I personally think Ant will be the face of the league mainly because hes a dunking highlight show.
he's also funny and authentic. He's a fun guy to watch
He’s also a horrible person. The only reason he might be the face of the league is him being pushed because he’s American
He also plays similar to MJ
LaMelo is actually 6’7” crazily enough. Huge Dallas/Luka guy, but I ultimately agree with you on Wemby at #1. A sneaky guy I think you could throw into the honorable mentions is Dorian Finney Smith iykyk
haha, ikidk. Explain dfs?
@@whatshorts His energy is there, all time vibes starting 5. He’s really funny, and definitely helped teach Luka a bunch of his English and you can almost tell, not even to mention he was the centerpiece of the Kyrie Irving trade
DFS is like 29 or 30 already lol. And a solid role player that is still light years away from all these prospects mentioned. Absolutely bonkers take bro.
Jerry West has done what Luka is doing with the all nba first teams immediately
dang good call brother!
Luka's accolades are INSANE
also those euro trophies
damn maxey with 9th most jerseys sold...thats actually wild
I thought that was wild too
Honestly the bald Trae look would go hard
Idk, man. I think we're going to find out soon though
Tyrese Maxey is from Dallas, I know because his HS team destroyed my HS team in the Texas playoffs when I was in HS 😭😭
No shame Maxey is a beast
Tyrese Maxey is from the same Dallas suburb as I am, not exactly "country" but I know what you mean, kind of a wholesome Southern vibe doesn't come off as cocky which appeals to some folks (the folks who do not want to see Ant be the face of the league!)
Exactly. He's got that same Kendrick Perkins way of speaking. Texas boys. I love Ant though
Goted youtuber ❤keep going bruh 👍
thank you for the kindness. glad you're diggin the content
Good vid
glad ya liked it :shaka:
0:14 as a Hornets/Lamelo fan, I’m not mad at him not being on the list. There is a lot of great young talent in our league. I think Melo’s a stud and a perineal All Star, but that’s all dependent on his health. So far he’s struggled to stay on the court. Hopefully he solves that problem, and has a long and prosperous career.
agreed. I'd like to see the hornets turn it around.
I’m personally skewing Doncic #1 cause Offense is more sexy than defense and the signature moves, crazy plays, and cerebral play really is appealing.
Similarly he might have a Steph effect where kids start to play more like Luka because of his lack of athleticism due to his game being less about natural gifts(being that it’s more attainable).
Besides he’s already proven to be an MVP caliber player and has godly stats.
Still it’s a toss up imo.
my theory is if it was going to be Luka, it would already be Luka. I see the Steph factor though
Luka has too many false narratives against him
@whatshorts how it already IS Luka.
Been trying to tell my friends that Shai is not a known guy yet despite being a top 5-10 player. Whenever I tell people (who don't watch basketball that much) that he's my favorite player, I always get a "who?"
I know. it's hard to know what makes someone breakthrough. A lot of people don't even know embiid.
His only crime has been playing here in a small market, but the cat is out of the bag after his playoff excellence
Edit- also he’s top 5
I forgot Ja exists…
If you forgot ja, do you remember a man named Lonzo ball?
Watched another vid from DKM regarding the upcoming face of the NBA and he put a lot of emphasis on international players being exempted from this discussion purely because they're not "American." I wonder how much of a factor that is considering we have Embiid, Giannis & Jokic (granted they're older) as the top players in the league but they never felt like the face of the NBA (ofc, Lebron KD & Curry are still competing so that makes sense)
Doncic & Wemby are the 2 players imo that can break that perception. They're too talented not to be marketed across the league and their names alone sell tickets. If we're going with the American narrative, I feel like Ant has the potential to become the face of the NBA. His personality alone and MJ comparisons pretty much align him with that.
I would agree. I think english being a second language is a big obstacle. Might be underlying xenophobia. not to judge, I'm speaking for myself as well.
