Frfr, youngins forget Lebron only went back to Cleveland because he saw the potential of a superteam in Kyrie and another first pick they could trade for. Kyrie is the closer for Lebron like DWade was to Lebron, Lebron can’t close during 4th quarters and Kyrie is him.
@@claude2732what’s scary is Luka is similar to Lebron minus the athleticism , but a much better shooter and can close games as well. I was surprised when a good amount of people didn’t think Luca and Kyrie could coexist.
@@newlife6265No he sounds old that Lebron couldn’t close games narrative happened from 08-15:The skip bay less era, while he was in his athletic prime, not anymore
@@rasgardenandpoultrypigeons2048Yh and Kyrie was saying himself that year he didn’t wanna play anymore n was putting in way less effort. I think if Ant didn’t say what he said the Kyrie wouldn’t be going this hard.
Because he should've. He wasn't making basketball his priority, he was trying to be MLK or Malcolm X. This year he focused on basketball and look at the results. It's pretty simple logic.
@@286mic Please stop talking please stop talking what he did do was make human beings of responsibility to human beings. Don’t understand the genocide and redoing history as a top priority of people that don’t look like him in the mirror.
I'm not a SAS fan but SAS was right, *"AT "THAT" TIME!!"* This Kyrie is NOT the same Kyrie SAS was saying he needs to retire. People can change. And if they do change, why hold their past against them?! Change means "a difference" and Kyrie has shown that: "A DIFFERENCE!!"
He wasn't calling Kyrie out, he was answering a question. Even if he WAS calling him out, that shouldn't be looked down on or made fun of, it should be praised that he was willing and ready to attempt guarding someone that we all know can't be guarded. Win or lose, that's the killer mentality we want more of.
@@JusticeRobinettMusic When you shrink and disappear in Game 7 (2 points in the first half), get bailed out by your bench, and by some miracle 3/4 of the other team scores 0 points the entire game on nonstop bricks? You'd better come back down to Earth real fast.
He literally didn’t say anything lol. Y’all asked him what he’s excited to see in the mavs series and all he said was “I’m excited to see what I can do on kyrie” and all y’all mfs took it out of context and made it sound like he was calling the mf out
@@idkflare8282 I been around guys like ant my whole life. You can tell when mfs are actually calling out someone and when they just answering the question respectfully. And it’s the latter in this case.
This is the biggest lie I've seen in weeks. Ant simply said Kyrie was his matchup which is true, who else is going to be on him? He never called out kai like "oh yah I'ma lock him up"......the Internet and SAS decided to turn it into that. Weird.
Nah, SAS is wrong, but Ant saying "It's gonna be fun" was him implying that it wouldn't be that hard.. who tf thinks guarding uncle drew is fun? Someone who thinks they can guard uncle drew that's who 😂
@@joefrankenstein5553 yeah, like a video game.. not trying to guard the guy with the best handles in the NBA 😂 bro was gassed in the 3rd quarter 🤣 yeah, real fun watching uncle drew drop 30 on your head 😭
If you need motivation to play in the WCF because of what Anthony Edwards said, he should just f*cking retire! It's a bullsh*t take drummed up by the drama queens in the media.
@@michaelelliott1212 your doing what the media is doing lol. At what point has Kyrie’s lack of motivation been questioned? Any baller knows that’s just more of a personal competition within the game itself.
@@michaelelliott1212 Play 100 games a year and see if sometimes you don't need a little extra motivation ... At Your Job ... Are You 1000% motivated at all times?
*Kyrie Definitely went off showing his asnwer to Anthony Edwards And the most disgusting thing was that he did it on the court, you have to give him respect because he deserves it, he is an experienced championship winner."*
Coming back to basketball after 20+ years has been nice to watch. All the players I new had gone and I didn't know anyone, it was like watching again for the first time, Getting to know the players and not following just 1 team. It's great.
its not rocket science. saying kyrie is my match up means he is challenging him. the way Ant talks to Kd and joker yall know he meant something. bring ya ass
I love Kyrie, but Put him a time machine vs Dennis Rodman with the old rules and he would lock him up. A simple hand check would totally lock him down. Dennis could guard anyone. Anyone at all. Including MJ.
@@michaelelliott1212 I don't know ... who, Exactly is the Answer to That Problem? And More Important & Timely ... is Who is the Answer to the Problem of LuKai?
Of course he wants to guard him. He wants to guard the best to push himself to be better. He’s learning. Trust me. And will come back better this year. What kind of competitor would shy away from going up against the best? Come on. Yall way of thinking is soft.
