Uhh Jason Tatum 😢😢😢
After 3 or 4 games in playoffs,Ant will be nowhere….to tired at half of the game,and out in 1st round…
Try again,Ant isn,t the guy…
Next.
Absolutely spot on. He's got the it factor, lives in the gym and is as entertaining as any player in the last few years. Crown ant Man
After LeBron retires, imma be the goat
They are desperate for an American to be the face of the league. His baby mama issues are much
Perkins is horrible 😂
Again they're coming with this? 😂
This man Ant doesn’t have a LICK of media training but wants him to represent the league 😂😂😂
Articulate answer by Vic
Ant is still too immature to be the next face of the NBA.
Never! Y'all trying to force the next face but Anthony I can't see. Already has too much going on!!
Stephen a Smith can't just accept that a foreigner is gonna be the face of the NBA 😂
Jokić is the face of the NBA. You just can’t manufacture it. He’s the best player in the world right now, just because Stephen A wants Ant-man doesn’t mean it should be so just because Jokić is European and white. Stephen A would never name him the face of the NBA.
Jesus that guy went nuts for the ANT 😂
Ant gotta sense of humor something what the world and the league need right now
ANT cant be the face when Wemby is better and on the better team.
A Rod needs to step up for once and have a franchise changing trade by getting Irving!
Looks like they already manufacturing this rivalry. Ant vs. Wemby. They even made them jumpball vs each other.
I'm here for all of it.
Wemby is a newer model of Hakeem Olajuwon and Ant Man is the next Kobe comp 😌
I have to agree with Stephen A Smith this time. If Ant man can stay out of trouble, he stands the chance to be the Face of the NBA. Wemby is great and appears to be very disciplined etc. Wemby lacks athleticism, he lacks the swag. Wemby doesn't remind you of MJ, Kobe, LBJ and that is the problem, but Ant man does. To me Wemby reminds us more of Dr. J. etc. So, Ant man stands a Chance. To me the person who will be the face of the NBA is Bronny James. Bronny James needs to keep improving his game, get a better haircut and who knows what could happen 2 years from now.
Cade is the new face of the NBA
KP is a clown… he knows nothing
I only see the major downsides of being the face of the NBA. Nobody wants that.
No
What's worse the fact this man thinks Ant is the face of the NBA or the fact that he thinks Ant is like Jordan.
Jordan averaged 28 as a rookie, won a mvp by and dpoy by his 4th season. Ant is a fantastic player but he is not Jordan
Stephen Xenophobic A hates the fact that it is clearly Victor
Wenby will definitely be the face
Ant Man
There’s no such thing as the face of the NBA. That ended with Magic vs Bird and Jordan.
Tim Duncan and Shaq weren’t even the face of the league.
Guys don’t care for that title because, they know that one misunderstood comment on social media, false allegation from a hater, one injury will destroy it all because, it’s not real. It’s all hype
im sick of yall trying to face the nba
Being the face of the league is all about marketing. Marketing comes with personality and aura. Anthony Edwards is a walking magnet because he's marketable and likable. Wemby is good but he's very private off the court. Hes not as marketable as Ant man.
Luca got the most all star votes why can’t he be the face of the NBA
Ant is definitely the face of the league now
This is irrational…
A pause "No" what got me! Big Perk dont go with the crowd
When Ant and his wolves took out the defending champ nuggets & KD/ Booker suns he was put league on notice
Ant & Wemby have only shown they are the faces of the All star game with the league's true top faces of SGA, Jokic & Giannis not participating.
Victor is boring man
Low key Cade Cunningham will be the next face of the league
Not with his baby mama drama. Don’t need that as a face to follow.
I don’t see how this is chill. LeBron still playing ain’t he,
I am from Minnesota may I remind people ant is one of the reasons Timberwolves made it to the conference finals twice 2 years in a row 2024 2025 and I have no doubt in mind we're going to go to the conference finals again this year that's been our curse we can't make it past the Western conference finals 😞 but good we gone get it 🏆
I would say instead of worrying about the face of the league. You should worry about the product in general. Nobody cares about the face of the league.
