Ant dunked on Collins so hard Collins left with a concussion . . . I have never seen that before. Ridiculous.
Da ts that’s was crazy 😂
He got smacked in the face + poked in the eye, that's how ant dislocated his finger... no one can see that?
Oooor he poked collins n the face so hard smh
It wasn’t a concussion
@@sirwavealot3602 him tryin to block with his face is crazy 😂
they heavily edited his reaction😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol I thought I was bugging 😂
Lmfao they had to bro went 100% authentic 😭😭
Did he really say people don’t remember how good Vince Carter was as a in game dunker , bruh that’s all people remember to the point It
Overshadows how good he was as a ball player
facts
I think people sometimes tend to think more of his Dunk Contest stuff more than his in-game stuff, but man, he had some BEAUTIES in-game too. That dunk on Zo was ludicrous!!
With all credit due, Vince Carter improved his jumpshot and 3pt game later in his career.
The face of the league is wemby
Stephen A Smith has a showdown with Batman after today's show...
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😂😂😂
Lmao 😭
I’m proud to live in Minnesota now 😂
Blake griffin was crazy work too posterizing folks in his prime
Imo he is the best in game dunker
Half of his weren’t even dunks. Nor was THIS. Entire generations of greats called these LAYUPS.
@@only1adonislol ok, then ants dunk vs collins wasn't a dunk too.. I bet you never dunked on a regulated rim ever. Fisher price don't count
@@only1adonisno one cares whether it's a dunk or a throwdown, it's about how cool it looks.
@@KvngSmoochie_ Nah, that would be Vince and I doubt he'll ever be topped since he has the single greatest dunk of all time
Thank you for Realizing this . Anthony Edwards is must see box office. Megastar potential
🔥🔥🔥
Get your popcorn ready 🍿
Ant is great but he won't be the face of the league over Wemby, now that alien is MUST SEE TV.. that kid will dominate the league if they put a team around him
They’re not marketing him like they should be.
@@YungJay216they honestly are rn
Salute to Unc for Shawn Kemp..first name that came to my mind
WHO doesn't realize that Vince Carter was a great in-game dunker?? SAS you're wrong.
SAS loves creating false narratives its so shameless
For real 😂😂😂
The dunk he had on Zo was disgusting
Like, we understand so much that comparing ant to him now is insulting... And I really love ant.
Collins pretending to be hurt in order to hide the shame😂
Pretending to be hurt only adds to the humiliation lol
IDIOCRACY CONFIRMED. PRETENDING to be hurt would make it worse. Collins himself is one of the NBA’s best dunkers. NOT shot blockers. He knows the business. Respect to all blockers/defenders.
@@Onemore984EXACTLY! IDIOCRACY CONFIRMED. PRETENDING to be hurt would make it worse. Collins himself is one of the NBA’s best dunkers. NOT shot blockers. He knows the business. Respect to all blockers/defenders.
Ngl bro I’d do the same thing 😭
Better than getting tea bagged at the rim. Ayo pause.
I think Ant-Man has the charisma, the game, the moxy, the look, AND the cool nickname to be the face of the NBA. He's got it all. Time will tell. Right now he's a top candidate.
Jj hit it when he said "they won at the highest level and are cold blooded killers"
The 1 against Miami when Jimmy Butler was watching from the bench in awh
Watching in AWE (as in AWESOME).. not AWH (what the F are you thinking and which elementary school did you drop out of? IDIOCRACY CONFIRMED. Educate yourself. Zero excuses. Be better.
@@only1adonis calm down we know what he meant
Anthony Edwards vertical is ridiculous.
The offensive foul he got away with was more ridiculous.
Bruh why do ppl still think he was talking about John Collins in regards to giving his jersey to? He was talkin bout Colin Sexton who he grew up with down south playing
Bruh not everyone knows quit bitching
he isn't bitching he is stating a fact. Stop mouth breathing. @@SPACEKNOCKERZ76
that man said he gotta give it to COLLINS , not no dam Colin sexton tf you talkin bout
because he dunked on a guy with the last name collins, dummy
@@chrisstoogoated5777 you’re an idiot, sexton had the jersey in the post game interviews
Dominique Wilkins is in my top 3 in-game dunkers of all time
Whose your other 2?
Vince and MJ definitely there
Gerald Green is always slept on.
@@mirali7488 he was nasty 💯
Jeff Green up there, he been postering ppl from 07-
Shannon said when the cats away the mice will play😂😂😂😂
I heard that too like sheesh!!!
Ya know...the last guy labeled the Human Highlight Reel was a Bulldog also! DGD GO DAWGS!
Russ was a phenomenal in game dunker aswell
Definitely
Pippen dunk over ewing was shameful
That was NASTY!!! animosity at its highest level
That was, but it wasn’t this.
Pippen's dunk was actually a dunk
I seen that live😂😂
@@tonybridgeforth4188True- THIS isn’t THAT… because THIS wasn’t even a dunk. And Collins is one of the league’s best dunkers. Not blockers. Pippen over Ewing was worse. Not just the dunk. But the circumstances.
