This Ant it: let's end any and all "Next Face Of The League" talk around Anthony Edwards. NOW.

Basketball when MJ made it to the ECF was HARD AF to win in.
Basketball today.. all you have to do is get NEAR a player and they're on the free throw line.

It's obvious you didn't watch MJ play, so you honestly really don't know what you're talking about.
They were KILLING MJ with the fouls. SGA wouldn't have been on the free throw line 80% as much as he is today had he played then.

Stop comparing the GOAT era with this weak era, and PLEASE do your research before you make statements like this.

Yes I watched MJ play. I was born in 1980. Jordan the reason why I became a basketball fan. People like yourself with the nostalgia bullshyt the problem with the game. Oh the east was so hard blah blah. It was the Celtics running shyt, then the pistons, and the sixers had a small window that’s it all teams after was watered. Same way Jordan get celebrated for his 63pt game but NOBODY talks about him missing the game winners in regulation and overtime that would’ve gave the bulls they only win instead of getting swept. I watched that game. It’s ok he missed it happens. But you dudes make every excuse under the sun to protect Jordan he don’t need protection and lies to boost his legacy. Talk bout they were killing him??? Breh STOP the only team that fouled him hard was the pistons and guess what Jordan did? Go to the news paper and said they were trying to hurt him and they dirty. Jordan went on the fukking arsenio hall show and said Bill Lambeer and the crew were dirty and tried to hurt him. After that the nba put the protect order out for MJ. Don’t tell me bout research breh I lived through it.

He’s still young so theoretically the sky is the limit BUT it’s gonna be on him

honestly I think Ant Man is his own worst enemy

not only does he have a low bbiq and not depending on his athleticism so much, and develop more of a mid range and post up dude would be an MVP candidate

second, he said he doesn't want to be the face of the league, I'm not mad at him for that though, Joker would rather play with horses but he has a ring

also, not to sound holier than though, but Ant needs to stop getting women pregnant then basically saying he never wants to deal with the kid, as a man I don't believe in that lame sh1t, I don't care how much money you make, take care of your fukking kids, because nobody asked to be born, this knucklehead never heard of Plan B or no sh1t

so no, for all those reasons Ant will not be the face if the NBA

He’s at that indestructible young age where he thinks he can move mountains and leap buildings, problem is that he’s 5 years in already so hard lessons might be ahead for him.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Mike was getting swept in the first round at the age of 23

No doubt, but to be fair, replace him with any other superstar and the Celtics doin' the same thang to that Bulls roster.

Ant gets props for getting Bron and Luka outta the paint in 5, when it was supposed to be the other way around

 

[feelosofer]

Ant has plenty of time to reach his potential. I just think this years thunder is unstoppable.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

OP needs to log out of his alias and never log back into it again.

 

[JYoung24]

He did beat Luka this year lol

To be fair he has a pretty lousy whistle for a supposed superstar. For some reason the NBA decided Caruso and Lu Dort are the new Joe Dumars and Dennis Rodman. They pretty much molested him on every pick and roll including drives to the hoop. Jordan would have been at the line all game with that type of defense.

Hyperbole at its finest lol. And I'm 43 so I watched that era. Let's not forget 5 brand new teams were added between 88-95. Can't be the goat era based off that alone

 

[FAH1223]

they were saying Ant Man was the second coming of Jordan

Ant has the tools, but you need an insane team built around him like every team.

SGA got an incredible supporting cast and a deep as fukk OKC roster. Ant has to work on his game but can do the same.

If anything what these players-offs have shown is you need a 2nd and 3rd option to win. All the main players have been shut down this post season but the ones still playing have had that 2nd and ideally 3rd options take over and get big W’s. When SGA and Jalen Williams both play bad it’s about to be an L, which it was basically every time.

I mean, Jokic played bad for a stretch of games and they still managed to win a few of those. Those 2nd and really 3rd options are so critical.
