I really wish Kobe was here to see this young man put in work! ❤ 😢
Me too! 🔥
Me 3️⃣😤
Kob would love Ant and Ant working out with Kob would be the scariest thing for the league
he’s watching bro 💯
💔💔💔
Anthony Edwards is that dude. A bulldozer with style!
Anthony Edwards is the real deal and I’m glad he’s excelling his game in the playoffs
As someone who doesn't really watch the NBA, ANT is the only player that gets me excited for basketball. Reminds me of how MJ used to make me feel in the 90s.
Anthony edwards is my favorite nba player
I haven’t had a favorite player since Kobe Bean retired. Antman is my new favorite player.
Number 1
Kobe working out with AE would have been awesome. Rip.
😂
RIP Kobe. Would’ve been great to get a Kobe breakdown video on Ant. I think he would’ve loved his mentality
Ant's got Kobe's heart. No doubt Kobe would respect him.👍
He would have made Kobe definitely want to mentor him.
Kobe would’ve loved him
To those saying he isn’t a superstar you need to hear this man talk his shit and back it up. He is an alpha in a world full of betas that’s why he reminds everyone of Kobe and MJ
But he hasn’t gotten a ring yet or mvp or any huge accolade……yall need to a relax
@Not____Applicable yea but it took them awhile....and to me know one compares to jordan and kobe but ant man has all the skills to be next up and it won't take much to pass lebron maybe like 2 more good games😂😂😂
LOL, Edward's hadn't won a playoff series until yesterday LOL, hahahahah wtf us wrong with ppl now, comparing Edward's to kobe of mj with 6 rings is hilarious
@@Not____Applicable Tatum, Luka and SGA are considered top 5-7 players in the NBA but they've never won anything yet? You measure players on skill and talent in the present, once they retire you measure them on accolades. Booker has been in the league 7-8 years and Ant is already just as good if not on the same level as him
@@willthomas7666did you actually watch the game ? He just demolished Kevin Durant this gonna hurt kd legacy bro ant was dunking on him scoring on him telling him to suck it etc it was crazy blocking his shots getting cookies on him I couldn’t believe Durant didn’t turn up and win a game at least
Stephen A was calling Booker “KOBE-esque” 😂
Well
This forced narrative is getting old
If he was like mj, People would be saying he is MJ . , not espn, and all the other shows.
Devin booker without Chris Paul ... 23 win season, 24 win season, 21 win season, 19 win season, 34 win season, lost in second round, down 3-0 in first round.
@@MichaelDeLaRosalol i been saying this and i don’t watch ESPN. Get over it, he the next one.
@@ChicagoBulls23453facts! Sometimes I watch games on Overtime so I don't have to hear commentary and judge what I see for myself.
He’s a phenomenal player and HES YOUNG. LET HIM BE WHO HE IS. DONT DO THIS AND THEN HATE HIM WHEN HE HAS ONE BAD GAME LIKE WITH DEVON OR ZION.
shaddap
I said it his rookie season. I saw his talent, personality and desire get better and win. I knew he had a chance to be the face of the league. He’s heading that direction not just because of the things I listed but also probably the most important quality that so many superstars lack: it factor.
Edwards is putting the league On Notice 🏀💐✅🏀⭐️💐🔥🔥👏🏾
Thank you Anthony Edwards for saving NBA integrity
booker, curry, and kd should retire.
LeBron is the one who needs to retire... The most disgusting NBA player of all time!
On point with that Vince Carter..... Actually heard Vince say he doesn't play the game angry like Jordan....
He wants to take it from those who have it” 😮 ~Stephen A I felt that… dayum
Ant will definitely win a championship if not multiple and he might even do it in Minnesota
He will do whatever he wants in the nba its his league
@@Daveyjdigitalacting like luka giannis jokic and embiid aren’t still in the league
@@jordanakonobilongo3745 Three if them going home Round 1 🤣
@@sribble1 3 of them are also MVP’s whilst the other is averaging damn near a 30 point triple double plus giannis and embiid are injured
@@jordanakonobilongo3745ant aint gonna get much spotlight compared to the others
With him being outspoken and unapologetically himself
You said the same thing about Devon booker 2 years ago “This is the closest thing to kobe Bryant we’ve ever seen” and 4 years ago you said “nobody plays like kobe like this kid”. 😂 cmon now Stephen A
Dbook aint ANT tho.