This is why you should never trust the media. These people are snakes. They praised Ant & called him the next MJ. SAS in particular likes fanning the flames about how he likes trash talkers and all that bs. Now the same guy they were praising weeks ago is suddenly a laughing stock. Ant is just a young talented kid that bought into media hype. He should continue working on his game & not pay attention to any bs. SAS, skip Bayless, Nick Wright etc are all famous for talking, don’t pay attention for professional talkers.
But is ANT averaging like MJ though? Jordan in his first 5 years averaged 28pts/22pts/37pts/35pts/32pts ,so even in losing Jordan is still a scoring machine, is ANT still a scoring machine in his losses?
I don’t get what Ant said wrong. He just said he was going to guard him and see what he can do. He never said Kyrie would never score on him or something like that.
Stephen A is the Bill Maher of sports. Fella speaks his mind with no regard, and the masses are either in full agreement or full disagreement. In this case, full agreement.
Only thing why the Mavs up 3-0 is because KAT is shooting 27 percent from the field, Gobert isn't good offensively and defensively. Ant has to guard Kyrie and Luka and be good offensively and defensively. The only players that have been good in the series is Kyle Anderson, Naz Reid, Ant and Jaden McDaniels. They teammates need to step up
They should be going small but they’re built to be big and kyrie too quick for these dudes. Luka is crafty too he should’ve got mvp imo. Jokic had a great PER but 34 9 9 is ridiculous
You know you capping too right because you like wolves doesn't mean wolves would have beaten Dallas cus Dallas too are shooting poor from three check the games 3 point percentage to Dallas usual average 3 point percentage it shows Dallas also fell off so don't say it one-sided both teams are not playing their usual best but the difference is Dallas has two motherf**king closers in their team that's why they up 3
@@kylesawkon4074I agree. I’m salty he was 3rd in voting. Similar numbers to Jokic. Jokic has 3 mvp seasons that were all identical. If you average his mvp numbers, you got 26/12/9 so you have to sale your self, is a big man getting 3 more rebounds worth more than your point guard scoring an extra 3 buckets a game? Luka makes double the amount of 3pointers Jokic takes a game on average so no duh his shooting percentage is gunna be lower. He’s not a center and most of his shots are at the basket.
Somebody else who opened their mouth about Irving and was way outta pocket was Stephen A Smith saying he should retire. So he's the last person who should say anything about calling Irving out.
Seemed like Ant was just giving him his due respect. How much less threatening could you be? “We gon see what I can do against him.” Whoa, knock my socks off….
I legit think this is just a coincidence. Kyrie always planned to turn up in the conference finals. Kyrie understands that they might need some extra punch to get through the number 1 defense. And that would be true, every game has been at some point tied in the last few minutes.
These dudes forget ant is only a kid still. He just started getting into the clubs last year. Let the kid be. He didn't even say nothing crazy. Y'all just want drama😂
Not only ANT, Gobert was named DPOY, KAT proclaimed himself as the "best shooting bigman" and you guys can't stop disrespecting the youngest MVP of Euroleague.
I mean…. That’s not true though. The reason they were up and now won the WCF is cause of Luka. He carried hard with clutch plays and a filled stat sheet
This is not calling out anyone unless he said something else lol. He's just saying it will be an interesting matchup. Did y'all expect him to say I'll play center to avoid the matchup lol
Lmao , I respect Edward’s for going on television and barking that game ! That’s what we need as fans , the young ones poking at the big dawgs , too damn soft , I’m like Edward’s even more now .
Timberwolves are still good. They're the future. They're playing a mature and experienced team. Someone needs to tell Stephen A. Lip that this is called "The Competitive Generation Second Coming."
Stephen A goes wherever the wind blows. He was talking crap about the Mavs and saying it was gonna be Minnesota and OKC. Now he's team Luka/Kyrie. Pick a side bruh 😂
Bro, all Ant said was that the matchup was going to be fun and he was excited to see what HE could attempt to do to stop Kyrie!! Didn’t say a damn thing about Kyrie himself AND, if anything, he was giving Kyrie a compliment and some respect by NIT saying he’s gonna out up 40 and there’s nothing you can do about it. Saying that shit IS disrespectful!!
I don't think Ant "called out" Kyrie. He said he was going to guard him, that's it. He didn't say he was going to shut down Kyrie or anything like that.
If antman start fearing some people, he will not get an opportunity to get a championship. Look at all the 90s great who were so freaking afraid of MJ getting personal. Their fear is the reason they did not win a championship.
I don’t understand this narrative that Ant “called out” Kyrie. All he said was “Kyrie will be my matchup”. They both play shooting guard for their teams. If they were playing different positions and Ant specifically requested to guard out of his position then I could see that as a callout, but he just stated that he, as a shooting guard, would be guarding the other teams shooting guard.
