“Michael Jeffrey Jordan you are the father” 😂😂😂 Perk
Perk all about that Hype.
@@TheStrawThatStirsTheDrink Perk actually smart sometimes
Anthony Edwards is a real dog. No dad in his life. Mom and grandma raised him but both died when he was in elementary school. When he got drafted, he was surrounded by photos of his mom and grandma.
He plays the game like it’s his last day of ever getting to play. He has that heart, skill and talent. When you have all 3, you can truly be a generational special player.
MJ a deadbeat.
Yup & the kids that grew up with dads going to be like “so” like they know anything about the struggle 😂
His dad is MJ
@@ModernMafiaGtathey’re gonna be like that because they don’t care. They have their own lives to live. You not having a daddy is a YOU problem and not an excuse especially in today’s society.
@@ModernMafiaGta Boy we don't give a dam about you night having a daddy lol.
Ant just snatched the spot that was set for Ja Morant.
Ja was never likeable though that’s the biggest difference
What is a Ja? I've heard of Temetrius Morant, but I'm not sure who or what a "Ja" is.
Ant didn't snatch it Ja gave it away.🤷🏾
@@brettduncan15 Yeah he was likable in 2022 then he started doing too much 😂
@@datsapaddlin6449 Nah he was never likable. He always came off as a fake tough guy and the whistle he got in the playoffs was crazy
Michael Jordan be tripping with all these unclaimed kids he got!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was 2 seconds away from having to unclaim his biological son.
40 for the 4-0 is poetic
Don’t nobody like this no more it’s at 40
Legacy building
7:53 Matt Ishbia is not the owner of T-Wolves. He’s the new owner of the Suns. Get your facts straight Malika!!!
She's working like 7 days a week for the playoffs, brains are probably scrambled
Who cares though
You could clearly tell what she meant. I’m sure you never misspeak…
The dunk of Ant Man reminds me of MJ's one on Ewing in 1991!🐜🐐
Yeah man, Edwards is everything the media tried to make us believe Booker was..... Wow I'm impressed with him. I fully understand the Kobe MJ comparison now.... He's that good. He has all the basketball skill AND the alpha dog mentality.
He might quickly be my new favorite player in a league which seems to be overrun with Booker types(talented but soft, and always trying to get calls and be a free throw merchant)
Honestly it's the same reason I've never really warmed to LeBron... Something about his personality was "missing" for me... He has all the talent but, yeah
After 1 year 😂 I do believe he's special and will be great but pump the breaks
Not just Booker but also Tatum, Jaylen Brown.
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd ant man is in his 4th season, perfect time to blossom
Lebrons talents are flopping, forming super team, charging, traveling, using peds, stat padding, blaming, crying, self proclaiming and receiving fouls when nobody touches him. Hopefully Ant man never turns into a Lebron type player!
Having your favorite player say you are his favorite player is crazy.
Props to KAT for letting Ant Man be the alpha, and for letting Rudy be the center and for designing his game to be like Naz, all for the benefit of the team!
Letting?...Kat is a cupcake ant took that team where tf was Kat leading them?
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd To the playoffs before he ever played. You forgot those series against Houston it's ok though.
Na he was gonna take being the Alpha he showed signs when he was a rookie
@@ShawnReed-ny1hdKAT has changed his game to allow Ant and Rudy to shine. He’s been phenomenal this season.
😂...Kat got a choice?
Jokic this Jokic that... forget him. Ant is a true superstar he is the heir apparent to take the crown he has the attitude, the swag, the youth. Jokic wasnt this good at 22. Ant is a bona fide star
Ant also doesn't have mvps,finals mvp,a ring,all nbas etc not even a finals appearance
@@ShawnReed-ny1hdthis is ants first postseason 🤣🤣🤣 he's 22 lmfao jokic didnt even make the playoffs until he was 26 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@manfromwuhan5876second postseason, don’t forget Nuggets sent us home last year but we didn’t have Jaden McDaniels and the chemistry we have now.
If Ant would have arrived a few years earlier, Jimmy probably would have considered staying with the Wolves due to Ant's mentality.
