get the Shaq man I watched my sons last night that gr when I keep saying that Anthony was a grown ass man you know get to Shaq you said no no when Shaq said he love Anthony Edwards I’m like I’m with you Shaq yeah when I saw him on the on ESPN last night when he said I’m just gonna kill everything in front of me man it reminded me so much of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant they would kill you to win a game it’s not many players in today’s game everybody want to be buddy buddy my Sons man clearly it’s over but I’m shocked they’re down three zip but man Anthony Edwards is letting everybody on notice yeah I’m not going to wait for y’all to give me anything I’m GNA take it all and I love it is this look when you look at that series and Phoenix beat them all three times during the season um is this the case and Minnesota had a great year is Minnesota better than you thought they were or is Phoenix disappointing in this series I personally think Minnesota was as good as advertised but we need to see it in this setting the playoff setting and to make us Believers I you know regular season is a regular season it’s another level in the playoffs you know they don’t call as many fouls so on and so forth but theyve stepped up and I think Mike connley is is a huge catalus for that been there and his ability to put these guys in situations settle them down get them to understand you know the the time and the situation and they’re responding and they feel confident well and also I think that car town to me is the difference he drives me crazy shooting all those streets I have no problem with him shooting a three every now and then but he never takes advantage of his size Advantage he because Rudy is going to be playing the bigger guy most of the time Carl Lon town is gonna have a mismatch every single night and he stands out there and shoot threes I’m like yo man if you would post up number one you get a lot of easy baskets but also you would force them to double you so for me Carls and the towns is a really huge difference but they got that dog lead them but also Ernie you I don’t think you can ever go by the regular season because you don’t know if it was a back-to-back you I know but but like when you look at Indiana Milwaukee you’ve said oh no no they’re they own them and that was based on regular season yeah but that but that’s different I say because Milwaukee is the worst defensive team in the league and Indiana is one of the best offensive teams in the league that’s a matchup nightmare that that’s just like they can’t stop us so that that was a different animal but I don’t think car cuz remember car and towns was out the last time I think they played so what they did during the regular season it it does matter but the Milwaukee uh Indiana thing was just because my Milwaukee is awful defensively and uh Milwaukee just can’t stop anybody this uh the Minnesota size has been such a factor in this series Chuck and you look at I mean Shaq and you look at game three last night plus 22 on the boards plus 20 in the paint plus 11 Second Chance points I’m happy for Rudy he’s been playing well Cat’s been playing well I agree with Chuck but you know cat’s been playing well so we’re not going to nitpick on what he should and shouldn’t do but as far as Phoenix been very very disappointed Chuck always brags about the nuclear weapons I haven’t seen a grenade yet Arnie I haven’t seen it so you know when you have three scores like that at least two of them have to go off especially at home and I haven’t really seen you know sometimes AR you have too much talent and like you you know with Phoenix it’s like ch you shoot Vince you shoot I’m going shoot like it’s no like you like Organization no organization like their roles are not defined when you look at Minnesota they know Anthony is is a go-to guy get him the ball and let him make a play and Cat you know has that second and you got to give cat credit for understanding that now Anthony Edwards is that guy because you know there was a little riff of who’s the guy blah blah blah he now understands Anthony Edwards this is his another sweep opportunity in the west where Denver leads the Lakers 3 nothing and to reference come on you’re supposed to be

Didn’t you say this about Booker and Tatum?
Over Wade, Maxey, Jamal Murray, Harden?
This guy said he is not going to compete in the all star game. He’s not Kobe
Anthony Edwards is turning into what Ja morant was supposed to be. But I think next season Ja coming back with a vengeance$
Edwards is the truth
The Nuggets are going to win
He’s one of the few players that have the killer instinct. Great to see in this soft era
Anthony Edwards is Michael Jordan’s son lmaoo
Yeah Charles, that’s where Michael Jordan likes him. He reminds him of himself definitely the second coming of Michael Jordan.
