@@marcelmarshall4240 I mean ig you can just make shit up lol. Anyone who watched more than 3 Wolves playoff games knows your full of shit 🤣 It was very obvious who was the actual no show, and if it was actually Ant they don't even make it out of round 1.
He always gives props to everyone around him... But he also chuckles and gives the media what they want. If you listen; every part of the playoffs he called other players the best in the world and said it was an honor to compete with them.
The Celtics are going to have Tatum defending centers in the post season to completely shut down any chance of teams successfully running pick n rolls for the next decade or so... So he put on some more muscle
That 2008 Spanish team with the Gasol brothers and Rubio would medal in this tournament That Spanish team had 10 NBA players and Rubio was one of the two guys that wasn’t (yet) In the NBA
Love the talent. Love the confidence. Do not love the bravado. Excellence speaks for itself, and bragging, trash talk, etc. tears it down. Even if you can back it up. I've seen Anthony Edwards go both ways. So I hope he fosters his more intelligent classy side as he matures in the league. I think we need a higher standard for character in all professional sports. We teach these kids how to be stronger and run faster and play better, and I think we also need to be teaching them how to be better all around, and also demanding that they demonstrate character to the broader audience in public. So as they get older they can be inspired to exemplify true excellence means much more than a jump shot, a dunk, or a defensive stop. Just one man's opinion.
There is no one that has the all around skills that Ant has. With that being said. We have have better shooters, better rebounds, better passing but that’s spreading it across the board. Ant has it all! Right now he has better all around skills than lebron, Steph and KD!
Holiday its a key player for the first lineup and the team, in fact, the most intelligent player in that team, his way of defense is outrageously well managed, with passes and assists.
He had 1 more point than Steph and 2 more points than Jrue Holiday in just the same amount of playing time. He may or may not be the number 1 option but that's not what USA basketball is about. The fact that he even comes out and has to say this, shows a lack of maturity. To be fair, he was part of that USA Fiba team last year that came in FOURTH place. You would think he would have a little bit of humble left in his veins.
He'll be the 2nd best player. Curry will be the player of the tournament. No other team has an answer for him, and he'll be the focal point of the offense.
I am a world class Embiid hater (playstyle of foul baiting, tries to hurt people), but he should be allowed to play in a country where he is a citizen and spent the last half of his life in. He has no connection to France and never lived there and Cameroon can’t afford the insurance for him to play.
Why do you care? If he's a US citizen and wants to play for USA in the Olympics, he's allowed to do that. Those are the rules of Olympic competition. People just want to hate for the sake of hating.
@@cnelsonlv99 I don't care. Learn to read before hating for the sake of hating. I only pointed out narrator comment that Embiid grew up in USA which is not true.
Tatum is the best American player in the NBA by a pretty big margin at this point So I'm going to go ahead and say Tatum is the #1 option as well as the most versatile defensive player
No, Steph did. But KD wasnt there. And Bron would be next. I would say (judging from watching the actual game) that Ant is a solid 3rd or 4th option. Booker and Tatum were nice too. Like they were the previous Olympics too. Jrue and Bam were also very complimentary (also 2nd Olympics.)
I don’t know why you would want to see Jayson Tatum go in as a starter just for him to brick step back threes for a quarter at a time lol. He doesn’t play smart. Anthony Edwards is smart and skilled, looks for good shots. He deserves to start over Jrue Holiday in my opinion. Ant showed me he’s real deal in the playoffs this year.
Man can we pump the breaks just a tad? I was hearing language like this before the T-Wolves series with the Mavs--he was going to lock down Kyrie, score a million points etc etc. Turned out, not so much. Now we're putting him at the top of Team USA on the basis of one exhibition game? He's going to have a great career, but you all need to reign it in.
Not this cycle again: Ant does something amazing People call him the next MJ/Kobe He makes a mistake (still young) People call him overrated/bad People build expectations for him again whenever he does something good Repeat
Embiid is getting exposed. To be honest there are so many players that might not be considered better then him that would probably contribute way more to the team.
He's getting exposed in the first game this team plays together? Really? I assure you, what will be exposed is your lack of understanding of the game of basketball. Embiid will be a dominant force in these Olympics. He won't need to dominate every game, but certain games he'll be a key to success.
@@xBodiezz Wasn't "posed to be"? I guess you mean supposed to be... so why not? He's a US citizen who wants to play for team USA. He's lived and worked in the US for half of his life. Why shouldn't he be on the team?
No , he was given the green light to show case an up and coming talent ready to take over after the old guard retires . He is a great young prospect , but not the level of a young lebron or Carmelo . But, he has appeal . The NBA needs to find that next face , post lebron . He's being given a tryout to see how much appeal he has . He's potentially a dwayne wade level talent if his career trajectory continues . Either way , he's a great young player deserving of his day in the sun .
If lebron last name wasn’t James, which reminds these European folks of one of their beloved kings in the early days. He would not been the face of the league. They’re trying to relive their glory days!
In my opinion, no. He just had a great game, he got hot, when everyone else couldn't throw a rock in the ocean, he's in my tip 5 favorite players, but no sir😂
You don't know basketball if you truly think this team is anywhere near the 92" team. you have a 40 yr old a 36 yr old a 35 yr old against a full team in their prime except Larry Bird. Besides this team has way to many load management players on it you trippin bruh. That 92" team would wipe they butts with this team no competition they couldn't bang no where on the floor with that 92" team period.
Yeah, we saw what he was about when Dallas sent them home. LeBron is soon to be forty, is he that good or the new players that weak? And that includes Anthony Edwards.

Seriously, just give the ball to Ant Man and let him destroy the opposition!
How'd that work against the Mavs? He's a great player--but nothing would be worse than him thinking he's the boss and should play hero ball.
