- In 2015, Anthony Edwards lost two of the most influential women in his life to cancer, his mother and grandmother. After that, family and basketball became that much more important to Edwards, who opted to stay home and attend the University of Georgia. Now, Edwards welcomes everything that comes his way with a smile on his face, because that's what his grandmother told him to do.

Imagine Atlanta drafts him? That’d be amazing
Here come the boosting allegations
yungmatt009 beautiful backcourt
Nope Hawks not gonna get him
He's one of those franchise guys and also he's a scoring gaurd he and trae wouldn't mix
@Shawn Golmes true
Dam sorry for his lost. Hope my mans succeeded
He did
He really did!
And he reclassed up a year he still suppose to be in high school but cane out a year early
I live how humble he is. Alot of these new Ballers seem unapproachable. Even in High school. But Ant-Man and that smile are going places! Dude is a beast.
Hawks Gotta do everything to get him
Sensei Hustle I hope so since that’s his hometown team Hawks gonna scary in the next couple years trae collins edwards reddish hunter and huerter as their sixth man
@@nolimitdeuce Hawks don't have him wake up and not gonna get it it's just a dream Hawks always been trash always gonna be trash
Twelve not even a hawks I’m just saying Atlanta is his hometown tell knicks fans Giannis is not goin to New York in 2021
He's one of those franchise guys and also he's a scoring gaurd he and trae wouldn't mix
Him and trae are gonna be the splash bro type of backcourt in the 2020s
Skills set similar to Wade, Waiters, Mitchell and Oladipo. Hawks should pick him while Knicks take Lamelo and GS picks Wiseman
Lamelo is going to Brooklyn or New Orleans He will never play for the Knicks
@@fashionlife5348 It's the team that picks you. You can't decide where to play.....
@@sbrah_9836 yes you can decide where you want to go. You can sign with a Team without going to the draft. You can ask for a trade and sit out the games and force a trade if you get drafted
So....why Zion decided to play for...THE PELICANS! It was so easy....he should have waited for free agency an sign with the warriors! Please...
@@sbrah_9836 Zion wanted to be in the NBA regardless of the Team he is from a different background and Economical Situation than Lamelo who is already a Millionaire and have time to choose where he wants to play thats why
This kid is a beast people are sleeping hard in this man
Sehnkai. He is a hard worker an overachiever became a top player in his senior year worked his ass of after his junior year in the gym
No one sleeping on this kid. People are sleeping on that kid from Iowa state.
He is projected 2 be the 2nd pick how are they sleeping
Sehnkai. th-cam.com/video/f6tgAVnQAQU/w-d-xo.html
Sehnkai I think you mean you're sleeping on him and haven't heard of him 'til this video?
Welcome to Minneapolis the city will love you Kat will embrace and mentor you
I love how he says he wants that number one pick, you don’t hear that now of days
I watched this kid the other day and scratched my head on how he got to Georgia.... Now I know
Man similar to Barrett harden wade Mitchell victor
As a Knicks fan, obviously I want him in NYC. But it would be nice to see him play for his hometown team Atlanta. Trey and Edwards would be scary.
ANTMAN gonna be the best 2 guard in the league in 5 years LONG LIVE MOMMA LUV & GRANDUKES 2 💕🖤
Devin Booker, Zach Lavine and Donavan Mitchell will still be around specifically Devin Booker
Anthony has the make-up of a SUPERSTAR. Book will be close, but Lavine? Not even close. & Ant has a physical & finesse game. Mitchell will be top 3 SG but Ant will be #1
💯💯💯
Wow, I didn't know John Boyega played in the NBA as well.
When was this on espn heard the number one pick quote recently
God bless you good brother and your family ❤️
Now I know why the Hawks are tanking again.
Atlanta should draft him
#1 pick. Top talent!
Went to school with him and his bro kool dude
The kid is talented
Atlanta HAwks = Ant MAn
He special as a junior before his senior year was nothing check his ig and you can see his senior year went from unknown to a number one pick contender all American and now a possible top 3 pick
What if he becomes the LBJ of Atlanta
What if he doesn't get drafted by the Hawks and your just dreaming.
