Ant just put up 43 after this vid too 😂
Facts!!
Sweep
If wemby's in the playoffs right now. Don't act like he'll not make unimaginable stats like he did this season.
@gregyjoebatin2558 He not doing what antman is tho but I like wemby him working on handles with Jamal Crawford gone unlock alot in his game and spacing nba in good hands
@@gregyjoebatin2558if my auntie had a d*** she would be my uncle😂 Wemby at home watching enjoy the show Antman is HERE
Ant is a superstar. And he just put 40+ on the Nuggets. I wanna see that brotha in the championship game. He's must see TV.
All i know is this next generation is going to be epic!!
Yes sir
The rivalries are setting up. Ja and Ant in the west. Melo and Tyrese in the east. Wemby and Chet in the West. Barnes and Bancero in the east. The twins. Miller, Giddy, Maxxy, McDaniels, and we still have big men to incubate plus so many others. Playmaking and shooting and paint domination. The game is going to another level.
@@-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..how dare you not mention Jalen Brunson is about to make NY a HOT destination again. Don’t sleep 😴
@@josh7693 lol he look old bro. I draw the line at hart and above being in Zo and Tatum's face era and People younger than hart being in the melo ant face era. these dudes ain't getting the job until luka and tatum are done with it, but i for real thought jalen brunson was the oldest one in this video
@@josh7693 like i'm being reminded of all the dudes who are just now old enough to graduate college. like this is edward's 4th UGA season if this was the 80s. He already unlocked the path to a HOF career.
Bruh ant only 22, he’s gonna be siiiiiiiiick. Hope he stays healthy
I don’t think his games gets any much better. He’s already good…looking at guys like KD, Tatum who were “great” at those ages their games never really changed much. There’s nothing much more he can add at this stage.
@@manoftomorrow5987better shot selction, more understanding of the game as well knowing angles more. His game is going to grow more cerebrally now
@@manoftomorrow5987post game like wade. Better passing off the top of my head. But he’s great right now
He can always extend his 3 and honestly I think when it’s said and done he’s going to go down at one of the best 3pt shooter ever. His mechanics are extremely smooth. Also you can never go wrong with perfecting the left hand. Driving shooting, etc
He is he not injury prone or anything
Ant man over Jayson Tatum
Facts!!💯Tatum ain’t no dawg fr not like Ant😂😂He needs to stop wearing that arm Band like MJ, KOBE & ANT he’s NOT THEM🤷🏾♂️
@@juliuskamara4347man😂 just lightskin
“The Face” of the NBA will always be homegrown.
Yeah cause American kids don’t look up to foreign players.
Ant Man
Because of our energy. We just built different. American Freedman/ADOS
Except luka, jokic not cool enough anc giannas hasn't done much since he won the final. Rn it's luka
yea it needs to be american
Rashad makes this show go keep him
He’s controversial. You either love him or hate him.
He used to annoy me so much that I would stop watching because of his takes but he is starting to grow on me
No he doesn't he is remedial lmao
You just figuring this out?
A beater at the press conference is 🔥🔥🔥 lol
Fresh Endorsement for “ANTMAN”….Fruit Of The Loom Commercials with ANTMAN AS MJ’s Young Son…!!! I can see ANTMAN wearing Georgia Bulldogs practice shorts under his T’Wolves Shorts…The League is in Great Hands
It’s crazy that just a few years ago they were saying it would be Zion or Ja.
Zion blew it Ja gets caught up
@@lyndonfair9850I feel like you have it backwards but it's the same outcome either way.
Ja still the man imagine them two on the same team
Zion eats cheeseburgers at halftime what you mean and JA toying with weapons
@@oldnbaschool Zion got in shape this year.
87-90 Jordan is not human ... INSANE ... out of this world
I watched the old videos and watch the players now. He was truly one of a kind.
Game 1 Denver when he cleared out Kat and went to the post fade straight cash I was like WOW 😳 flash back of mike.....
FYI mike average 28 rookie year
Best basketball podcast ever !!!
No cap , they should go live the same night of the playoff games
Factssss
Wait until Ant man reaches that 2 clap stage... 2 clap gimme the ball stage.. it's over!!
Nah frl
The face of the league is AntMan point blank period. The NBA is a business, they’re world class at marketing and brand strategy and it’s a no brainer to make Anthony Edwards the focal point of the league, he exudes swagger, he’s funny, he’s youthful, he’s not afraid to speak his mind and his media literacy is growing. Add charisma to explosive ability on the court and you have a recipe for global stardom. Wemby is too low key and cerebral to truly take on being the face of the league, he has a personality fit for the Spurs, and a lot of European players just don’t market themselves like that in basketball because Europe is all about soccer. If they’re not ever going to be the biggest stars in their own country it’s hard to see how they can do that in America. Mbappe is the biggest star in Europe along with Haaland and even Ronaldo still. The Messi craze has already subsided in the US.