Imagine thinking Booker is even on the same level as Ant
Scoring wise and he has a similar personality as far as being a silent assassin. Ant's personality is similar to MJ
When people compared Booker to Kobe they meant stylistically. When Ant gets compared to MJ & Kobe it’s, mentality, skill, and overall greatness.
@@5luelight726mainly killer instinct.
The "kill everything" interview took place on the Suns homecourt, that closeout send em to Cancun perfromance took place on the Suns court the next game. Ant just doesnt fear playing playoff games on the road he LOVES it. Denver has no guarantee of a 2-0 start because they have home court in the next round. Minnesota has a legit chance.
I think Minnesota wins the series. They match up well against the Nuggets and have a deeper bench.
@@tonysiouxfan I agree I think its the Wolves.
Finally someone is saying what I've been saying for years if Vince carter would've put in the work he would've been better than all of them
Vince didn't have the mind. It's obvious when he speaks
@@spce956 he speaks like curry , too nice
Like..MJ never retired and Kobe is still here!! The whole package and 3 way player plus Defense! What more can you ask to see?! ITS TIME!
Fav player since wade
Stephen A- how does Edwards remind you of MJ. His frame, his eurostepping to the basket, his dunks remind me more of a young Dwade. Both 6-4, both compact, both have solid midrange. Kobe reminded us of Jordan.
True. ...I think he's all 3
Wild that basketball players are so tall on average we call a man who’s 6’4 ‘compact’ 😂
@@archjones8187It's not just his height when it comes to him being described as compact...it's his build weight and muscles wise.
His block game is definitely Jordanesque. He even uses Jordan's fadeaway and the spin moves to create it. I find it hard to believe someone who would say they don't see ANY of MJ in Ant's game
“they ain’t beating denver 4 straight “👀
My 🐐
D wade in 06 please let’s not forget him
Fax
Wade killed it in the finals that year
05-09 wade was a monster fr
@@jonhenrychris6973Fax or Facts...IJS one of those words has nothing whatsoever to do with anything about anything dealing with Antman being next up.😂😂😂
@@rubenlewis7693 what?
Preach. Best shit Stephen A ever put out. First national media to point out the owner thing correctly and definitively.
Put some respect on it Stephen!
1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. D-Wade
4. Kawhi (lesser degree)
5. Ant Man
I finally agree with you about Glen.
Don’t lose focus on the facts. Anthony Edwards’s game is very much like MJ & Kobe. This man has that “Kill or Shut up”
It’s MJ, KOBE, WADE stop the disrespect. Why do people forget so easily. Compare Edward’s first 3 seasons to Dwayne wades first 3 seasons. What Dwayne Wade did was insane.
Wade
2004- 16.2 ppg regular season
18.0 ppg playoffs (went to the eastern conference semis)
2005- 24.1 ppg regular season
27.4 ppg playoffs (went to the eastern conference finals)
2006-27.2 ppg regular season
28.4 ppg in the playoffs (wins the nba championship, finals MVP, averaged 34.7 ppg)
Anthony Edwards’s first 4 years
2021- 19.3ppg regular season
25.2 playoffs (lose first round)
2022- 21.3ppg regular season
31.6ppg playoffs (lose first round)
2023- 24.6ppg regular season
31.0ppg playoffs (lose in the first round)
I think we need to chill…people made the mistake with James harden trying to compare to Wade. James harden has no chips. He’s a one way player. No defense. He never shows up when it matters the most. Also Dwade never had a three ball and yet averaged just as much as harden. If Wade had a three then we would never compare these guys at all. Yet dwade with no three ball still averaged just as much or even better then harden. Edward’s can be the guy to take the third greatest shooting guard spot…but he has a lot to prove or he could end up being a harden, t-Mac, Iverson, Melo and be a great scorer but never a real champion.
