Anthony Edwards is EXPOSING the Modern NBA 

Anthony Edwards may be the ONE to save the NBA. He isn't one of these boring skinny 3 point shooters. He has a midrange, footwork, fadeaways, dunks, can drive in the paint, can also shoot 3s, post up, has dribbling, crossovers, can pass, can play DEFENSE. Anthony Edwards is the REAL DEAL. And he has that killer winning mentality.

His comment about fans maybe having just enough money to watch one game a year was spot on. How unfair when the best players get rested and that fan’s favourite player isn’t playing.

This kid is a breath of fresh air! Hopefully is attitude is contagious.

“Just stop fckn fouling” 😂😂😂😂 This kid is something else. Born leader

What is crazy is Ant is only 22 years...he's like a solid 4-6 years away from the start of his prime.

As a Minnesota native, I'm so happy to hear him say that about families only able to see one game. I have 4 kids and buying enough tickets for all of us is a ton of money. Knowing that he will try to play every game because of that exact issue is so nice to hear.

Devin Booker has a very soft mentality.

I haven't seen a player really enjoying the game like Ant in a long time

Im glad someone is telling Kat to his face what his issues are. Jimmy Butler was like im done with this man

Kid is an old soul. Exactly what this Adam Silver watered down league needs.

How many fathers does Booker have at this point?

That kobe quote right after devin booker hit krazy😂

Booker: Who is going to stop us? Beal: Hold my contract!

I love ants response to get up and play

never paid attention to Ant until this vid, hes based af and a real warrior. That mentality will make him go far. He said he dont like the load management bullshit, hes got my undying respect for that.

Edwards is showing that tough mentality is so important than just skilled

I mean his mentality is literally the opposite of KD and Booker. Which is why one of them got swept and the other has a bright future.

The 3pt scoring worked for GS because they had 2 of the greatest shooters ever. Not everyone team is GS or Curry and Klay. The mid range game is needed when the pace slows down in the playoffs.

Last year took my son to a basketball game in Phoenix. Phoenix Suns vs. LA Lakers. We hadn’t been to a game in over 7 years together. Paid almost $250 for nosebleeds. Lebron DNP, AD DNP, Reaves DNP, Durant DNP, Booker DNP, CP3 was the only one out there playing. What a disappointment 😢😢

I love Ant 🐜 he's become one of my favorite players. He has what many players lack nowadays & that's passion for the sport. He's dedicated to his craft with a killer instinct. Nothing but respect to this true baller 💯

“These people may only have money to come to one game, and this is the game they go to and your sittin out” Love this guy

KD is talented but doesn’t have enough on the inside

As an old head who grew up watching kobe and mike. We've been waiting along time for this kid, cuz le flop was never it for us.

The only thing he doesnt like is guys sitting out. Because he's thinking of the fans who may only have enough money to go to one game and their star is sitting out. What a mature man. Appreciate you.

Please please please keep this man away from serious injuries. As a Pacers fan. I love this dude.

Here after Wolves absolutely obliterated Denver in their home and went up 2-0. Man if Kobe was still here he would be so proud of Ant. No doubt THE next face of the league dude deserves it.

damn that edward answer makes me a fan now. thanks for da video

Booker to Ant is the perfect example of an extreme scale from Soft to Hard.

“If you could add one rule to the NBA what would it be”? Make carrying/traveling violations a thing again…

There's players like Anthony Edwards, guys that want the smoke, need the smoke. They're able to perform at another level when they're against the very best. It goes to the killer instinct gene most old school fans keep talking about. Those types of players don't complain regardless of what they got going on. They work on getting themselves better, improving upon their weaknesses because they're the obsessive types that won't rest until they're able to complete their goals. Devin Booker, not one of these guys. It's one of the big issues of the modern NBA. More and more of these types of players are more vocal about not being as driven as others when it comes to improving their game and or stepping up during the playoffs. Players like Deandre Ayton and Ben Simmons comes to mind. They got it in their head that they're already at a high level and don't care about getting outside their comfort level in order to open up their limited game. Players aren't as dedicated as they once were. Worse of all, when confronted by adversity, lots of younger players aren't trying to overcome them as often as the former era players have. The money has gotten too good and the game's gotten too soft. They've gotten too comfortable.

“These people might have enough money to come to ONE game, and that might be the game you sittin’ out.” I love this guy.

The evidence of him being MJs son and Jimmy Bucket's brother is noticeable 😂

I watched Luka dominate the clippers last night with a sore knee, shoulder and was sick. Meanwhile Kawhi baby is on the bench with the same sore knee as Luka.

How Edwards did not win rookie of the year is beyond me

Man you definetly got sub, great take. Keep up the good work.