Snooze
All that text and yet Wemby got 1,5 million more followers than Ant while being a rookie, Wemby is a freak of the nature a living highlight machine the 3rd NBA player with the most interactions on social media this season after Lebron and Curry with over 1 billion of views and likes accumulated he’s the face with no debate.
@@vinsmonkonoa1250 social media interactions don’t exactly mean you’re more marketable than someone else. Ant has embraced being in the limelight and he already has a massive ad campaign with Adidas and he’s more of a household name because he benefits from being homegrown. Wemby hasn’t fully embraced being the face of the league yet, you don’t really see him outside of postgame interviews. I know his ad campaigns are just heating up, the Olympics will help put both guys in more markets. There has never been a foreign born face of the NBA, in recent years we’ve seen more guys rise to superstardom, coinciding with LeBron, KD, Steph aging out of the league.
@@SullyAfgarshe but social media will tell you it's luka. He's way more beloved by the fans, he wins every pole for mvp or even being the best player in the league.
🎯💯
If you ask me, I think Wemby and Ant-man are on a collision course for a rivalry in the west. Maybe OKC gets in there but if the Spurs handle the drafting/trading right for the next 4 years it's definitely those two.
Problem is the league will expand and Minnesota will move to the east
Yea, I think Wemby and Ant are gonna be the next big rivalry in the NBA.
Just like Duncan and Kobe in the 2000s.
OKC has enough draft capital to literally run the league rn
If Ja gets his head straight then add him to the mix too.
This was my favorite character. Hope he stays safe and well
All casual NBA fans need to see this video. The unlocking points you made on ANT and Jason Tatum LeBron and many greats. Truth. Fans on social media be duking players and always ready to trade players during their journey.
He gonna take over the league he keep balling like that
i have been yelling about ants potential since 2020 wolves fans seen it better and as a older nba fan now that helps
Got to admit I thought his shots was fundamentally inconsistent but it doesn't matter because once he gets going no one can stop him
Okay nostradamus
@@ien17casual
Damn he's been in the league 4 years!? 😮4 Years into MJs career he was the one Everybody's radar. Even granny knew who MJ was. And that's was without social media.He'll never be as big as MJ
Yelling is a little intense.
BEST TAKE IN A WHILE GUYS.
KG was the first to do it he said Ant man was like a 84 jordan he was the first to compare him to Jordan at that age
0:49 Steve Nash is not European, he’s Canadian. He probably thought he was German 😂😂😂
Steve Nash was born in South Africa 😅
Nash won only because of affirmative action son!!
@@Zucchiniisdelicious10 that would make him african
Steve Nash nationality is welch which is dutch Irish which is considered European.
same way Giannis is from Greece but he's Nigerian
@@Zucchiniisdelicious10and south africa is in africa 😂
Ant has all the storylines n narrative and AURA with him rn, I don’t think they ever going make a foreign player THE face of the nba
Giannis?? Especially championship szn. He is a face of the league and huge brand
@@LGeezus_face? No he can but he can be 2nd
All Ant just have to do is just be the opposite of Rashad McCants: don't let your extremely inflated ego go to your head and keep working and your natural talent will combine with your hard work.
No comparison to McCAnts. McCant WASN'T NEVER that dude🤷🏾♂️
comparing rashad to anthony is crazy work
Facts
Inflated ego? Is called confidence. It’s a difference between cocky and confident. He’s just as humble as confident too
Why you takin shots??
When MJ says he sees himself in ANT, that says alot to me...MAN! Wolves vs OKC would be KILLER in the WCF!
Ant is Brolly in DBZ.
A true hunked out Saiyan.
definitely need to bring the show to the atl💯🤞🏽
So happy these are the young dudes taking over. The Lebron, harden, Durant and westbrook era was exhausting and soul sucking.
Lowkey Gil got the best supporting cast of any Pod
People who compare anthiny Edwards to MJ have never watched an MJ game frfr. Especially in the 80s.
Their games don’t have to be identical. Even if you just compare their mentality it’s still a similarity. Jordan’s the GOAT, he’s not God.
The people who are comparing him to jordan are older nba or ex nba players who watched jordan play tho so you make no sense.
28 7 and 6 as a rookie. Black Jesus
Magic City liked 👍🏾the show….Y’all Winning!!🎉🎉
Goat.