Wade had Shaq During that Finals MVP run.
Ant's playstyle is more MJ/Kobe like. He basically uses the same repertoire.
This is straight facts. And exactly what I'm trying to say. The disrespect to dwade is crazy
Wade blasphemy during the dunk contest takes away everything we know about him lol
A.E is the One
Yo glad to see you doing your own thing 🤙🏽
It’s “Ant” @ Stephen A #Respectfully
90s MJ🐐

When people were calling Booker the next Kobe, anyone with a basketball brain knew that was bullshit. Now Anthony Edwards. He really is next
Didn't Booker just drop 49 on Edward's head the other night?.
@@wiseandstrong3386 Devin Booker ain’t gonna be leading his generation bruh that’s been obvious
@@GeronFletcher And Edward's will be leading his generation? He's not even the best player of his generation Luka is by a mile, Edward's still can be inconsistent from game to game and his regular season was nothing special, I think Booker and Ant are definitely still neck and neck tbh.
@@wiseandstrong3386yes while getting swept
@@K-R-T So? It's a team sport, if someone scores 49 points and their team loses I wouldn't blame them.
Vince is still underrated to me. He has so many game winners in his career to. Such an amazing shooter that he’s not even recognised for.
Vince coulda been the goat if he put in the work. Words from the mamba himself.
I still remember watching nba 2020 lottery live as a wolves fan in college. Just couldn’t believe we got the rights to draft ant 🐜 so lucky we got that pick!
Stephen A needs to have his annual flights scheduled to Minnesota every October and May to see Edwards. Those months have the best weather here... and yes, the Wolves will be playing in May for the next decade with this young man!
"He wants to take it from those that have it". Great line
🔥 as usual!? Sir
💯🐉 your future looking bright Stephen A
"But it aint gonna happen you do know that right" he killed me 😅
Stephen A once convinced me that Ben Simmons was the next GOAT😂
how do we make Benjamin Simmons give all his money back? He did not earn any of it and we fans spent a lot of money trying to watch.
We in MN completely agree. About Alpha Ant and the old greasy owner both.
The D Wade disrespect is crazy
Stephen. A looking chiseled in that high end sweater!
Jordan is watching every damn game. Kobe is up there watching too. This man is next
Kobe is up there watching? Bro get real.
Anthony Edwards is Anthony Edwards… Kobe is Kobe (RIP)… there is no other Kobe…
Better than kobe
@@samgertenYou’ve had too much beer today… lol
He's a looser in fiba world cup 2023 that s the facts.
What he means is that Edward’s has the same ability and hunger to win and be the best in the game as MJ or Kobe.
Give edwards shaq and he would have at least 3 rings too.
love this channel
He is TAKING it from any and every body!
MJ, Kobe, Ant, have this in common. The other players have fear of these guys. The level of respect Ant have of the rest of the NBA is amazing...
Ant has been my favorite player for a few years now and i said he will be the next face of the league...glad to see him getting his props ..but all this hype they doing...they will tear him down in a few years too unfortunately but they do this to everybody
Steven A let’s give it a little bit more time he’s Fun to watch playing the GAME
Anthony Edwards is special man!!
Been a Lebron fan my entire life.... but if ANT's swagger, flow, toughness, charisma is what Jordan had... I swear I get it now... I know Ant isn't Jordan but what Iam saying is I see now why everyone loves Jordan as much as they do. Ant is freaking awesome, and I am a huge fan now.. BOX OFFICE CANT MISS!!!
He has 1 playoff series win in his entire career, Jordan is 6-0 in the finals, yal gotta CHILL.
Just because someone plays with attitude doesn't mean they are better than LeBron, that argument is so ignorant.
What about when LeBron played the Celtics, especially game 6 was that not killer instinct?
