It's obvious that the NBA is pushing Anthony Edwards. Don't get me wrong Antman is a beast but we all know Wemby is a must watch. He's not only gifted he is different. Something we haven't seen in awhile. he's marketable, well spoken, believes in hard work and liked by people of all ages. His jersey was in the top 3 for awhile last year. Maybe I'm missing something
Bruh, Wemby has no chance because he is not American, there is no way the face of the NBA is a non-American, no matter how good he is. TBH i think Cooper Flagg even have a better chance than Wemby sadly
Luka and Jokic finals were some of the most least watched finals in nba history. This idea that if you put a European born player on TV, all of Europe will watch them along with retaining the same American audience is absloute nonsense. Wembyama.... eh.... it's yet to be determined with him. I doubt he'll be as box office as Ant though. Wemby is more of a novelty, while Antman is more showtime. Showtime eventually beats novelty.
Lol it was a wasted 9 minutes for sure. He's the next charismatic American but the faces are the Euro guys. They bring in an audience the NBA didn't have before. Not to mention Luka, Jokic, and Giannis are far better and more accomplished. Out of the up and coming guys it has to be Wemby though, he is mesmerizing to watch. ANT might be the must watch press conferences and interviews but Wemby is the must watch player on court.
Luka literally is the PERFECT Superstar. He’s an alltimer with no ceiling but also Super marketable, Super Popular, relatable personality, shines in big moments, aura, killer mentality, trash talking you name it. he is the Face of the League going into next Season!💯💯

Ant is just overhyped by the media and the league, in an attempt to make an American player as relevant as the actual face(s) of the league that are European.
😂😂😂 The faces of the league remain LeBron James and Steph Curry. They sell the most tickets, the most jersey, generate the most TV viewership, and get the most social media mentions. Ant generates much more attention than any of the Euros. I e., NBA fans care more about him, even though he hasn't even won yet.
@@ZoraDelaney and what do they not? Be the best players, win championship, get into the playoffs even. "The face" needs to play relevant basketball, if they don't, they simply arent. Jokic won 3 out last 4 MVPs, should've won 2023 as well, won FMVP and a chip.
@@ZoraDelaney No wonder Ant generates more attention when every media only talks about him and the league itself is trying its best to make us believe he's more relevant than Jokic or Luka.
Sorry, not a fan of Ant. He's too cocky and comes across as ignorant so many times. And what has he showed up until now? A handful of nothing besides a couple of highlights. I think this season Wemby will begin his era, mark my words.

With how much parity the NBA has nowadays, will there really only be one face of the NBA? Dynasties feel very unlikely now, and it's possible we could see a decade of the stardom shared between several names likes SGA, Ant, Luka, maybe even Flagg or something.
bro...Jokic won 3 of the last four MVPs, came second in 2023 (which was a crime) and won a chip +FMVP. That's all-time greatness right before our eyes. he is THE face of the NBA since 2021 and you just refuse to accept it bc he's a european white boy without athelticism
@@hualchr6697 I said it was possible. Geez, calm down. Jokic can definitely be 'the face' of the NBA, he has the talent for it. Whether the NBA chooses to market him as their face is something else.

What we need is a rivalry to be honest. We could ensure the NBA has a long lasting "face" if it were Anthony Edwards vs Cooper Flagg or something. Wemby vs Chet was spicy too. Rivalries breed views.

Story as old as Joe Biden for long time Spurs fans. We had to be contenders for a championship for the media to talk about us. In the end people want to see a spectacle, not fundamentally sound basketball.