Don't forget he's 235lbs, strong as an ox! Even if you challenge him, he's got the strength to dunk threw you.
Wow that’s big.
Shawn Kemp was a Dawg
My favorite player growing up lol
Yes sur KEMP!!!! Was a monster !!
Don’t forget about Blake griffin a great in game dunker too
Personality is a huge factor of mindset, work ethic ,and talent also understanding the value of right and wrong.
Can the media stop pushing the whole face of the league thing, I don't think there's gonna a sole individual that's gonna carry that title
Most of the media desperately wants the face of the league to be American. lol
Lebron was for a long time , curry was making his way up and was for a bit . It’s now Jokic and guys like Wemby, Ant, Ja, Tatum and Luka are definitely future MVPs with this type of consistent showing from the beginning of their careers. They will be the faces. Giannis is up there too but in a KD-like position , not the face , but not to be taken lightly. He did have his years tho just like when KD was a walking 30 piece.
@cjryuk1909: The league usually gets a face, which is why they’re talking about it. Some points of time it can be 2 faces of the league but people like Magic & Bird (same time), Michael Jordan, Shaq, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, & then we had Steph (same time as Lebron around 2015).
So thinking that there’s going to be a new face of the league isn't really crazy, now could this be a point in which no player gets a ton of separation sure & maybe that’s a good thing for the league to promote parity & not be so championship focused. Still the league usually thrives with a face which is why they’re looking for one with Lebron & Steph getting older, with that said you can’t force it. It’ll often happens naturally
They're trying hard to push an American. They know the euros are killing and don't wanna hear it.
You cant be the face of the league if you're not winning championships, Bird Magic MJ Kobe Shaq LeBron Steph they all won multiple championships, face of the league comes with championships and FMVP's
He is box office 🚀
Saw him against the clippers last week… even more impressive in person.
I agree with Stephen A when it comes to Ant Man in his competitiveness!
He’s easily becoming one of the NBA favorites amongst fans and his competitive nature will rub off on the younger generation who see how some of these NBA stars act like divas while Ant Man is the complete opposite.
He’s refreshing to see and have in the game today and I hope he gets everything he’s earned and will earn in the league for years to come!! 🔥
What is Shannon talking about a skills challenge at the all star game that man is serious to the games that matter
That was old school!!! Shawn Kemp/ Vince Carter type of murder!!!
He threw that ball in 😂😂😂😂
Collin left in a body bag! The funeral is next week!! Lol
He Got Plenty Highlights But This 1 Was Wild
Ant man has the defensive play of the year, and the dunk of the year. The only reason he probably doesn’t have the offensive play of the year is because of Kyrie’s ridiculous game winner over Joker the other night.
Just like my floor spacing slasher 😂
2k is trash the title is dead don’t ever lie like that again and I have had a 75+ win % SINCE 2014 I also make content on it AMD I DELETED THE WHOLE GAME FROM MY CONSOLE BC ITS LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE NOW ITS A MONEY GRAB LASTLY YOU CAN DUNK ON SOMEONE W A METTER IT TOOK ALL THE SKILL OF DUNKING ON PEOPLE OUT THE GAME
@@2KBPoliteDior who the heII cares🤣
@@2KBPoliteDiorgrow up
Facts lol
Yo the one a couple days ago on AD he missed it tho but OMG!!!!
That was an amazing...LAYUP.
Told you bruh I was waiting on this since I seen it
They cut the best part of the ant interview out 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The interview was wild lol
"The Reign Man" and "Vinsanity" are the Standard of in Game Dunkers
Just imagine. VC was jumping even higher in games
Ant a killer boy I love watching him play and I’m big lebron fan but when he retire Ant gone be my favorite player
That man has a family Ant man have you no shame sir 😂
I agree Shannon that baseline dunk to me definitely was the best dunk to me
A put in!
I remember arguing with idiots telling you how good the wolves would be this year
you will be let down come playoff time. It’s the timberwolves way
What happens if they don’t make it past the second round ?? That would make you wrong so you still ain’t right till they do some good in the playoffs
@@2KBPoliteDiorwrong. It’s an unreal season and the twolves are here to stay. Still a young team.
@@nehzei5625 first great team we’ve had in 20 years literally. In 2018 jimmy got hurt at the end the season, we went from 3rd seed to 8th and had to play the juggernaut rockets. Last year if naz and jaden didn’t get injured we would’ve beat Denver and won it all
@@2KBPoliteDior if we make the 2nd round the season is already a success. Anything past that is a bonus
I agree w/ Shannon on Ant
They had to bleep all that out 😂😂 Ant is wild
Jokic is so quiet that ESPN forgets he is the best in the world right now. 2 time MVP, Finals MVP and probably headed to more.Even sent LBJ home.