You 'arriving' in the nba is NOT easy. Takes about 3 years. Not many jump out the gates shine'n. There's flashes here n there but playoff experience, big shots in big games & consistent winning (while the West is stacked). C'mon man
I told people Ant was the real Deal but people wanted to be on morant wagon an Now Look My Boy only 22 literally Killing everything and front of him😤🐺💙💚
Morant isn’t exciting as Antman he’s not on his level
Ja only have a jump ability. Ant make every play interesting
In just one year, we forgot all about ja morant😂😂😂😂
Who
Ant better then Ja Cmon na Stop it😤🐺💙💚
He did it to himself
don’t worry he’ll be back next season to remind everyone just like he did this year before he got hurt
Ja who ......naaaaah it all about The ant man now
This is what i love to see wolves fans been telling yall btw awooo 🐺
*"Hopefully everybody is feeling the same type of hurt" I think Booker was talking about Beal because he was laughing, having a good ole time on the bench while they were losing game 3 the other day....*
Ant man jumping ability is just on another level, i hope his knees will be able to take it tho on a long run 🙏
Nike executives are 🤢 right now. They signed Ja Morant and Adidas got Anthony Edwards.😅 Who will the NBA choose for Jersey manufacturers after this year?🤔🤯💰💰
AE is really Him. My only knock was some inconsistency from him like game2. But he has the heart of a lion.
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them..
People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable🎉
You are so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few small luxuries relatives to one's total assets ratio.🎉
*Thank you Angela Christine Derle for $60,000👍🏻. There are so many opportunities to make money here on TH-cam but most people don’t know. Thank you for continuing updates I'm favoured, $60,000 every two weeks ! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America*🎉
Sounds good😊How do you do that? I'm interested, how do I go about getting started?🎉
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Angela Christine Derle
man he reminds me of kobe for some reason
Ant Man killing everything in front of him. "Send da video!"
You could never be me I don't br telling nighas business
Ant next to KAT and Gobert swept the team that made the Finals 3 years ago and won 64 from 2 years ago. Ant swept Kevin Durant and Devin Booker who is compared to Kobe. Let that all sink in. Suns were supposed to be a top 3 seed where Minnesota got to be.
This is only the beginning from Ant. He might win a ring in only his 4th season, same as Kobe. DWade won a ring in his 3rd season. Tim Connelly is the GM of the decade. Denver and Minnesota are built big and for the next 5+ years. Developed homegrown superstars.
Pat4Clippers not a peep out of you when it comes to your flippers 🤣 have you finally learned your lesson? Eddie Mush 👴🏻
That's how u snatch the heart out
Ant's cards are about to skyrocket in value
Ant is the rare superstar that dedicate his energy to play on both side of the floor.
At 22 in mid 2007, LeBron went to the Finals. Ant might do the same this year but has a realistic chance winning it all. Nick Wrong going to cry when Ant surpasses his FGOAT.
Pat4Clippers you go from a nuggets fan, to a Knicks fan, to a wolves fan, back to a Clippers fan. 🤣 team hopping since you left the purple and gold 🤣
Lebron was in the weakest era in east history while Edwards is in one of the strongest in West history...big difference.
@@robglobal1 He also has a better team lol. He’s got another all star, a defensive player of the year and the 6th man of the year. Ant is great as well but you gotta notice he has a better team. The Weakest era in the East was probably 2000-2003. The East was winning championships in the late 2000s and going to game 7s in the finals.
@datsapaddlin6449 yes he def has a better team however of you look at the weakest the east has ever been it was far beyond 2003 give or a take a couple years it didn't start getting good again until about 4 years ago.
Using French bravado as a skill set placeholder is crazy lmao
My favorite player
Fax
Ant-Man will be the greatest player of his generation. Write it down. First MJ, Kobe, Anthony Edwards’s
About 2.5 yrs ago I went to a twolves game and saw Micheal Jordan vibes like lightning coming out of Ant. That’s when I knew.
Ja Morant years better dude 😂 heat fan btw
MN IS VERY HAPPY WITH HIM
Anthony Edwards -The Next face of the NBA.