Tadem, booker, ant, giannis, chet, wenby. Personally I'm a firm believer that competitive play makes views. The luka booker beef was and is fun. Chet vs wemby is super fun. Ant being unhinged is fun, but i think it'll be hard to advertise around him. If the nba can keep ppl watching, itll be a strong push when some great drama coupled with good basketball games
OH gimme a break on ant.... the media does this to everyone. in 2018 the media was like: oh look at tatum, so fearless, going at lebron in the conference finals. like wtff??? ant aint even top 10 bro hes not that good!!! sure he made some flashy moves, but he and kat cost the wolves the series against the mavs. LIKE WHAT??? ant hype just gets me annoyed
I don’t think it matters if the face is a guard or not. It’s just about who’s most fun to watch. Wemby/Shaq are just much more fun to watch than jokic/duncan
Based on the evidence the league is showing interest in Haliburton. He took the league by storm early on. People feel in love with him before he got injured.
Devin Booker's image is even cleaner (Tatum has 2 baby mamas, although one of them is a celebrity; Booker none). Booker hasn't won a chip yet though.....
@@ZoraDelaney broo boooker has the kardashian curse i dont kno anything about tatums baby.moms.if jaa stay off the gram and stil got hops for 5 6 more years plays good same energy daawg stay clean him aswell
Tatum is ridiculously boring. He has no personality. Even Jokic is funnier than him. Tatum also does not have the talent to compensate for his lack of personality. Him doing corny things is the nail in the coffin. The only way Tatum could get popular is to say a controversial statement and go the Dennis Rodman path lol
Thinking Basketball has ANT as the #9 best player in the league. He also said if he did not get injured in March where he went on to miss 24 straight threes and hurt his stats, he would have been #7 instead. You are a casual. Next season he is projected to be top 5 when healthy so cry more
Another reason for Ant being the face of the league is because of the rivalry with shai, those two teams are probably gonna play each other a lot in the playoffs, and American fans are going to root for ant to beat Shai who is from canada
4:35 the disrespect on the knicks barely mention yet they have a young core guys like Jalen Brunson becoming city stars and straight up matching Warriors by national games rank.
I’m not sure that the Lakers or Celtics are must watch. The TV schedule makers are stuck in old school ways. The NBA is more player driven. Watching Wemby last season was must watch TV. Watching Steph in his final years as a superstar b4 he regresses is must watch. Ant can be fun to watch at times but must watch… nope I’ll just watch the highlights. He reminds me of Dominique not MJ. The Clippers getting 9 games is laughable. The bucks are mid and no longer are we watching. The nba needs a MJ but there’s not one in the league. This feels like 70’s era hoops. Great players but the the mega super stars are past their prime with little interest in the next crop. Wemby better do huge things or the league is in trouble.
Ja could've been the face, had he played his cards right. He has charisma, a flashy play style, and comes from a "good" two-parent middle-class background. Instead, he chose to go around acting "hood", and messed up his bag. I'm afraid that he's done too much now to change the narrative.....
Unfortunately the Bulls are no longer a national brand, although we're the most loyal fans. IIRC the Bulls have the league's second highest attendance.
The same thing happened when the Big 3 of tennis (Federer, Djokovic, Nadal) were getting old and starting to retire. The "Next Gen" that were supposed to replace them were bland and boring. They couldn't even beat 35+ year old superstars. As a result, tennis dipped in popularity. I could see the same thing happening to the NBA. Steph, Lebron, and KD are probably going to retire sooner than later, and there are no clear frontrunners to replace them as face of the league. Not in the same vein as Magic/Bird/MJ/Kobe/Lebron/Steph. There will probably be an awkward transition phase where there are no truly generational superstars, and popularity in the NBA will dip. That is why Cuban is worried about the next TV deal. We're already seeing it in the insane parity right now. Unfortunately, dynasties get views.
problem this, you talk only about popularity. In terms of skill, LeBron, Curry and KD have long been outmatched by Jokic, Luka, Embiid and Giannis. It's the american fanbase who is holding on to those aging superstars while those who only care about the sport have seen that the transition took place in 2021 when Giannis became the best player in the world, Curry missed the playoffs and LeBron got beaten in the first round (which had never happened before in his career)
MEDIA keeps lying about ANT..he was playing horrible DEFENCE on the PLAY-OFFS but MEDIA was saying he was playing great when all STATS prove that he was a CONE on defence..

