“I ain’t think nothing about it, I’m just happy for the guys who got in. I ain’t even watch it, I knew I wasn’t going to get in. I was more surprised De’Aaron Fox didn’t get in.””
Reporter asks why he thought he wasn’t gonna get in, the 21yo responds:
“I’m just never the one that’s selected for things like that, I feel like I’ve gotta go above and beyond. I will next year so I ain’t trippin.”
Ant credited his “bad” start to the season for why he wasn’t picked.

Still can't get over the fact that Ant is 21 years old. Carries himself like a 30-year-old, 10-year vetpic.twitter.com/r8t5PkF0Aq

Me too
I like his mindset. Instead of crying about it, he’s gonna go get it next year.
Aren’t we all
Great attitude. Ant’s gonna be something special in this league.
Better attitude than Daryl Morey at age 21 😭
24/4/6 on the 3 seed as the Kings are due to break a 16 year long playoff drought and they vote in JJJ and PG over him lmao
He’s had a target on his back the moment he entered the league. I really do wonder why. Great personality, good quotes, besides the gay thing he’s not a PR risk. Why the dislike from his peers.
Post should also mentioned he criticised himself for start off the season slow, and said he knew then he wouldn’t be an all-star
Love this guys mindset. Just go out and hoop and the respect will hopefully come later. He’s gonna use this as fuel to improve even more now
i love anthony edwards
This is what makes him so beloved on this sub, he has the most candid and honest interviews.
I don’t get how people say he’s not good with PR. I love these types of answers and he’s always like this. Brutally honest
He also said that he didn’t think he’d get in because he started the season slow.
Then the reporters asked him about playing every game and he said « yeah I like to play every game. I just love basketball so anytime I can play I’m ready! »

Ant 🤝 Fox. He know what’s up.
**Edit:** He was on [Austin River’s podcast today](https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/2/3/23584817/anthony-edwards-on-all-star-snub-playoffs-favorite-players-to-go-against-minnesota-timberwolves) and he legit sounds shocked and in disbelief.
>”I’m not even worried about me. I ain’t trippin. I started the season off bad. But De’Aaron Fox didn’t make it??! No way. No way he didn’t make it. How did De’Aaron not make it over this other guy? That’s crazy! They the third seed…”
He just kept talking about it. He’s seriously like tf is this
Real recognise real
ANT gonna be a superstar for sure, U can just tell that scoring talent is in him.
Ant is a treasure. I hope he really makes it next year. Kid is so good already.
I love this guy so much
I recently watched Hustle the other day and it’s amazing how different Kermit and Ant are. Complete opposites lmao
Him and Fox deserve it over PG and JJJ.
Load manage so you have less bad games that will be detrimental to your all star selection. Like Paul George who’s missed 30% of their games.
I love his level of accountability…Ant has the intangibles of character and they’re showing
I hope Ant lives up to his potential. He’s refreshingly genuine.
Its crazy both of them didnt get in.. Ant would be entertaining for ASG
Stay healthy and keep balling man. You will make it next year.
This guy says some dumb shit sometimes but sometimes he says some things that make him sound wise beyond his years. This guy needs some true professionals around him to pull out as much potential as they can get
Bo Cruz deserves it more.
Those two wolves kings games last week proved Ant is on the same level as Fox rn.
Both of them head and shoulders above JJJ and PG’s current level of play.
How could anyone dislike this guy
This dude has the best attitude in the league and I love how brutally honest he always is. One of my favourite players right now for sure.
Ant should’ve at least been a reserve he’s been getting better every year. He got robbed plain and simple.
Ant cooked us the two games we just played. Kings vs Wolves. He will get in. I’m still salty Fox didn’t get in. I mean we were one of the worst teams last year. Right now we’re in 3rd place. The main reason is Fox and Sabonis.
