- Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberowlves have been the story of the NBA Playoffs so far. After registering their first series sweep in franchise history when they dispatched the Phoenix Suns in the first round, the Timberwolves have shockingly taken the first two games of their series with the defending champion Denver Nuggets. In the process, Anthony Edwards has emerged as the breakthrough star of the playoffs and now has a golden opportunity to establish himself as the next face of the NBA…

The Curse strikes again lol
as a nuggets fan you should keep making videos complimenting the Timberwolves
wolves already proved they can win against denver in their own home. Everyone has bad game once in awhile. I have wolves winning 4-1.
make a video bout denver please 😏
@@Therealesirit’s going game 7 nuggets ur comment won’t age well lol
@@ChiefssuperfanLast time they did, it was about how the Lakers can’t beat the Nuggets, and then in the next game, Jamal Murray made a shot.
If Ant beats the shit out of both nuggets and Celtics, this would be an S tier/God tier playoff run lmao
Facts. He’d be on of them on the strength of that alone
i wouldn’t be surprised if he beats the celtics, tatum and co are frauds, never get it done
Imagine they sweep the whole playoffs😭
@@donaldhutchison4652 Genuinely not trying to glaze, but if Ant wins this ring, he’ll instantly be on the trajectory of a top 15 player of all time.
Especially with the fact that he'd also beat the shit out of Shai or Luka
Ant>Tatum, I don’t care
Easy.
As a Celtics fan i have to agree
That’s an understatement
Tatum, by far the most overrated player in the NBA
Yes!
ANT just has that IT factor. It’s impossible to measure, see, or put in a statistic, but you know someone has it when you see it.
Players like Luka, Jalen Brunson, and Anthony Edwards. These are some of the players that have that IT factor.
He has it more than the former two you mentioned. Again it’s something that can’t exactly be measured or even fully comprehended for that matter but whenever I watch him he has that air about him that separates him from any one else on that court with him
That alpha leader win by any means necessary not fucking around type of air about him. Good example would be that play in Game 1 vs Denver when he blocked MPJ and KAT dunked it on the other end, camera pans over to him and he literally looks like he’s about to murder with his demeanor. Idk I’m rambling but maybe this is what the old heads seen in Jordan that I didn’t really understand until now
@@monojuice True. I was just mentioning two other examples of the IT factor in the NBA.
Ant has it all - the drive, the winning mentality, the ability to elevate his teammates, his consistency, and his ability to stay healthy despite his physical play - plus he is very charismatic and charming. He absolutely could be tge face of the league if he continually plays this well.
And as a NBA fan, I am thrilled.
I will say that the emergence of Anthony Edwards into a superstar and Victor Wembamyama winning ROTY in the same season probably puts Zion Williamson out of "face of the league" conversations at least for right now; this was Zion's best season so far and he still couldn't make the playoffs. When Ja comes back next season that'll be another player that has currently eclipsed him, Zion will still be an amazing player but currently he's achieving the least out of his contemporaries.
Same for ja. He had it but like guns and strippers more
The future is now
Zion should work on his game more instead of focusing on strippers
Once I found the famous meme “they got KD, but we got Jaden McDaniel.” by Ant Man himself, I knew that he was gonna be my new favorite player lol. Plus it doesn’t hurt that he’s balling out in the playoffs.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes an appearance in the finals
It’s even better, because the quote was only about matchups and having Jaden to defend KD, but now it’s like The Avengers
I really thought next season would be his time to shine but he already destroyed expectations in this exceptional current playoff run. Next season MVP!
Long story short: Ant is him.
My favorite part is him bringing his teammates up with him. Especially KAT and Gobert who have had lots of both fair and unfair criticism against them throughout their careers
FINALLY a wolves centric vid waiting so long for this they aint ready for us
_goatdown has entered the chat_
If theres anything to say about the wolves? Every single win they have you kinda just go "they fukin deserve it" cause holy fuck, playing like a team and giving 110% effort.
They remind me of the 2004 pistons, the rely on numbers, defense and one killer on the floor, but lets agree this killer is an enhanced Billups
The comparison I make is this team answers the "What if the 04 Pistons drafted Wade" hypothetical.
@@johndebono1870nostalgic af😭
I feel like you guys are forgetting the 2006 Heat run with Dwyane Wade
If Ant doesn't want to be compared to MJ he should stop playing like MJ.
The best basketball content on UA-cam
There goes the jinx
You can’t even get Ant’s swingman (white one) jersey online. That’s crazy.
ANT, SGA, Luka. Depending on which country they come from it's all about preference. Example: In Canada, we believe that SGA is the face of Candian Basketball.
And in America, y'all believe that ANT is the face of American Basketball.