This guy in Milwaukee is pretty good too
Hush guys , they are not Americans
@@WalkingWallet Jokic is number 1 in the world rn, Giannis, idk because he hasn't done anything really since his chip
Everything Shannon said👍👍👍
I hope his career not derailed by injuries because of his athleticism
Gerald Green is a recent in game dunker who was nasty with it
The one on Gabe Vincent😬
“Shawn Kemp styyyyle”
Amar'e was my favorite in-game dunker
Unc spitting FACTS
A.E doesn't have to change his personality ...
All he needs is to keep improving his game nd stay on a super competitive team in his career.
I need to know if he meant he was giving the jersey to John Collins or Collin Sexton 😂😂😂
THis years playoffs will be fireworks.
It's time for new faces to step up.....Anthony Edwards is himmm!!! He's a unique baller with a people's personality!!! He's definitely next!!
Nah when he put buddies head on his Sack in Miami was the best dunk man. Utterly disrespectful 😂
People forget about Amare Stoudemire. He use to put defenders in body bags
When the cats away the mice will play 🤣🤣🤣
JJ be disagreeing with Shannon just to disagree 😂.
Y’all want Anthony Edwards to be the face of the league so bad yet he’s literally not even a top 10 player in the nba👨🏾🦯……….
If you think about the faces of the nba most of them are in the top 10 of all time so whoever is next sga luka ant JT Wemby really need to have an impressive career
How do I become a member to use the chat?
They didn’t put on his full quote tho 😂
Stephen A acts like we didn’t watch Vince Carter dunks 😂
He is talking to the younger fans who didn't watch him. Pretty obvious if you ask me.
They might as well pass the torch to Edwards… dude is cold!!!!
He's got the likeablity factor and he plays both ways. Say what you want bout Luka but Ant has shut him down several times when the game was on the line.
He's next up.
@@BrendanSlob luka is better , stop it . I know you have a lot of pride being American, but that shouldn't keep you from being objective
No luka isn't better not close@@3self
@@3self Luka Stat pads in trash time and inflates stats, everyone knows it.
@BrendanSlob luka has never once stated padded. Ant is good but not on the lvl of guys like luka, jokic, or Giannis.
Ngl I completely agree with UNC on this segment. You gotta bring that competitiveness even at all stars that way ppl know you're true to your craft along with gaining a certain level of mental dominance on your opponents after those all star situations
And why do y'all never talk about him as MVP? Who's got the same record as Shai Gilgeous and Jokic. He would be mine especially with the injuries/suspension the Timberwolves have had. Thunder and Nuggets hsve been healthy for the most part.
Ja Morant go crazy to tho ❤
That's a throw in. Come on man
Skip dying slow Out here without shannon😢😂😂🎉🎉😂😂
They forgot to say Gerald green in game was crazy
Minnesota better trade/draft right with Edward’s, he’s way ahead of the curb. I would love to see Minnesota in the finals with Edward’s.
Edward’s needs to get into the dunk contest, if there’s anyone that could revive the legitimacy of the dunk contest, it can be Edward’s.
Stoudemire was nasty too, when he played for Suns
Collins family had to call in to check on him😂.
Ant is athletic & skilled player he still grown in the future
Edwards is a beast!
Ant Man more like T-Mac in his prime without the injuries
ant a 2 way player tho
Tmac was lazy , Ant play both ends
Wemby is probably destined to be the next face, but if Ant can win more chips he could take that away from him.
At this point they look the most likely
That JORDAN attitude!!! Ant-man got that swag.
Are we still done with the 90's because if you are, how could you enjoy enjoy this😏😂🤣
Shannon slightly mis-remembers the dunk that was waved off for an offensive foul. The dunk from his rookie year against Toronto counted. Edwards had a dunk against Miami waved off the next year.
Ant mans mental and physical toughness is crazy.
As long as he stays humble and doesn't go full Morant, not mad at it
The reign man
Just noticed he got 2 different jersey numbers already. Aint he like 3 years in 😂
I don’t want you thinking you catching nothing when we get back to the main land…classic line TIME
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lost a lot of respect for you JJ. He did not hurt his offhand from dunking. He hurt his offhand from putting it in Collin’s face.
John the Baptist just got Baptized! MY LORD in heaven.
Ppl keep forgetting shai and Luka are 26yrs old and antman is 22yrs old I like antman upside
Blake gotta be in the conversation too
The best in game dunker was Dominic williams
yeah, they forgot about wilkins
I loved the reaction of four Utah fans!😅 Three with their mouths open in perplexity and one with her hand over her mouth scared!! 🤣🤣🔥🔥 Anthony Edwards will Posterize more NBA Stars get ready!! Anthony Davis and Embid narrowly escaped.😅🤣 Edwards will be the biggest Dunk in NBA History!!! He is a Destroying and Furious Tornado coming to destroy the Aro and whoever is in front of him.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
shoutout john collins for having the nuts to contest. We don't contest shame here.
20 years from now, we will talk that dunk..top 20 of all time❤🎉🎉4