They made conference finals, they should have that many games regardless of Ant being the next face of the league.
Under 5 televised games is absurd 😂😂😂
Wemby is in his first season. Why dont you compare Edwards in his first season. What a biased opinion
Exactly
Excellent video.
0:14 Lakers and Celtics aren’t even the top 2 most valuable teams in the league right now lol
Based on the evidence the league is showing interest in Haliburton. He took the league by storm early on. People feel in love with him before he got injured.
I was gonna say it better be Ant Man. Bring ya ass 😂
Wemby can be entertaining man watch him more! That ball toss into the crowd shoulda told you that
edwards: bringyaass😂😂😂
after losing to mavs im tired😂😂😂
The nba should focus on creating massive fans not casuals
Luka and Wembanyama are gonna be the faces of the league
I can see it's Anthony Edwards in the silhouette
It’s Tatum. The league likes a clean image. Tatum is currently the only answer.
same way i feeel
Devin Booker's image is even cleaner (Tatum has 2 baby mamas, although one of them is a celebrity; Booker none). Booker hasn't won a chip yet though.....
@@ZoraDelaney broo boooker has the kardashian curse i dont kno anything about tatums baby.moms.if jaa stay off the gram and stil got hops for 5 6 more years plays good same energy daawg stay clean him aswell
Tatum is ridiculously boring. He has no personality. Even Jokic is funnier than him. Tatum also does not have the talent to compensate for his lack of personality. Him doing corny things is the nail in the coffin. The only way Tatum could get popular is to say a controversial statement and go the Dennis Rodman path lol
Anthony Edwards is not even a top 10 NBA players right now..
Jokic
Luka
Gianni's
Embiid
Shai
Lebron
Curry
Durant
Tatum
Davis
LeBron and Davis out. Booker and Edwards in
Thinking Basketball has ANT as the #9 best player in the league. He also said if he did not get injured in March where he went on to miss 24 straight threes and hurt his stats, he would have been #7 instead. You are a casual. Next season he is projected to be top 5 when healthy so cry more
I think there will be 2. CHET V WEMBY. They will be generational rivals like Magic and Bird
Thanks @aj for not doing gambling ads. I know they pay but they hurt people and are terrible.
Being a hawks fan sucks, we get the #1 overall pick and we still only get two nationally televised games
As a Pistons fan at least you got the #1 pick.... Lol
Ant does have it all and he is definitely the face to casual viewers but Wemby is the face of the league for FANS
Shut your trap spurs fan
Another reason for Ant being the face of the league is because of the rivalry with shai, those two teams are probably gonna play each other a lot in the playoffs, and American fans are going to root for ant to beat Shai who is from canada
Ant new face of the NBA… Kyrie: “I thought he was go'n defend me?”👀
Shame on you for promoting better help
the kings is gonna get some wins this season and surprise yall. sabonis, fox, demar is crazy pressure.
Damn it’s sad to see the teams with 1 or 2 games on national tv 😭
Lets got under 5 minutes! Keep up the good work Casey!
Mark Cuban isn’t an owner anymore
What will the next chosen one have tattooed on his back?
CHOSEN2 😂
Or something else? 😂😂
They should add an "s" to "face". That would solve their issues
4:35 the disrespect on the knicks barely mention yet they have a young core guys like Jalen Brunson becoming city stars and straight up matching Warriors by national games rank.
I’m not sure that the Lakers or Celtics are must watch. The TV schedule makers are stuck in old school ways. The NBA is more player driven. Watching Wemby last season was must watch TV. Watching Steph in his final years as a superstar b4 he regresses is must watch. Ant can be fun to watch at times but must watch… nope I’ll just watch the highlights. He reminds me of Dominique not MJ. The Clippers getting 9 games is laughable. The bucks are mid and no longer are we watching. The nba needs a MJ but there’s not one in the league. This feels like 70’s era hoops. Great players but the the mega super stars are past their prime with little interest in the next crop. Wemby better do huge things or the league is in trouble.