I think if Ja wasn't injured that the Grizzlies would be in the playoffs for sure right now. I will say the one "good thing" about Ja's absence is that the Grizzlies will probably get a high draft pick next season and can use that as leverage to get a better piece since the Grizzlies have a good foundation, it just fell off without Ja on the court.
Ja let the guns and strippers get to his head
LUKA did all this accomplishments before ant and no media hype
No media hype????? Luka was and is still hyped so much
What the hell are you talking about
This has to be the only wild take i had in the last year that paid dividends back supremely lol. Im glad i took a chance on the wolves haha
My guys on fire with the content 🔥
Ant is on his D-Wade 2006 Run.
Crazy how they tried so hard not to mention it
i was gonna say the d wade erasure is ridiculous
As a longtime Wolves fan, im just happy the Wolves and Ant are finally getting tbe attention they've deserved all year.
This is something I told a bunch of people a couple of years ago. That the days of "1 or 2 faces of the NBA" is over. The league is so talented with franchise players and talented teams you can't just have 1. There is 6 right now in the playoffs. The given being Ant, Brunson, Luka, SGA, Joker, Tyrese. And there is like 4 not in the playoffs Giannis and Paolo were but got eliminated, we all know wemby is legit, and all jokes aside ja morant is legit too. It's truly an exciting time to be watching basketball that's for sure
Ant man has the coolest nickname. He's short and STRONG like an ant. Ants are powerful, determined, and they trust their team. Not to mention his name.
Ants actually tend to be more of a selfless cog in a machine that does whatever role they were literally born to do until the end; Anthony Edwards strikes me as being a little more than that.
Ant has the chance to establish himself as a top 25 player if he wins a ring and I’m not over exaggerating when I say it.
So confused with this sentence because he’s a top 25 player in the league already lmao but if you think this would make him top 25 all time please delete your account
He's already a top 10 player itl. If you mean top 25 then you're insane. He can be a top 2 shooting guard ever by the time his career is done.
Edwards had 4 great games and somehow that is enough to be the face od the league when Luka had at least 65 great games like that but yeah Americans finnaly had one black American that played a few great games, dunked on some guys and had SWAG doing it and that is why he is the nex face od the leauge. I predict ANT will avrage 26 5 and 5 with some D helped by a great Defensive team and win MVP while Luka will avrage 36point triple double and finnish 4th or 3rd
Anthony Edwards will be a star if he isn't already one now. Anthony can certainly represent the NBA, BUT bro reminds me of someone like Russell Westbrook. TV and commercial personality and trash talker, fits the star definition, but championship #1 option?
Was Russell the face of the league in 2017 when he averaged a triple double, but KD, Steph and Lebron were all in the Finals? Can someone be the face of the league if they aren't?
And I was on record comparing Zion Williamson to Blake Griffin, back when his Spartanburg highlights were blowing up and he was compared to Lebron... and how is that aging now?
Ant is clearly #1 option
He plays a little less recklessly than Westbrook, plus he’s a better shooter.
Ant is crazy - like not even all-nba 1st team this season then becoming insane in the playoffs. Also love your style of like two people but not a podcast - and luka is the real mvp.
Wolves gotta be feelin up, young Michael Jordan fr
I hadn't followed basketball closely for years after D Rose got injured multiple times and Jimmy Butler got traded from the Bulls. It hurt way too much after what could have been.
Then in 2022 I randomly see Ant's dunk over Yuta Watanabe, AS A ROOKIE, and immediately decide I need to follow this guy - he's gonna be something special.
Two years later I'm still a Bulls fan at heart but I've watched almost every Wolves game that I can since then (thanks League Pass). And I'd say I'm a bigger Ant Man fan than I am of any one team. And it feels good 😎
Where do you guys the music in these banger videos? It sounds like retrowave or synthwave
LETS GO WOLVES
Wolves have 8 players in the top 50 for defensive win shares. 5 in the top 20. Gobert at 1, Ant at 4. They're an all-time team, defensively.
I heard people call this team the 2000s pistons but they drafted d wade instead of darko
yessssss! I knew you guys would do a new Timberwolves video! lets gooooo boys.
By the way.... two words.
Naz. Reid.
Finally a Timberwolves video it's about damn time
Nuggets losing tonight, the sweep is coming. The series is over, game 2 is where it ended. Minnesota is gonna be on fire tonight.
and they gave jokic mvp , minnesota for sure got sumn to say bout that 😂
You think so?
I think there's another guy who can also become the face of the nba, SGA. These two dudes have great post feetwork (Shaq would say), they thrive in the mid range, both play defense. And have a little rivalry going on themselves, I'd like to see those two guys face off in the western finals.
While Ant and the Timberwolves is a great thing to talk about, what about a video on the Bucks getting eliminated?