7:13 naw when Ant reacted to that tech for looking at KCP after that bucket that reaction was the most Jordan reaction if I never seen none before 😂😂😂
Idt you need a time stamp, from watching all of MJ and seeing Antman, antman embodies the attitude, lots of moves,the will to want to play defense and a gratefulness all in one. That all combined has not been seen since MJ. Thats fair to say i think. At this rate who knows we maybe seeing something new entirely but rn, he embodies the spirit of MJ
What makes Ant something different is his willingness to lock down the other teams' best offensive player. It's not very often someone who is that offensively gifted is just as dangerous on the defensive side of the ball! He looks like he may become an all timer!
Ant is about to put that Jordan vs lebron debate to rest bcs he has that mj in him.
I KNEW McCants was Trolling us early on!! Cuz he been on POINT lately ‼️🛫🥴😂🤣🤣🤣🤌🏾
He did the wave off last night, right before the MJ back down fadeaway. Ant Man is a joy to watch. I hope addidas does him right with his personal shoe designs. All of his shoes need to match his game. They better get it right, becasue Nike is definitely watching. Ant , do you want your own logo?
Antman! He has that MJ aura and his game is attractive to watch. Nobody stops what they’re doing to watch Wemby. Anthony plays beautiful basketball - it’s poetry in motion. Non basketball folks can watch him and appreciate. MJ was the most famous athlete in the world in his day, so will Antman.
Ant man is hooping but to say no one is stopping to watch wemby is crazy 😂 also don’t say his play style isn’t enjoyable or I’ll know you don’t watch ball, two people can be great and have their own accolades & attributes without it tarnishing the other, both are hoopers and have a chance to be the face of the league in their own right.
@@kooley2498 Bro - i've been watching and playing ball since the 80s. Wemby is a giant. You can't tell me watching him is more enjoyable than watching Ant, Steph or Kyrie. Sorry, Wemby is obviously amazing, but you can clearly see in the ratings people don't like that style. Also, big guys can't sell sneakers historically. That's one of many litmus tests for players. I don't mean to tarnish Wemby or the Greek Freak, I'm just saying it's not a pretty style of basketball. I like skill over size.
Stand on your sword is crazy 😂😂
That Sliver Fox reference was everything 😂😂😂😂
5:55 he sure did when he had that fastbreak lay at the end of the game
Made it look TOO EASY!
@14:30, Gils, my pov also!!💯
It’s looking to be ant after LeBron is done. I also can’t believe people think the face of the league is the recent champion or the perceived best player that year. That’s stupid but what do you expect.
when has the face of the league not a winner/champion tho?
@@user-gc1wj8tt2plebron and Jordan both were the face of the nba without rings hell think about it lebron didn’t win til he went to the heat and nobody could dare argue he wasn’t the face. Jordan was getting thrashed by the pistons and was still the NBA’s golden child.
@@vol.2653kobe was the face before lebron. From 2000 to 2010 Kobe was the best player in the nba
@@user-gc1wj8tt2pa few times
@@user-gc1wj8tt2pwhat type of stupid question is this 😂
Anthony Edwards playing in the Fiba world tournament and getting a chance to play for Steve Kerr who played alongside of Michael Jordan was the change that came in Anthony Edwards game 🤔💡 yes Anthony Edwards has the skills to become a all-time great NBA player but he still has to develop but even at this stage in his career he can win it all because he's naturally talented and I've been saying that since he came into the league 🤔💡 that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it 🤔💡
He showed it last night Gil
Jordan had a longer learning curve than both Kobe and Lebron. The high school and college recruitment aggressiveness mechanic
was much greater during Kobe and Lebron. Jordan had no template. He invented this shit. Everyone one else that comes after him
just emulates Jordan.
Factz 💯
No Bron created energy was totally different that’s why he’s the goat and most hated
Glazing tf out of him. Jordan learned from those before him. Every generation learns from the prior generations
@@mr.steellife1795😂😂😂😂😂
@@DariusJones05Jordan took everyone’s skillsets before him and maxed them all out. Jordan was 1 of 1 that’s the reality
We need you to pull up to Atlanta gil
McCants adds so much comedic value.
One thing I love about Ant as he’s growing on me quickly, is no matter how great he played or carried the team he always talks about the teams effort as if they did just as much as him but they matter just as much as him cause with them those 43 pts last night vs Denver is just another 40pt game for him you don’t see to many players praising their teams and coach like he does at his age I honestly thought bro was like 26 lol
9:10 “come up here and train with me, and I stand on your sword n shit” Rashad keeps this shit entertaining😂
Gil said some “Froomalooms” 🤣
Hopefully the NBA self corrects and starts to give some shine to the younger players. I love the game and it's past time. Golf made a huge mistake and fell off big time when Tiger left.
Com on down to the A baby!!!
By the time you are done unlocking everything, you aren't the same athlete
I feel like to be a superstar u gotta be great for a couple of years and not just one
He’s been good since he got picked #1
The tank topthat u wash and it grt tighter😂😂😂😂😂
I love the fact that an Anthony Edward's interview is a quality interview now. When he first came it to the league it was cringe worthy and it was clear he had to mature. I'm glad to see it is starting to come together for him.