Did mah man just call Morant "LeJa" ?
Everyone really forgot about Ja Morant 😭
He himself made everyone forget about him lol
No, every one knows he carries guns
He screwed up big time, he'll be the national villain in the villain
They will remember soon hush
Ja could've been the face, had he played his cards right. He has charisma, a flashy play style, and comes from a "good" two-parent middle-class background. Instead, he chose to go around acting "hood", and messed up his bag. I'm afraid that he's done too much now to change the narrative.....
The disrespect to Kevin Durant is so insane 🤦🏽♂️
Not naming the Chicago bulls Is crazy
Unfortunately the Bulls are no longer a national brand, although we're the most loyal fans. IIRC the Bulls have the league's second highest attendance.
Who else watched this thinking they were going to see a Wemby video 🤷♂️
The same thing happened when the Big 3 of tennis (Federer, Djokovic, Nadal) were getting old and starting to retire. The "Next Gen" that were supposed to replace them were bland and boring. They couldn't even beat 35+ year old superstars. As a result, tennis dipped in popularity. I could see the same thing happening to the NBA. Steph, Lebron, and KD are probably going to retire sooner than later, and there are no clear frontrunners to replace them as face of the league. Not in the same vein as Magic/Bird/MJ/Kobe/Lebron/Steph. There will probably be an awkward transition phase where there are no truly generational superstars, and popularity in the NBA will dip. That is why Cuban is worried about the next TV deal. We're already seeing it in the insane parity right now. Unfortunately, dynasties get views.
problem this, you talk only about popularity. In terms of skill, LeBron, Curry and KD have long been outmatched by Jokic, Luka, Embiid and Giannis. It's the american fanbase who is holding on to those aging superstars while those who only care about the sport have seen that the transition took place in 2021 when Giannis became the best player in the world, Curry missed the playoffs and LeBron got beaten in the first round (which had never happened before in his career)
I hear Luka rumors to LAL, but I said it Ant and AD, make it happen Mr. Pelinka
Me thinking he was going to say copper flag
Ja morant is coming to take his seat back from ant man
Nah it’s over
MEDIA keeps lying about ANT..he was playing horrible DEFENCE on the PLAY-OFFS but MEDIA was saying he was playing great when all STATS prove that he was a CONE on defence..
Thinking Basketball has ANT as the #9 best player in the league. He also said if he did not get injured in March where he went on to miss 24 straight threes and hurt his stats, he would have been #7 instead. You are a casual. Next season he is projected to be top 5 when healthy so cry more. Also he held his man to 39.8%fg in the playoffs. That was the best in the playoffs
@@kingdinodragonite3470 how can ANT be the 9th best player when he wasnt even the best player on his team ahahhahaha
@@kingdinodragonite3470 projected to be by the same DUMB media that doesnt know a thing about basketball..
I USE FACTS you use MEDIA PROJECTIONS ahahha
I got eyes and i can check stats so i dont need some dumb MEDIA guy that doesnt watch games saying that ANT is great when a EASY QUICK CHECK says he isnt..
@@kingdinodragonite3470 STOP LYING.
KD averaged 27 PPG on 55%FG
BOOKER averaged 27,5 PPG on 50%
MURRAY cooked ANT
SO explain to me how and where did you get that STAT FROM??
OH from the same media who said MURRAY only had 5 points on the 2nd half and couldnt understand the difference from 2nd half and 4th quarter.
@@kingdinodragonite3470 he would be 7th ahahahha boy you cant even check the stats...that TOP Is made by who SAS or k.PERKINS AHAHHA
Tyrese Maxey. Young, classy, humble, likable.
Not enough sizzle and spice. Even nice guy Steph Curry has showmanship on the court (the shimmies, the 3-count, the occasional C-walk, the Night Night celly etc.)
I’d say the next face of the NBA is Jayson Tatum.
I had to like the video when he talked about iverson and Kobe.
