? No night nights? No. The night night man was in street clothes. Night night man wasn’t there. They took everybody in. Was in street clothes. Batman was on vacation. Steve Kerr. You let Jonathan Kaminga down, man. He could have saved the day. Could have he could have he could have sparked the He could have sparked the energy that gave them what they needed to sustain Steph. so he can come back, but he didn’t use him early on. You you you confided in Pinski. Yeah, Pinsky 28 points in the game. Had the Warriors won this game, they wouldn’t have played again till Sunday. They would had a nice extended break. But that’s a hyper. Oh, you know, he did what he supposed to do. Night night. took everybody in. Sacrificing goats like Tommy Shepherd. He ain’t playing. He ain’t playing. He trying to tell everybody quietly, too. So, I like that. Did let everybody know that he is him for whoever wanted to listen. Told Obama to his face. Oh, is he really him? 23 years old. I think I picked the W. Did I pick the Wolves? Did you pick the Wolves? Just making sure Astradam, let’s shift over to you, Ant-Man. Now, back-to-back Western Conference Finals at only 23 years old. We we named the list of players that he’s defeated to get there in the postseason. swept KD and the Suns last year. Beat Joker in seven, got LeBron and the Lakers this year, Luke as well, and now Steph, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green added to that lift. Steph did play in one game, so he is Ant-Man eligible. I mean, you know, he’s he’s showing that, you know, um, he played in one game. That was nice. I know. Warrior fans been talking too much. Brother, real quick, am I happy? Yes, but not really cuz I would have loved to see Steph be a part of it. has some Kaminga agendas I wanted to push out. But yeah, he’s um I mean he’s showing that he’s getting better, making strides. I mean, if we watch how he was his rookie season versus how he is now, completely different player, right? You can see he does watch film. He works on his game. Um those comments he made about everybody wasn’t skilled back, you know, in the I can see why because he has something a lot of those guys didn’t have. has the athleticism that everyone had. Everyone didn’t have the skills with the athleticism. Either you was very athletic or you didn’t have no athleticism and you was skilled. So for a guy who has very great footwork with athleticism, which is rare, right? You’re talking about when we’re talking about the elite of athleticism, you’re talking about him dro like D. Rosen had great footwork for a guy who had a 40ome inch vertical which usually the athletes just really hang on to their athleticism. So you know he has shown that you know he’s very very um in tuned with this sport at an early age and you know he’s up there with a great group of guys. So the Warriors had a hand in creating this monster that is Ant-Man. Obviously, his pre-draft workouts, realized he wasn’t working hard enough this past summer, being able to work out with Steph during the Olympics, uh, start shooting a lot more threes said, you know, Steph was very instrumental in helping him decide to do that this season and now gets to hit that squad with the gentleman sweep. But Mr. B, when you look at Aman and what he’s been able to accomplish at such a very young age now, like I said, first time in Warrior a Wolves franchise history that they’ve reached the conference finals two straight seasons. Yeah, it’s exciting. Exciting, man. I mean, you know, he’s young. you know, he’s not really trying to be the face of the league, but I mean, he just goes out there, play hard every night. Um, I love his attitude. Um, I love that he doesn’t care. Um, you know, he’s a he’s a people’s person to me kind of, you know, when he does the interview, he come in here with sweats on, hoodie on, you know, look like he’s, you know, he’s like a hooper, like a AU hooper. Um, and um, you know, I just love his his just knowledge for the game and just wanting to keep getting better and, you know, loving to be around the greats and asking the greats questions and things like that. So, I think the game I think, you know, when LeBron and Steph and them leave, I think the game is in good hands still, you know, still got a young Tatum, still got a young Luca, still got a young uh, Anthony Edwards and SGA and things like that. So, um, yeah, I think the, you know, the league is be Yeah, the league will be fine. Well, so Ant-Man loves to work but also loves to work out in the discussion for Face of the League. You can do both. They are not mutually exclusive. You can’t. No, you can’t. Absolutely not. We’re seeing we’re seeing it right now. No, two straight conference finals appearances. That’s why it’s still other That’s why it’s still a uh uh you know, it’s open. What does it call it? Like, you know, like uh it’s still tryyous. Absolutely. Still trying out for having try out. More holes he tries out, the more people they didn’t try out for Face of the League. Thanks. You can’t have them both, brother. You can’t. It’s just narrow it down. Yeah. Narrow it down. Narrow it down. Narrow it down. Pick one. Narrow down, man. They say the gap is closed. Three of them. You got three. Just pick the one you pick the one you like real much. Hang. Hey, look. hang out with her as long as you’re famous, man. The one that can speak very well around white folks. Oh, you got to get the one that like you. The one that like you too. No, she don’t even like No, no. Just some them corporate people got to like her. Larry Bird won three MVPs and he was getting it