Doesn't even play like LeBron in the slightest
Twelve
1) It’s a hypothetical. I’m not saying it will happen
2) Not LeBron playstyle but brought Cleveland a championship. ATL hasn’t won a title in 25 years and he could be the one to end a drought like LeBron did for Cleveland
Alex T. Stfu
Idc Kentucky still
Gone win
He’s a monster and should be number one him or Lamelo.
Darious Marshall or Wiseman if the Warriors or Hawks get the first pick, neither of those teams need more guards
Darious Marshall LaMelo good but idk about that high
BBAppleCrunch boy your cappin. Melo like Trae young and magic
MinotaurBanger69 Bob BBB Barker you right no cap I forgot about that.
Clutch7 Lamelo is a high volume shooter, a lot of people just watch the range and assume he’s a lights out shooter but he’s more Harden than Curry..
It’s Quantity over Quality for Lamelo, hopefully he works on that but I’m seeing him going top 5 because a lot of these lottery teams are heavy on guards...
How about that auburn game🤷🏾♂️
This is the one who can do what LeBron has managed to achieve if stay healthy… anything possible with this guy
Let’s go hawks
He's one of those franchise guys and also he's a scoring gaurd he and trae wouldn't mix
As a Freshmen Ant giving you 18ppg on the college level definitely has a high basketball IQ
FreshPrinceShaun yeah and lamelo giving you almost 18 at the pro level #1 pick antman a dawg though
Avery McMillan also like a 33% FG. He’s just a shot chucker
@@LouieOcean2 both are good players now
@@joshr9593 lamelo not a good player
Hawks need him Cam showing he a bust
you guys love calling people bust
@@bigcarpetflour3572 Cam plays over 25 mins a game n not average more than 5 pts
@@ericbaker2828 yea hard to get a rythm when your pg shoot from 30ft away.
@@michaelatkins8833 really? What's klay excuse bcuz his pg does from 35 feet 😂. Klay was always productive from his rookie year not comparing at all jus don't blame the pg
@@ericbaker2828 Klay Thompson a shooting gaurd cam is sf/pf why you even comparing cam with Klay he been in the league one year. Can tell you have no knowledge of the game calling him a bust after one year.. on a team full of shooters loser.
That baby was not prepped beforehand...😭🤣
A lot of people don’t know about him
Made me like him more
I love his attitude. It’s infectious and that’s what helps build a better franchise culture
John boyega
Is this Glikecoop with the commentary?
Now he gotta play for the Hawks.
future hawk
@Niles Fitch Nope Hawks getting Cole Anthony not Anthony Edwards
@@rebelsoundz u must forgot they have a PG already bad fit they need a young big man
Coach Dude you must have forgot they got a couple young big men with talent antman can play your one or two him and trae would be nasty
rebelsoundz Why would we get cole Anthony wtf
And he could’ve played football
Why he picked Georgia over Kentucky?
Real answer: he was offered more money by Georgia than Kentucky
Smh he just told u because he love (ga) in the video everybody not a sale out he a real one and plus no matter where he went he was gone only be there one year anyway he just told u about losing his mom and grandmom and u come back with a comment like that u a cold hearted person i guess its only about sports when it come to my people
Boojack city ok sorry for his loss but my comment is facts and you know it, he would’ve never gone go Georgia if they didn’t pay him a lot of money
@@boojackcity5432 Kentucky north Carolina duke kanses all stacked why not stay home and show out
Him or melo #1, wiseman only number if warriors get it cuz they need a big man
Hawks!
He's one of those franchise guys and also he's a scoring gaurd he and trae wouldn't mix
nsg shaun he’s a 2 way guard he fits perfect
This dude look JUST like John Boyega
*_I definitely want him for the Knicks. But after seeing this piece... I wouldn't be mad at all if the Hawks stayed bad enough to pick him #1 overall. The kid got'it I'm telling you ni**a's._*
F THE HAWKS. Knicks need him
ATL NEEDS HIM
He alright ion think he should enter the draft dis year tho need to polish his game ah lil more
Ronkeem Parker u sound stupid the game plan is to stop him every game this man is different
@@YourFavoriteCoolCousin hasn't even had ah game with over 5 dimes GTFOH
@@ronkeemparker2587 STFU clown
Future Cavalier
welcome to the wolves
Respect
#1 pick
No matter what this man always has a smile on his face. Wish him the best going forward. DGD! 🐶
Thats where your wrong he didnt pick Uga over kentucky he picked Uga .