Hebrews 13:2 “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.”
Let's not act like Ant doesn't have a great cast around him. Dpoy center, allstar pf, sixth man of the year and a veteran pg
True
Ant has a legitimate chance to get a championship this year at 22, that would be insane if it happens
This man Gil said he didn’t know they still have the ting tops! Lol that boy be naked chested under them shirts lol
Rashad hit us with the pai mei
Ant and Luka is Micheal and bird , wemby can be a modern better Kareem not tryna disrespect but that’s what I be seeing
I'd say Antman look like Grant Hill before the injuries
He looked like vintage Wade
Anthony edwards is my favorite nba player the best basketball player in the world
It's not JUST a comparison related to MJs style of play, but it's a comparison to his skills, attitude and nba charisma.
It’s over 9000!!!!
Wtf is McCants talking about. Ant is 1st 3yrs Jordan right now. He has the same athletic build, long arms, insane bounce, etc... He has all the physical attributes and seems to finally be transitioning into the mindset that this is MY TEAM now. When he got to Minnesota, KAT was the man and Ant now the torch is officially passed. He's becoming mature enough to handle it and understand what mentality it takes to really use his powers efficiently. KAT just needs to be his Pippen.
They were the same age Jordan came in at 22 ant is 22 😊
Can't wait to see a Anthony Edwards (T.Wolves) Vs Wemby (Spurs) West Finals in 2027 or so.
I said a month ago wolves are my pick and ant is the best player. And everyone keeps saying MVP he didn't do this and it's so funny because it's so obvious how much better he is.
And it's not about the face. It's that ant checks every box. Period. Scoring, defense, leadership, media skills, marketing, drive. Everything
"Can you imagine a grown ass Anthony Edwards?" 😂 Well said. He will be a beast
Thank you for the slow down on the MJ comparison it just adds too much pressure
ANT MAN PLAY LIKE HE FROM THE 90S
😂😂 man you sound just like me. I swear Ant is a throwback black American basketball player.
@blackway643 you know gil be hatin on the 90s
🧢
You can’t name no NBA player from the 90s that was hitting pull up 3s off a crossover 😂😂😂😂😂 He remind me of Jordan but Jordan couldn’t shoot the 3 like Ant
@teejaythomas4479 they compare him to jordan an kobe. Jordan ran the 90s an kobe was drafted 96 an is compared to jordan by legends an everyone else. So you can put your cap back on lil homies. You must be born in the 2000s.
Where yall getting Tanks 24pack for $5 😂 I ain’t never seen that
RUN IT BACK! ITS ANT MAN!
He is the young Denovan Mitchell 😎
3 years (HEALTHY) We’ll see him full throttle!
Where the hell mccants shop at? $5 for a 24 pack of beaters???
ANT is blessing Kobe right now
Exactly
DEM FROOT O LOOMS 🤣🤣🤣
Ant the face of the league RIGHT NOW! It changes all the time, even within the season. Ant wasn’t the face of the league at the start of the season, he played and promoted his way into this position! 💯
He from Atlanta we wear tank tops everywhere lol
Shiiiiiid the beaters here in Cali damn near 2 for 18 in a bag
Ant is the Face of The League
Anthony Edwards is Michael Jordan's long lost son? I mean look a picture of MJ in the 1980's, 1990's and then look at a picture of Ant now. The facial features are crazy alike. The year Ant was born Jordan came back out of retirement and was playing on the Washington Wizards in (2001).
People just forget about ja yeah aight “stay on that side “ 👍🏾
Man Ja Morant was supposed to be that dude, but he decided to pull a No Chill Gil. Lol!
Yea he def messed that up
I wanna know where they buying their tank tops
Gil: 12 for $2
Rashad: 24 for $5
Magic City is a good place to host the.next show...ill watch
That’s the zone if you know .
I just love how Gil tone has changed… remember he said players can’t be big stars on small market teams??? This just goes to show that the OLD formula of going to big markets don’t matter anymore. With the movement of social media small market teams can retain and have MEGA stars. Now that the league is moving away from the “Big 3” and going to the “Big 2” help small markets even more. It’s the small market era now.
Ant was a football player and is 22 and just learning
Gil has it. He saw how Ant is rookie season Jordan but way better.
The greats added something to their game each year to maximize their skillset.
How much better yall think Ant will be next year after playing in the olympics? All the things he’s going to learn from all the vets. Competing every day with the best of the best
Why do they always call Steve Nash a euro? He’s Canadian lol
Timeout where they finding a pack of 24 tank tops for 5$ at ?!!?!