in. Yeah, they didn’t have that back then. Magic Johnson was getting magic as we know. We didn’t know. Now we know. Magic as we know. We know. I think the girls today think that child support is actually the bag. You goofy. That ain’t the bag. The child support ain’t the bag. As we know, building his empire is the bag. Shout out to the Magic Johnson. Shutting up is the bag. The fear. See, I don’t think they understand the fear is worth more than the public. Cuz once you put in the public, it’s like, okay, okay, whatever it comes with. Like the fear of telling someone is what makes people and that’s just that bag. But put it like this. Every every loaf of bread I get as the the name, you get one slice of bread, right? When you ruin the name, it ruins how many loaves I can get. So as a mother, as the mother of our children, you start talking like I’m the best father in the world. These people are giving me loaves, which is giving you slices to at some point. You got your own loaf. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Supposed to be big me up. The more you make me look bad, it just hurt. I’m the one that’s generating what you’re going to eat off. You can’t say, “I want child support. You throw my name. I don’t got no ends.” You got to think of it like a business. If you are the business, I got to make this business look so great that me and our child is receiving benefits from it. That’s the same as parenting too. You know, you BM should not be bad mouthing you if you don’t [ __ ] with her. Yeah. Like why would you bad [ __ ] with you like that? Like don’t Yeah. But they’re thinking emotional. Yeah. They’re think they’re not thinking like you know they they don’t want to see you happy smiling with some other work. Yeah, but then you’re not going to be happy. You rather cut your nose off to spite your face. Uhhuh. Well, that’s cuz I you like I I got to pay. Listen, I have to legally pay you child support. Correct. Mhm. If you think about child support, the more money I make, the more money you get. Not if I fake. So, a smart woman would say, “Wait a minute. If I fake my death, [ __ ] I’m going to I’m going to make you look like the best person in the world. I need you to get so I’m going to always Oh, he’s the greatest father. He’s the great He’s the great He’s the Your bags go up. I It trickles down. Yeah, but half the time they still want you. But let’s let’s get back to let’s get back to the actual basketball because but that’s all encompassing because that’s the reason that being a face of the NBA will be a little difficult role for him because he has but he has mothers out there that don’t understand the place. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Despite all that that’s you can’t despite all that what I’m saying despite all that winning trumps all of that. No it does not. They don’t care about who won your tr They like the check. I’m talking about for the for the fans. I don’t know. For the fans. Oh no. What is the show? Show me one in today’s game where you can be a bachelor out there with four, five baby mamas that’s talking [ __ ] in the p. I can’t tr as a company me putting a brand on you knowing you don’t have this part of your life under control. How? At any at any given moment, you don’t have this woman can say anything about you that compromises the business. But you don’t have to give them a ring if you’re winning them on the basketball court. But you’re attached to them. You’re attached to them. They feel I just looked at something attachment. We won. We won. I just [ __ ] just got We won. The bigger you get, the more they want to talk. Absolutely. And they hate you already. But now they got it. They got it. You winning. Hey big head. But then you don’t win though either. They don’t they don’t like you lose it. So we both looking like two big ass. We’re not an option in the equation. That’s the part that doesn’t give a [ __ ] about what that’s the part that they they it doesn’t register. But isn’t that part of the growth and maturity you have as a basketball player? A only 23 years old right now. His success on the court, what he’s been able to do last season reaching the Western Conference Finals, obviously losing to the Mavs. this season now in a position to potentially win his first ring in the league at age 23. Me personally, yeah, but that what I’m saying is if you’re only 23, right? You see what company you’re in now? Look at that company. Do they have the same outside problems that you have? And what he’s saying is Steph is the last fa I would consider Steph the the face now that’s going to hand it off to you. Look at his resume. Yeah. Look at he’s Patrick Mahomes. Tom just gave it to Pat. Like here you go Pat. Tom was with Jazelle and marriage. Ron probably the Tom Brady. Tom. Yeah. The Tom Brady. Sure. So look at look at look at Giannis family and family. So what I’m saying is SGA no matter what the relationships is, it’s still a business. Yep. And you have to make business decisions for the future of your brand. There has to be like if she wants 2500, maybe you might have to give a 10. 10 with a gag order. Do not throw my name under the bus for the best. So I’m going to give you 7500 extra just so you can be cool with me. So you can be cool like that. You you it’s a business. You have to invest in yourself. Well, speaking of making good business decisions, uh, back when the Cat Julius Randle trade went down, we had a

Not if I fake my death is crazy work rashad makaveli
I love Ant and I'm rooting for the Wolves, but this narrative that he is killing off these old heads are insane.