Trae may have the rare unsalvageable head. His hairline is, in fact, pretty much dusted, but he gets the hair pressed to his forehead. Plus, it's super thin everywhere. So, unfortunately, he may have to embrace looking like a bald 13 year old.
If I was him. I'd try to sneak in a transplant over the offseason. I'd respect the full natalie portman though.
Nobody is over ja on this list man. When he returned he was player of the week and had the league on lock lol. Still a top jersey seller at #11 and played 9 games. Do more research in your videos 🙏🏽
yeah, he'll probably be at the top for next year's list
L take ja corny
i agree with the melo snub. so much potential but shit organization and injuries :(
I've kind of already forgotten about him. it's a shame.
Because of the Spurs strenght, do you think any of these will become a transitional face before Wenbanyama can reach that level?
I would say Luka in the meantime. Who knows when Steph, KD and LeBron will retire though.
Only reason scottie barnes isn't here is cuz of the Canada problem
Scottie was 11
@@whatshorts yeah, bro needs to leave canada to be top 10
@whatshorts scottie is a lot better than trae imo.
How the hell is Tatum not on here, and why is Paolo behind guys who can't ever stay on the court, you also clearly don't factor the American vs non American thing which is significant, here's my list for face of the leauge
1. Wemby
2. Ant
3. Paolo
4. Luka
5. Tatum
6. Maxey
7. Ja Morant
8. Halliburton
9. Alex Sarr
10. Cade Cunningham
Nice list! The list is guys 25 and younger. Tatum and Brunson were too old
How could you not put Jalen Brunson on this list? He’s a bonafide all star playing the biggest market in the NBA. Bro c’mon!!
The list is players 25 and younger. Tatum and brunson would have definitely been on if I made the cutoff 27
@@whatshorts oh okay. I missed that part. Good list then lol
Hes 27...
hes 27
Glazing a guy who has had one good season 😂
Extremely surprised you didn't put Chet over Paulo. Chet is already the costar of the AT&T ad with SGA and according to the "all press is good press" maxim, this is a fantastic start for both of them
Chet is tall, looks good?, will have reasonably good highlight reels, is American and has a rivalry history with Wemby
it's close, but I think being the number one on a team gives a small boost
“What a pro wants”
Chet is a third option on his team. He's hardly a star yet
No, to play like LaMelo you just need to have an imagination of your own and to not be a NPC.
fo sho
Lamelo Ball could be the face of the NBA because he’s cool looking yes and all that. Also his game is so fun to watch, He’s exhilarating! He plays so fluid and free. He has the chance only if he stayed healthy. I hope the spurs send like 3 first for him and bring him over with wemby they would take over the league.
the health is scary. Especially given his brother's history too.
Where’s Jayson Tatum???
On a different list because he's older than 25 ;)
Trae Young should be so much higher is not even funny. And talk about relatable, Dude is 6’0 and cooking
true. I'll remake the list next year.
@@whatshorts w video tho
Cade Cunningham
he was 13 barnes and ball above him
Love the vid but no matter what ja does he’s not above ja
Praise Jah almighty
@@whatshorts I just miss him man😞
It's cuz his last name is "Ball", Lamelo doesn't actually matter. He just has a neutral name.
you know any other lamelos?
When you say tall I’m assuming you mean extra tall for NBA standards
yeah, I meant "freakishly" tall. Like 7 and change.
Sus tittle.....
Always been a sus type a guy
@@whatshorts sussy baka
paolo over scottie? lmfaooo
stop laughing and put yo azzz back on ;)
Like the list but cmon now, scottie barnes not included? Disrespect on the players in canada. If scottie was with any american team this list would be different
He was close. I went with Maxey and haliburton because of jersey sales and all-star votes. what's your list?
Shai is clear better than ant.
for sure. a little older though
No tatum lol...giannis embiid jokic just gone now lol...
players 25 and younger
Man missed a 2 letter word it’s Ja not Jah
Jah no partial