We Knew if ESPN said that. It is official 😊 clearly, it's not Wemby, it's not Luka, it's not Jokic, it's not Chet or even Sga 😅
Jok pass the stats test ant passes the eye test to the casuals/normies watching ball... he just makes it look exciting
turned out it's not jimmy butler, it's ANT
Ant is the future. Unlike a lot of the stars on other teams, Ant actually has a post up game where he can go and maximize all parts of the floor. He can shoot 3s, he can body you and drive to the paint and when he needs to slow things down and let the game come to him. He can post you up and score or find other open team mates.
Yo got the NBA Live 2002 dunks
Funny how things can turn. Last year the Tmbs seemed a bust with them giving too much for Gobert and interpersonal struggles and this year it turned out to be a great investment.
Exactly as Windy said, how good it is for America to have a player who wants to grab the title of best player against international players
Its nice to see them promoting young players and not all those washed up older guys they have to move on
Anthony Edwards is phenomenal 😊
All dat to loose in the second round is crazy
I think the scary thing about Ant is that it seems like he's not even at his peak yet. If he is this good now, how good is he going to be when he reaches his peak?
Facts
Seems like he's not at his peak??? OBVIOUSLY lollll he's nowhere near his peak... he's not even in his prime yet
Lol ant just started beign able to drink legally last year if he stays healthy and keep his noise outta trouble which i think he can the limit is endless
If I could be like Mike
Perk getting mad respect from me. For a long time, nobody on ESPN was giving credit where it’s due except for Perk. Salute to Perk for riding with us.
To all the bandwagons, yall are welcomed too.
Ant Man didn't complete the sweep! The Wolves completed the sweep!
TBH Ant is cool and i'm all for the hype, but JA is still good and LaMelo still good too!! Melo was doing like 30+ points per game before injury.
If LaMelo was on a better team and had the support ant has, then things would be different. Being on the wrong team can ruin talent.
Ja has a good team but they're all injured, lets not forget their skill just bc ANT is shining right now.
Media can really control/influence who y'all support, no offense but victor wembanyama is not him...Hope they stop pushing that narrative.
If your saying LaMelo is better than Ant than stop watching basketball cuz you are wrong in every way. Ant is basically better than Ja now. Ja’s fault that he got into trouble. Ant would be better than LaMelo if you swap them.
You know how many times this year Perk said Suns were a sleeping giant 😂😂😂. There could be a montage of him saying watch out for Suns.
Everybody rushed to that bandwagon. Wilbon, Bill Simmons, Skip and Stephen A. all fell for the hype, until they saw the real team on the court. The fact that so many folks were high on Beal is the crazy part. Beal has played on losing teams most of his NBA career. Suddenly, he was supposed to be Pippen for the Suns...
@espn what do you guys think about a trade proposal that sends kd back to gsw and sends klay and draymond to the suns 🔥 book @ the 1 Beal @ the 2 klay @ the 3
I like that he takes pride in his defense.. and he flies (MJ-like).
his swag reminds me of Kevin Garnett.. I hope fate brings him to Boston hahaha.. I love Ant, this coming from a Celtics fan. Hope to face this team in the finals.
They building him up just to tear him down when that time comes
Yeah, I knew Ant wasn’t getting the attention he deserved, but now it’s kinda overblown. If anything positive comes out of this, maybe the refs start giving him some star treatment
Facts. I can smell a scandal coming. But if we’re talking about on the floor, if they don’t win championships, they start to question his personality which they all love right now (that dawg in him). Hopefully he wins & I think they have a good chance this year.
I hope not. He seems pretty well equipped mentally for any BS though. You can only tear someone down if they let you, Ant doesn’t seem like he’ll pay any mind to that.
KD to the timberwolves next season
Number 5 is the one my favorite player to watch
Malika said (somewhere around 7:52) Mat Ishbia the owners of the "Minnesota Timberwolves" - she meant "owner of the Phoenix Suns".
1:36 “accidentally of course” as if Booker didn’t foul him and forced him out into Finch. I don’t think Booker meant for Finch to be injured, but he was part of it.
The team changed when CAT was not the primary. They finally figured it out.
I can't wait to see Anthony go against Ja.
Stay on that side NONE OVER 12skiiii
Stop it with “the face of the NBA” bs. Can’t tell people tell who it should be. This will either come naturally with winning, … or there is simply no single “face”.