What about "What klay say"!? And then coming back 3-1 on gsw. Ant hasn't done SHIT yet, but hey he has attitude😂
@chriscolbert2188 bro I said flo toughness, swagger, Charisma. What does any of those adjectives have to do with winning a playoff series.
@@chriscolbert2188 We don't gotta wait no damn 15 years to compare players. Man, shut up!
Totally get u. he could even be bigger than basketball like how Jordan and Kobe were.
I would normally disagree with Stephen A but he made some great points this time… Anthony Edward has Jordan in his dna
Ants build is certainly identical to MJs and Kobe’s . I’m happy to see a player in todays game to have this type of attitude
I do believe Anthony Edwards is the NEXT star 🌟
…take it easy S.A.M…you should always take it easy on everything.
I love the new SAM. Dont be back like the old SAM sir
Nothing but love from your good fan ❤
Stephen A, Media needs to remember that they have all put the expectations on him so when he fails come with the same energy. Media was hard on Kobe and Bron when they struggled. Be the same.
His draft profiles all questioned his motor, love for the game & desire to win. That's crazy.
No lies told
Man!! THIS DUDE IS HIM!!!!!!!
Why we comparing people to Kobe? I was at Staples when he dropped 81, I was at Stales when he dropped 62 in 3Q on 8 toes with pneumonia. Ant is the real deal he’s got that dawg in him all props to him but pump the breaks on the Mamba comparison.
Fax. Hope gets to the goats level though. The mamba top 1
I agree with you but if gotta pump breaks on The Kobe comparison we NEED to pull the car over and STOP the Jordan comparison. I loved Kobe but as great as he was he wasn't near Jordan either
People compare way too quick nowadays. Give a player like 8-9 before comparisons.
Um but even the Mamba wasn't doing none of that in his first 3 or 4 years. I'm a Laker loving Kobe Bean Bryant fanatic, but The Antman has a nice size jump on Kobe production wise in his first 3 or 4 seasons. And unlike Kobe, a starter from day 1. Facts are facts.
@@brendaarmstrong7944I wouldn't say not near by any means. Even Jordan called Kobe "me with a jumper". Kobe was definitely Jordan 2.0. Even Phil Jackson said they are two of the same. Except Kobe was a little bit more stubborn.
Don’t by pass wade ❤
When he said this about DBook it was obvious he only had the playstyle. Not the mentality or aura. Like Kobe, Ant checks off all three.
AE! Stephen A.
Respectfully, we gotta stop putting MJ and Kobes names to these young players. We projecting what they can be instead of who they are already and then 2-3 yrs down the road when we start looking at em like why you aint at this level? Because there not MJ, Kobe or Lebron. Theyre them. Their own identity, stop tryna remake the past and give shine to the future.
❤
really wish Kob is there to mentor this kid.. them playing 1 on 1 would be the best thing ever.. Ant really got nerfed.. 😥
Anthony Edwards is like the basketball version of Clubber Lang in Rocky 3
I did see the highlights about Edward yes he remind me a bit of the great Jordan and Kobe the only things Anthony needs to work on is be more smooth with the rock and relax more with the rock when scoring!
wolves edwards give me throw back excitement i felt when jordan, kobe, mcrady, carter, penny, grant hill, garnett came to nba special mention jah morant. what happened to james white a free throw slam dunker? jokic is like the feeling when olajuwon+duncan came along 💪😉
The way Steven A commentates makes you want to hear him speak
ANT has the IT factor....he is HIM....whatever era you are from to describe being special....ANT is the man
Don’t forget DWade
When you come into this league you etheir want it or you don't , you ethier want to be a star player/super star player or don't but to come in and not show up thats something intirely different.
I wish we could stop the comparisons 😓 let the dude be himself and stand on his own merits
Anthony Edwards is the next face of NBA.
Man I was sold on Ant being one of the best players in the league in 2-3 years, but idk man, it may be coming sooner. Of course he has to be more consistent for me to compare him to a 22 yo MJ, but he definitely went MJ status in the biggest game of his career 💪🏽
Idk man a 22 yr old mj stats are on par with ants but ant scored more in the reg season and and swept the first round. MJ got swept. MJ is the goat but if you are comparing to MJ at 22 ant has him beat
He's the chosen one.