Ant is a dude born in the wrong era and I like it 😏

Man, he's different...he's bringing back old-school basketball.

Slow down, Curry wasnt forced on us....Lebron was

Great video & excellent take! Keep ‘em coming!

Thank you for this video! Born and raised I the 612 of Minneapolis, not quite old enough to still be bitter about the Lakers leaving (but, we are ALL born bitter in Minnesota about that one. Though I am who you have described as a casual fan, I did watch a lot of hoops in the days of Magic, Bird, MJ. I celebrated the inception of the T-Wolves, enjoyed when we fans would chant “Pooh” for Pooh Richardson, cause it sounded like “Boo” but wasn’t. Suffered through all our improbable ping-pong ball first picks fall out of the top 3 until KG! We all got heart-stomped by Stephon, befuddled by Isaiah JR Ryder, suffered the Joe Smith debacle, were heartbroken when Malik Sealy died. I could go on, and on, and on…RIP Flip Saunders. KAT brought me back closer, but with fear we would mess up his tenure and watch him KG with another team. This is truly exciting. Ant is actually a pro-typical professional Minnesota athlete. Like the Kirby Pucketts, a threat at the plate and in the field, a real leader, demands much of himself, so expects the same from his teammates. The MN sports skeptic in me will have to wait, to see that we do not screw this up like a David Ortiz. Ouch. Again, thanks, and have a superb weekend!

Anthony Edwards’s looks like Eddie Winslow 😂

Let the League be more physical like the '90s and early 2000s ....and Ant-man while thrive even more. There would be more separation between him and the soft era.

You can’t get more people like this, one of a kind. Respect

Ant is a throwback. And I don't mean how he plays, but his passion and how he had the right mentality. He's the new face of the NBA. I've never been a Twolves fan, but I am now.

I strongly agree, it used to be Kawhi that exposes this but sadly got hurt and not in his prime anymore

Anthony Edwards is who Ja Morant THINKS he is

Man ! Thank you for showing the clips and not having them in a tiny box in the corner of the screen, while you take up the rest of the screen with your face and a big ass microphone.

As someone who can afford to go to one NBA game a year, I beyond appreciate what Edwards said.

Ant is a straight beast

The DIRECT communication area for Millennials and GEN Z has begun!

Love everything about AE on the court, great take. I love SGA game too.

🔥video bro

Ant has the full package. Strong size, athletic, three-level scorer, charismatic and REAL. You can tell he doesn’t fake the kind of person or player he is. I don’t take the MJ comps too seriously for obvious reasons and I don’t see him being the best in the league with Jokic/Luka/Wemby around for at least the next 10 years but he brings much needed character and competitive energy the league has seemingly lacked in recent years. Since he’s American and European players are dominating, he’ll definitely get that media push to be the face of the league, especially after LeBron retires.

Today's T. wolves is so exciting to watch! Men! Defence is what NBA lacks today, it's boring to watch with just shooting and shooting, scoring so easily it's boring, while Nuggets is also interesting to watch, what I want is to see a defense that can stop their dynamic offense!

I really like your channel! Great views even when I don’t agree a 100% I understand why you think differently. I’m not from the us but currently living in it. I have a simple but I think valid question that I would love to hear your point of view. Why does the USA players don’t go into international competitions with the best players? I think that between Europe and USA there is a different play style that could be pretty good to watch and learn from both sides. And I think that the “level” difference that some people say the us haves over Europe is more a ignorant view than an actual reality. Thank you!

I just learned about ANT. He has the same aura as Kobe, MJ, and Ja! I will now watch him every time he's on my TV schedule!

The current NBA is LIT. I've been watching since the mid 80s and this is one of the best seasons ever, with more good teams than I've ever seen. Edwards would be wreaking just as much or more havoc in the 90s.

update: no tf he ain't

massive respect to this kid... I called it when he ran off the court trying, during the playoffs. he gave everything and he passed the skills/attributes eye test.. Edwards is that guy

I have to admit, I was so skeptical when he first came into the league because of some things he said, but man oh man was I wrong about this guy. His game is incredible and his work ethic and attitude seem to be almost second to none in the league. I see championships in his future

Play-In Tournament = No Player left behind

Great video BUT LEBRON does not bring fans to the NBA he’s almost ruined the nba all by himself. Look at ratings when he came in and look now

Great vid

When I was about 10 years old, I read a paperback bio of MJ. He said the same thing 🐜 ANT said, nearly wfw.... "I'm playing for that (father/son) who have never seen me play and this may be their only chance" Love ANT-MAN more and more every time he laces em up.

As a Wolves fan, it's going to hurt when he wins a title with another team...

I hope Ant gets all the publicity. He needs to become the face of the NBA so it can start turning a new chapter.