Except MJ and KB actually had class. Ant still acts like a child.
This is your year AE
Just stop it already. It’s amazing how a helicopter crash can be so beneficial for a career narrative.
Chuck brags about the nuclear weapons i haven't seen a grenade yet 🤣🤣🤣
Bruh, stop. Jordan LED the league in scoring his rookie year. He is not a good comparison for any player.
The last two season, Anthony Edwards is the closest thing I've seen in a long time that reminds me of MJ. simple solid fundamentals and always under control.
Vince Carter!! about time this show gets someone new.
Actually he’s more like Charles Barkley.
Y'all really just going to Keep forcing Anthony Edwards on us. Just wait to see if they at least make it to the Western Finals.
Everyone said dbooker reminds them as kobe as a man who grew up watching kobe i never saw it in him i think people said it because of his 1st 60 point game but Ant man he reminds me of kobe(heart/mentality) mj(intimidation and always trying to do everything to be great) and dr.j (above the rim play)
Anthony Edwards is Anthony Edwards, stop the shit and stupidity, this boy is nothing like Jordan, he will make his legacy and he will be better and they will hate him for that
he def is def da face of the NBA 🙏🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏁🤞🏾💪🏾#5
The setup with rethoric with about Edwards being the next big name is so see through. Lebron is leaving and the NBA likes to have one person as "the face of the league" smh. The NBA is as fake as Wrestling
Vince Carter could've been one of the greatest and terrifying players that has walked the NBA – one of the top 5. He had the greatest athleticism and talent in the world, but he lacked the mamba mentality. If only he had what Anthony Edwards had regarding attitude.
Pump the brakes, Jordan, c mon..half the NBA has Bounce , most people will still take Luka and Jokic over Anthony to start a team, its like comparing Whoopi Goldberg to Heidi Klum.
Edward’s is disrespectful when he taunts. Lude gestures, etc Great player though
Hes the 3rd gen of Mike. Kobe was 2nd. Every moves. The tenacity. Beast
Man the comparisons to tru 🐐s gotta stop! Let the man be “The next Great Player” sheesshhh
He really does! Dude a beast fr!
Ant represent us old heads and make us proud real balling mentality
Here we go with comparing somebody to MJ and Kobe again. When will the mainstream media ever learn? Anthony Edwards is a talented young player but he's NOTHING like MJ and Kobe. Whenever they do this, they set up these player's for FAILURE because they NEVER truly live up to the comparison. They tried it with Lebron…..FAILED, tried it with Devin Booker….FAILED, tried it with Jayson Tatum….FAILED, hyped up Jimmy Butler as MJ's son during the playoffs last season…..FAILED, now Anthony Edwards? Please just let these guys be the best versions of themselves.
We will NEVER see another MJ, Kobe, Bird, Magic, Wilt, Russell, Dr. J, Kareem, Tim Duncan, Hakeem Oljuwan. All those greats are one of a kind. You're just using their name for media hype and to promote the league.
Anthony Edwards is basically the real Jimmy butler and Kawhi Leonard
Oh look, it’s Shaq the mason
maybe future g.o.a.t
They always use Jordan to groom the next generation to market.
If AE wins chips in Sota he will be the face of the league if he already isn’t, and that self anointed king will be relegated to the past, brought up only as a nod to a fond distant memory—like what they do when the names like Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Manu Ginobili are mentioned………………..
Title: Ant
Chuck: Khal-Anthony Town
Chuck playoff basketball is like chess yeah I can post up with Karl but why show all my cards this early if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Do yall see the Eddie Winslow comment in this thread😂😂😂😂😂 go give that man a like lmaooooo Bruh
hes the closest thing to MJ since MJ. Hes insane
Dr. E is really awesome. He is coming into his own.
The Timberwolves will SWEEP THE NUGGETS!
Like… JORDAN!!!!!
Shooting form looks like KD
