NBA needs to stop rewarding the as you put it "foul grifting" type players like Shai and Luka. No one wants to see that, its disgusting to watch
Jason’s favorite word is apex
the NBA never needed any single player.
They'll lean on a player if they get popular, but no player is bigger than the league, the league makes the player popular, not the other way around.
I can’t stand watching shai, I respect the hell out of Jokic, Gianni’s isn’t mvp type anymore, LeBron and Steph are old, Wemby’s too young, and Luka, brunson and Mitchell are top notch scorers but ANTHONY EDWARDS IS MUST SEE TV. Just need him to shine more often.
As someone who’s a new basketball fall, the past 2 years…I can absolutely confirm that it’s someone like Ant “must see TV” is what made me a fan! Absolutely! He’s unbelievable to watch. His energy, his enthusiasm. 100%!
Unique analysis. Great hair. Much appreciated.
Ant man for the win!!
If Ant can be more consistent he'd be the face of the league. Sometimes Ant and the Wolves are just disinterested and will lose to a terrible team. They jusy need the cattle prod and they can beat most teams.
You could say this about pretty much any team obviously, but if this Wolves team could all just click together at the same time they're almost impossible to beat. Naz and Donte destroying from 3, Ant and Randle iso/shoot or kick, Rudy crashing the boards and getting lobs. Even Jaden McDaniels can pretty much score 30 any given night. The problem is, outside of Ant there's basically no consistency. If they ever find that, they'll be hard to stop
You know, Jason we really need to take some time to recognize what a great head of lettuce you got, and should be protected at all cost. With that said the wolves really need a consistent point guard that can distribute and take the ball handling pressure off of Ant,and go get a bucket on his own when needed. That would get the wolves over “the hump”
Ant was injured a majority of those losses against .500+ teams
With Ant keeps getting better, I can see him in the Lakers jersey real soon
That's weird. Ant does not spell LeFraud…that clutch cheque bounce this week??
Need that Ant man/Shai rivalry. Need them to guard and go at each other. Just wish antman was on the heat or knicks.
Ant sacrifices bbiq for watch me ability
Ready for this take? The nba was a soap-opera about African American men………. That’s what the nba sold and that’s what the audience bought…. The lighter the league gets……………. You catch my drift! The AAU has socioeconomically closed the InnerCity to NBA pipeline that created the stars of the past! 🤷🏾 amateur basketball is now a middle to upper class sport OR a club sport (international) which is why you see more mixed nba players and more international players……. Follow the money ……. You will find the answer…….. this is why it FEELS like the nba needs antman…… he WISELY turned down the idea of being “the face of the league” cuz he’s seen how the nba sold LeBron, KD, iverson etc……. Like a drama filled soap opera……
Darryn is coming so is Aj and cam boozer
He’ll never get to the level you’re talking about unless he’s in a major market. NY is best, people are tired of the league always “making “ the Lakers. Chicago just doesn’t have it anymore. Yep, gotta be the Knicks.
Ant does not get the calls like other stars dude strong and attack the rack he flying crazy ethical basketball nba needs that
You've been underestimating the Wolves for years.
Picked the Suns. Wolves sweep
Picked the Nuggets Wolves in 7
Picked the Lakers. Wolves in 5
Picked the OLD Warriors. Wolves in 5.
You'll probably pick against them in round 1 again.
I’ve been a wolves fan through the passing on curry days, David khan, Ricky Rubio, Kevin love and early KAT. Imagine how I feel getting to watch ant every day for someone who lives 20 mins from target center and can go watch him anytime I want. Idc that’s he’s not #1 yet, I get the best show when I watch him fly or drop 20 in 10 minutes like I’ve seen him do.
He works so hard. He will become even more unstoppable, don’t worry.
MN just doesn’t play with the effort they need to play at peak defensive potential unless it’s an important game, good opponent or the playoffs.
They will mature and when they do, they will lift the trophy. It’s coming. I see it every other night. When he’s 27 like the other guys that started winning chips, it will be his time.