Thank you! I'm so glad someone said it!! I wish AE nothing but the best. He's a breath of fresh air.

Great video my guy. Much needed analysis. I'm sick of pretending that this current nba product does not suck.... Whole generation soft... Player empowerment though right?

What you're saying kind of makes no sense. Lebron James is the reason the league sucks so much these days. Having an overrated star is not what the league needs. Because that's just continuation of what we already have. Then the entire topic is that star beating records and winning more rings than Jordan. Same old crap. Instead it should be about the game itself. Lebron encouraged this bitch behavior. Quitting, making excuses, teaming up and the rest. Blatant flopping. Resting on defense. Not playing games. They need to look up to the ufc. UFC makes stars. But the business is not about the stars. It's about the fights. If a star leaves, great fights are still there. So you get new stars. With the nba, they're prolonging a star's career so much, because they rely heavily on that star, as far as coverage of the league goes. It's literally not about the competition at all. Or earning anything. It's about giving people awards. You have Jokic schooling the league. They completely ignore that, and talk about how LeBron needs more help. Or what he'll do off season. Because they're used to the usual casuals. Seeing highlights of a single dude. Of a team sport at that. They do not appreciate great basketball. Because the league does not even promote it. They're rooting for narcissist's. Because the league promotes them. They made wining irrelevant. Now it's more about stats than winning it seems. 90% of the league just a bunch of softies. On and off the court.

Massive respect! Haven't seen this media day interview, but the kid is talking sense.

When he made that statement about players resting in the defense of fans who may not have the luxury of seeing multiple NBA games made me a fan. I'm now a fan. I hope they sweep Denver in fact they should because they're more rested. Nice win in game 1 I'm a Cavs fan but Timberwolves go get the ship💪🏾

Ant is the definition of NBA2K18 "Sharpshooter Slasher" build...God, that build was nasty

Those first 5 seconds 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta love Ant, his effort, mentality and leadership is why they will win the chip this year! Yoooo that Rick Grimes vid after his dunk was perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This kid is a throwback to the 90s Era. The nba isn't ready for him!

1:35 GOOD FOR HIM! awesome.

So refreshing! Definitely an old school mindset. That young man is a competitor!

Living in Minnesota has been so much fun this post season :)

Haven't seen a full game since Kobe's last game. This young man reminded me of Kobe. He has my attention and will watch him ball.

Diehard Lakers fan. I’ve been on the ANT bandwagon for a cpl yrs - and I’m rooting for him to stay and win with Minnesota. He’s a DAWG, and he deserves to be the next face of this league.

“Well just stop f*cking fouling” 🤣🤣

Love Ant, and oh btw, I'm writing this with TWolves already up 2-0 against Nuggets.

Ant's response about fans getting to see him play js reminiscent of what Kobe has said in the past. Ant has Mamba Mentality. I hope his style is the future.

Walking dead clip had me dying 😂

“The people might have money to come to one game” - that spoke volumes about this exceptional talent. Jordan movements, mamba mentality. This is what the “modern” nba load mgmt league needs

Ant is absolutely like an NBA player from the 80s. Gritty and tenacious. Love how he is calling out all of the load management queens.

damn Kobe "you gotta send another one" :D

Good vid

I hate how everyone pretend like Timberwolves are not stacked.

When he tells KAT to stop fking fouling, he looks JUST like MJ. I'm sorry that's MJ's son.

I like his response on the load management you making millions people and we wanna see you play

Im 44 years old,I watched MJ during 90ts.And by the way,Im from Serbia,so its only natural to be fan of the Denver Nuggets,because of the Nikola Jokić...but man,this kid reminded me on MJ .Every move he got,its same as when I was watching the Air Jordan.This kid will be the new face of NBA in years to come.Just to stay healthy

The thing is that the Ant man is really a 110% effort guy, and on top of that he plays defense and then after all that you had the talent and spectacle he puts up? holy hell, hope he doesnt get hurt cause he is pure show

Watching ant this season & playoff has reminded me of watching MJ & Kobe & the defense ants been playing just amazing really been fun to watch

Dude's a breath of MUCH NEEDED fresh air for NBA --- Entitled players should take note, but they will not.......entitled never see anything as being ON THEM---Always someone else's fault eh LaBronnnn.......

Dude is so mature for his age. love the mentality and work ethic. And dude is so much fun to watch

the fact he is seeing so much success this early in his career makes me so happy

I'm taking a shine to him. Love the combination of humility and hubris. Doesn't give a.. if his jump shot was a touch prettier... he'd be perfect. It's not ugly.. but it's a shade away from perfect

“Very well loose that series “ lol

Hey, interesting video, thx, but I have a question, my english is not that good: what did ant say to kat at the press conference?