It didn't end up mattering cuz it was no tournament anyways cuz of covid lol
Hype........
Why do y'all want Atlanta to draft to him? So Trey can keep the ball out of his hands? So the front office can take this kid nowhere?
It’s simple they paid him and his family that’s why 😂 no need for the bullshit
Anthony Edwards looks like a football player
Knicks do whatever you can to draft this kid. His physical attributes and obvious scoring skills aside this kid has the right mentality. He has a genuine passion for the game. He had a tough childhood and because of that you can hear the drive in his voice. And he seems like a smart kid. Guarantee you hes the type that hates losing and will outwork everyone if he needs to do.
My boy...!
If he got drafted in the nba he's pottentialy the next kd athletic and shooter
They paid them, They tried to do the same with Ashton Hagans but he didn’t want to get caught up in that.
And Fox was Fired which was coach that recruited him
It’s obvious they paid him all these programs are under pressure to win so they go out and slide money under the table
I’m a friend of ants from hs and I can guarantee you that he chose Georgia because of his love for Atlanta
He should of went to Kentucky cause they beat Georgia twice when he was on the team
Is it just me or does he look like the actor John Boyega
What type of hoodie he be wearin, it look cozy and cool...
Consistently great content! Ok, no more coffee for us. 8-)
Toodles
Number 1 pick to the Knicks. New York will love this kid and him and RJ together is a nasty combo.
Bad fit they got RJ
@@coachdudesportstv not at all.. RJ needs a dynamic player like Edwards to play with. RJ is a really good facilitating wing. RJ moves to the 3 and plays more point forward while Edwards is your dynamic scorer. It's actually a potentially deadly combo on both ends. In no way does RJ dominate the basketball and you would know that if you watched him play this year.
@@EDTheOneable OK coach
@@coachdudesportstv I mean you made a statement and I rebuttaled it lol if you don't like it then prove me wrong
@@EDTheOneable the Knicks need a young PG they have young wings Cole or Lemelo would be a better fit...... My basketball opinion...
I thought this was john Boyega from star wars
They lien to y'all
I hate when they don’t show the best team support . He came down to flordia st & Georgia . Ik ant . He choose Georgia because of his family , his sister had just had a baby & he ain’t want her to travel all the way to Tallahassee. He ain’t get paid or none . My boy had a rough life . He choosed the best for his family . But put respect on flordia st .
Did you not hear him say Kentucky & Georgia🤣nobody wanna play for Florida state he dropped y’all from the Top 4 a week before
Tracy Morgan got game
thought it was the UGF panadas at first
This dude look like John Boyega. Lol.
Finn hooping now
He is going to get his shots and attention but he will not get the development he needs. If you want NBA success you got to go to Kentucky. A few got it but most need to develop it.
lol
Go Hawks
Wiseman is #1 to me
Should’ve went with Cole Anthony to UNC
Mac to the Rack!
❤️
It would be niiiiice if the Hawks could draft Edwards 1st pick and somehow James Wiseman falls in their lap also.
79Primetyme that’s pretty much impossible
Please be CAVS bound or please get drafted to Memphis so Ja an have a new weapon
Coach Dude him and ja in Memphis would be CRAAAAAAAZY
@@ForeverHues facts
@@ForeverHues he reminds me ben maclamore
So he never really liked Georgia university
First
Soft Rice it was me actually
I really hope my Knicks get him Edwards and RJ nice little duo and the backcourt.
@1:05 hahaha that smile as he says his mom and grandma died of cancer.
When is going to stop this one-and-done thing and start having College people stay at least 2 years
Theo Keith Jones you’re joking right 🥴
When are they gonna stop making players attend 1 year off college?