Fr shi cringe
Nah you can see it.. young and a dog. Giannis could’ve been him but he didn’t want to leave Milwaukee
@@loudnink4465 Nobody outside of Minnesota cares about ANT like that. You can respect him and like the highlights, but nobody is looking at him like Kobe or MJ and as the face of the league. They just aren't. Not right now at least.
Bc they don’t watch him play regularly
If the wolves weren’t one of the teams with the least amount of national tv games everyone would have already seen it
@@xMaGuSx888actual basketball fans are paying attention to the growth. You only watch what they feed you. Dude is making a name for himself this is the time to do that and he’s not running from it
As a suns fan it’s just sad 😞
Michael Jeffrey Jordan, you are the father! If Lakers pull the upset vs. Denver, they got Baby Jordan Version 3.0 next. Young DWade was Baby Jordan 2.0 after Harold Miner.
Pat4Clippers take a hike. Eddie Mush 👴🏻
1 series get u to be the face of the nba iam done with the media 😂😂😂😂 the cap is hilarious
We just witnessed a STAR taking The WORLD over the Olympics will do so much more for his stardom
Ant Man has officially arrived
The T wolves coach is coach of the year . Period
Hadn't seen the BB hand slap. Crazy disrespectful.
These women have such a beautiful smile,
No one talking about it, but history repeated again for KD
Brooklyn: lost in semi, swept 1st rd
Suns: lost in semi, swept 1st rd
Minnesota - outside of a couple of Twins’ World Series titles 30-plus years ago - what have they ever won?!
With Anthony Edwards and the T-Wolves mix of talent and cohesion, the fan-base’s wait may finally be ending . . .
The push on Face of the league
Perk is the goat for that comment 😂
I love Ja...But Ant was gonna walk him down eventually.. He's just a better player in my opinion..Ja didnt have to give it away..Ant was gone take it the moment he had players around him
I see the same thing I saw in ja morant ...minus the guns ,,,,talking bout jordan not even d rose yet
Vogal popping up, again, as a "questionable" coach...Sounds familiar...(Hint: Lakers). 🤔🤔
Going from Vogal to Hamm was going from Bad to Worst.
Wemby, Luka, Ant are the future of the NBA.
AD FOR
KLAY N DRAYMOND?
I’m sure Ant man is glad that Ja wants to be a rapper
Anthony is exactly like M Jordan. Everything he does in the basketball game. I believe he watched M Jordan's videos. More is to come and people are comparing Anthony to Jordan
My Favorite player in the league 🫡
Talk about trash KD for getting swept for the 5th time
They treat this man just won a chip, calm down America
22!?
This is the kind of young player you build around. He wants to win. He respects the previous players, but it is his time now, and he is WILLING to take unlike Zion.
The big 3 only works with financial sacrifice. If you don't make such sacrafice it will not work. Garnette, Allen, Pierce, also Wade, Lebron, Bosh they all made financial sacrafices for the extra pieces
Too bad as long as he with adidas, he won’t be the face of the league😭
A. Edwards is a breath of fresh air! He's the real MF DEAL!
It ain’t plays like this there going pass the Denver nugget’s straight to a match up with Boston in June
I wish Jimmy Butler was still there this would be the new bulls ❤
That looked a lot like how Jordan and Kobe took over. I have seen all of them.
Blaming KD for the sweep is completely letting Ishbia off the hook for his poor roster construction , and Beal for not doing his job as a 3rd option. Kd and Booker showed up. The better team won.
KD ABOUT TO JOIN ANT?
Love AE. But the face of the league is Jokic until proven otherwise
If you getting swept you are not no big three (3) to the team that is sweeping you.
I can see Minnesota pushing Denver to 6 games.
You ever thought what if Michael joined adidas this is a new era where everyone is tryna build there own Legacy nike has dropped the ball with ja and ant man shoes is selling out what a time to be alive
I said he was going to be the next MJ even before PAT BEV called it, I hope he stays wolves forever
ESPN hyping up their next poster boy even though he has yet to get to a conference finals or achieve something of real significant value even when other young players like Tatum and Luka had achieved so much more and then some.
Cry more
Trae, Ja , tatum>
She said Wolves owner lol. Smh