Against LAL this year, Ant was mid most of the series (except for 1 great game) and was trash in the close out game. Against GSW, dude was mid G1 which was the only game Curry played in. Last year against Den in the close out G7, Ant was terrible. Against the suns he was good but the Suns teams was trash, everyone knew it.
Stop trying to overhype the guy, this is how haters get made….
That Steph hate is so piss poor.
“Legend killer” with no rings 😂 nba trying hard to make him the face.
Steph haters are LeBron fans. 😂 shits hilarious. NBA gave LeBron all the help in the world, and only got 3 rings. 😂
Talking alot of AntMan, when that TWolves team is stacked. Talk about that
Now mfs wanna Ant didn’t defeat Curry he beat Jimmy and Green yall wanna do that Curry Klay Dray and a great Warriors team beat a Solo LeBron 17 18 Durant beat Bron
As a Wolves fan dont think we should be saying he beat Steph. He definitely wants to play the Warriors with Steph healthy the whole series.
"Jonathan Kuminga and podz could have carried against a fully competent tight 8 man roster 1:55" C'mon
It’s so ironic how those Kobe Crazy 2’s have aged and become such a dope looking shoe over the years, after literally being called hideous when they were first released 😅
What's with the crown smh
Stop using what ifs, warriors lost. Unfortunate that Steph is hurt but point of the matter is they lost. Thats the facts. Maybe next season
I love ANt, he's a dog, but it what games was Any the overwhelmingly best player? The Timberwolves are a great team and the rest of the guys are performing, Randel is the shock player for them, great performances, Ant isn't carrying, it's a team effort.
Is it obvious?
Steph played 13 minutes and the Warriors won that game – on the road. McCants is useless. He knows nothing about basketball.
@7:00 is when Gil starts to PREACH‼️‼️‼️
A lot of yall are missing the point of what Gil is saying about Ant's baby mama situation…
Gil is talking about Ant mans off the court “issues” but didn’t kobe get into some way worse trouble?
And still hasn't won anything. L
The type of women that antman has dealt with is the issue with building him up for business. The older generation of women understood that! But in these women’s minds, being on his hip in public and always being in the camera are better than sitting back quietly getting waaaayy more money! Sad but true!
Steph would’ve destroyed The Wolf’s. He had 13 points early in the game and that’s why warriors won the game. Yea don’t be using Curry part of Warriors Failure
AE the new big dawg on the block and putting all the old dawgs out they misery including 37yr old Steph. He that dude get used to it
They downplay the Wolves so much. Man. People really hate the Timberwolves. It will make those tears taste more salty because those Wolves are winning the Finals. I know they wanted to see Steph Vs LeBron one more time but it's not happening this year
So sick of the Curry fanboys yapping out there it would of been different bs. Steph is 37. He's had a great career but he's on the last leg of his career. The Wolves wanted Steph to play. Ant wanted Steph to play. If Steph had played the Wolves would have targeted him on defense. Steph's offense is based on him running off of screens his teammates set in order to get open. That requires alot of energy. The Wolves would have had Ant running off of picks and screens until they got Steph guarding Ant. Then Ant would of cooked himself some Curry. They wouldn't have let him slide on defense. He would of been forced to use alot of energy on defense so that he would be drained come 4th quarter.
Steph is lucky he didn't have to face what KD, Lebron, Luka and Jokic faced. The Curry fanboys should be grateful he didn't have to face it.
I respext beating who in front of you but this nigga caught a sick Luka and a hurt Steph😂😂😂 this more fufu than Kawhi Toronto ring where the warriors would of easily 3 peated
He ain't playin'.
The game Curry played warriors won right?
How you a killer but the only wins under your belt are dudes 35 plus ?! If everyone was the same age we wouldn’t even be talking why we comparing up coming players to players a year or two close to retirement???? He’s a baby still
Steph didn't play bro… The nap was weak
step played 1 game and they won so he never beat curry 😂😂😂
Why yall act like Kuminga is Good lmaooo. I can tell NOBODY WATCHED WARRIORS GAMES. IDC ABOUT THESE NBA PLAYERS THEY NOT WATCHING THESE GAMES.
Rashad is a horrible watch
Sumbody needs to tell this chump Steph didn’t play but one game and he won that
Tuck yo nba career night night u bum
Steph did not play most of the series , so I would not count Steph , actual I think if he did , GS would have won this series , I agree JK should have been a starter in this matchup