We need to chill about Anthony Edwards. He hasn’t DONE anything. If he wins a championship, we can discuss it, but all I see out of the prospective “face(s) of the league” are guys who haven’t been able to do anything. It’s honestly quite silly, especially when we have a guy who’s 1) young 2) only behind Steph in jersey sales, and 3) has a phenomenal track record in the postseason.
Great, lets not get excited about anything then.
Who does your graphics packages?
There is something special about Ant. Im a die hard suns fan!! But the energy of this man radiates MJ! American Made!
3:30
In every video: But the Blazers don’t have this
Thank you for mentioning this team, I forgot about them all season 😭
I’m a Nuggets fan and obviously ANT killing us hurts but they’re the only team I could stomach losing to. I hate HOW we’re losing though.
You have timelord btw. An All time help defender and defensive big
Not to mention he’s handsome, charismatic, and a leader!!
Here after the Game 3 blowout 💀
here after game 6
@@Chiefssuperfan 😂😂 ya got me…see you after chiefs start 0-2?👀
@@Gerik.75 il see u when chiefs finish 11-6
d wade would be a good comparison for any in terms of a amazing playoff jump
Anthony the Lisan al Gaib who will lead the NBA to paradise
8:35 the first Bo7 sweep in ALL Minnesota sports history, period
Celtics are praying they dont have to deal with that Minnesota defense in the finals
If ant makes a championship run there might have to be comparisons to 2006 wade
I still think the next true face of the NBA ends up being Wemby, but Ant's playoff run has been incredible so far
Everyone was just stunned by that game 2. Not the best game of the playoffs, but it was definitely the most shocking for me.
Welp there goes the wolves season, hope they had fun #SyntheticCurse
The Timberwolves beat Denver in game 2 without their best defensive player, that to me says that they could actually upset Dever. And if that happens, you might as well hand Minnesota the championship at that point.
Real ones know that DMills from Numbers On The Board(formerly Through The Wire) called the Wolves rise
Hey that’s not Thanasis in the thumbnail
YESSIR
Luka is only 3 years older but I'll admit as a Mavs fan that ANT makes more sense since Luka is just too quiet and at times awkward when he's not on the court. He gives plain interviews, barely does any advertisements/commercials, and just plays basketball. Jokic is the same, but even he bothers doing commercials with solid acting.
4:55 "But" and shows Kyle Lowry - did him dirty
Minnesota and Denver's altitude are similar
Unpopular opinion Ant run in the playoffs is kind of like 06 D Wade
The new 🐐 of the league
It's funny how you couldn't think of any young athletic guard that led their team to a deep run. It's Dwade. You mentioned his team and everything
If the Timberwolves win it will go well in history with Taylor and arod ownership.
Y'all will make this exact same video but about Wemby in two years and you know it
Minnesota we here stand up 😂😂
He’s next up to be the face of the nba
Honestly ant isn’t no Mj but definitely has flashes of a Jordan type
Give me my Timberwolves vs. Thunder WCF PLEASE
Yall say this about everyone
No we don't only a few players stop lying.
Timberwoles pulled a Roman Reigns and Smashed the nuggets, they gonna Smash everyone!!!!
Now the nuggets beat the shit out of them
@@aguy4823😮
Day 1 of asking for a celtics video
Why’d yall assume okc is beating dallas?
Timberwolves might’ve redeemed themselves for not drafting Curry

Been saying this since his second year
Himthony Edwards
Here we go again. Kermit! Kermit! Kermit! Kermit! Kermit! SMH!
He looks like Mike Tyson
Don’t turn your back on the Wolfpack
Ant already has that "it" factor, he's already a problem that teams have to deal with
Zion and Ja are infuriating to watch as an NBA fan. Just not focused on their profession as NBA players and focused about things that don't matter like baby mama drama with IG models or brandishing guns to show how hard he (Ja) is.
Having been an NBA fan since 1991 and Michael Jordan was the reason why I became a fan of the NBA. Anthony Edwards is my guy. I will support him. I will buy his jersey and cheer for his team.
plus he messed up bo cruz
Bron in 2007, Kobe in 2001, MJ against Boston probably lol
Synthetic Sports if you guys curse my Wolves I stg…..
Ja punching air right now bout to grab the tooly 😂😂😂😂
Mj invent the shrugg? 12:20
Ja could still be the face of the league. But Ant is, undoubtedly, a face of the league
Espn:"but but but Lebron"
LeBron is literally out of the playoffs and his topics are getting more ratings than the entire playoffs😂 Yall trying so hard to force Antman on everyone 😂😂😂
😂😂kfc buckets himself😂😂
Young LeBron?
Yeah young LeBron was way better
love your channel, but really guys, you need to stop putting "like..." in every 2 seconds.
Wiseman has got to be one of the worst draft picks of all time. So many ways the Warriors can use that pick to continue the dynasty to end up with Wiseman
He can't think of another young player that led their team to a championship? So everyone just forgets 06 d Wade