He said the same thing about Booker.. he will tear down Ant in a few years too.
As a Nuggets fan, the Wolves are making me nervous. Edwards has a different kind of killer mentality. He has the kind of mentality that sets him apart from most of the NBA. Combine that with his skills and you’ve got a guy who can lead a team to a title. There aren’t many players that can be the #1 guy on a championship team. Jokic, Doncic, Tatum, Giannis, LeBron, these guys are #1’s. Curry, Kawhi, KD, they’re not #1’s anymore. Edwards is looking like he can be a #1.
As a Wolves fan I agree, but I know the facts. You have experience, home court, Jokic which is a beast, and concerned about the coaching situation. So nervous go both ways.
Why are people suddenly on Ant THIS offseason. Look up his past playoff numbers. Lol. This is nothing new. Wolves fan here.
Play-in was to keep 23, 30, 35 in the play-offs for ratings. NBA scrambling b/c them geezers are done.
As a basketball player, you can't teach that dog! Either it's in you or or it's not! Hard work, dedication to your job or craft, and the desire to want to great equals Success! Defense, Offense, Growling! =DOG!
There will never truly be another MJ or another Kobe. The game has changed (easier) far too much and players of the past 15 to 20 years have had all the advantages (rest, rules changes to make the game less physical, spacing, freedom of movement, PED usage, etc.) players from the past did not have to make a FAIR comparison. I know Kobe played much of his career with some of these advantages, but it was clear he played an old-school brand of basketball. Comparing ANT to MJ or to Kobe or any current players to ones from past eras is disrespectful to the older players.
Kobe would have taken this kid under his wing. Shame we didnt get to see it but Ant still perfecting the MJ moves already at a young age is scary!
Anthony Edwards is legit! Yea people said that about booker but booker isn’t it. Anthony Edwards is a monster on the court. Mid range deadly, 3pt deadly, defense is legit, and will dunk on anybody. Hoping ja morant gets his stuff together cuz he’s elite as well.
Rule changed. Ant will dominate the league.
I wish Kobe was still alive to mentor this man because fro Kobe was a monster and Anthony Edward’s is the remix
He is ja morant before the handguns 😂
Ant’s mentality is literally that of Jordan
How About Them DAWGS!!!!! Finally we have another UGA player in the league doing big things.
This is good for the US, since foreign players are taking all the spots in recent years and the mvp
Barring injury, in two years, we are probably looking at a Kobe / MJ level type of player due to his ball handing and total variety of game and defense.
MN has a real nice roster and a coach who seem competent.
With the Gobert trade, I thought the ceiling was WCF.
But now, honestly, they have to think championship within the next 3 years.
Also - SA is 100% right that Taylor is pulling out because Edwards is gonna make the franchise worth $5B within a couple years
Idk I see MJ’s tenacity, TMAC’s athleticism and length, and KD’s killer instinct and intensity
I see ur smoking crack cocaine... good job for Edward's winning his first playoff series... now win 6 champ. And 3 peat twice, and you'll be in the convo
Nah, I see MJ athleticism, MJ killer instinct, MJ tenacity and MJ intensity. Even more love and brightness than MJ had though, and a greater passion for learning like Kobe
@@benjaminfischer6022💯🔥
so much more like MJ
KD Killer instinct?? 🤣
Pump the brakes bro but I give you that Ant is by far the best US player under 23
Edwards the best guard in the nba and maybe the best player in the league. This dude is like MJ and Kobe and don’t care who’s in his way. He’s taking no prisoners
He’s not better than ky
“FIRE in BELLY”… that’s the difference!
Ant also wants to “chill” for the all star game
You forgeting dwade is unforgivable
He was the top dawg on the best team throughout the season in the West. None of the experts saw this leap, they all thought it would be another 3-4 years before ANTMAN came into his own. ANT had other plans and he wants it now. That Denver series last season still in his mind, he missed that shot just long.
