I'VE SEEN ENOUGH 🗣️ Stephen A. picks Timberwolves over the Nuggets 😱 | NBA Countdown 

My only prayer for Ant is to have a long, HEALTHY career.

Stephen A Smith: I've known Anthony Edwards for a very long time, we're actually best friends.

As a Wolves fan, I love Ant, I love how we’re playing. The media does not respect Jokic, but he is still that guy. Winning game 1 is big but still a long way to go

Stephen A after the Nuggets win this series: “I said it before and I’ll say it again. DENVER IS UNBEATABLE! NEVER HAD A DOUBT IN MY MIND THEY WERE WINNING THE TITLE!” 😂

You know Ja Morant was supposed to have this wave that Anthony Edward has right now but he wanted to be a gangster 🤣🤣🤣

Stephen A movie reviews: “I’VE SEEN THE OPENING CREDITS AND IT’S THE BEST MOVIE I’VE EVER SEEN!”

Thee entire room was shook and nervous when Perk said the "the Europeans were taken over and we're back"...😂😂😂😂

I’m with Wilbon, his emergence is different than any other young player

ESPN is so happy they don’t have to talk about a foreign player and can compare someone to Jordan again

SAS, the most popular American sports media figure, showing he is just a casual fan. Says all you need to know about American media

As a lifelong wolves fan and ANT meatrider since he came into the league, it is sad to see once again how brainrotted and reactionary ESPN is. Let the series play out, the Nuggets are legit. Keep the ANT expectations reasonable, he's young. These will be the same people criticizing him when he doesn't reach their falsely created expectations. Give praise to the other players, this team is full of gems.

*Stephen A.: I used to bathe and change this young man's diaper and saw his potential then.*

Michael Jordan had an aura, a glow that surrounded him. Its not something stats can show you. Antman has the same spirit, he wants the ball, everyone knows hes getting the ball and nobody can stop it. Nice to see a young buck not scared of the moment and fully attacking both offense and defense. This is gonna be a great series.

"Europeans were looking like they were taking over the game of basketball and Anthony Edwards stepped up and said 'Hold up one second. We're still here'." Can Perkins even praise a player without also having to bash the European players he hates so much? Yeesh...

after MJ and Kobe, maybe this Anthony Edwards will get me watching NBA games again.

Wilbon wasn’t done speaking yet 😂😂😂

not a single word about gobert who was probably the most important player in that game. americans in love with points.

Him and Nick Wright couldn’t wait to pick someone over the Nuggets 😂

Ant reminds me a lot of MJ and Kobe I was saying this a while ago. I just hope he continues to get better and wish him a long healthy career.

Maybe the most impressive thing about Mr. Edwards, is how gracious he is, in doling out "thanks" and credit -- to his teammates, to his coaches, to USA Basketball -- and on, and on, and on. Watch his interviews. He makes no bones about how badly he wants to "kill everything" that's in front of him. But at the same time, he's always giving credit & thanks for his success, to those who've helped and supported him. In the middle of this season, I watched him in a profile Ms. Andrews did on Ant. They played a game of Jenga -- and he was intelligent, charming, and charismatic (without being creepy, or hitting on her). At his young age, THAT's when I knew, that Anthony Edwards is a different and special kind of dude. Like everyone else, I just love watching the man play basketball.

He needs to win consistently before you start comparing to some of the greats. You guys are quick to call somebody the next Jordan or Kobe without any accomplishments.

This is so premature. You can never count the Nuggets out.

The way they immediately cut to commercial as soon as Perk started spilt the lid on their "us vs the foreigners" agenda💀💀💀

That is some amazing words from these guys for a Minnesota player. So great to hear positive things after decades long bad basketball.

Wilbon got the I got the I just woke TF up face….😂😂😂😂

Ant Edwards is that DUDE it’s very apparent at this point

This is what I love about the nba playoffs you get to see the emergence of a player going from an all star to a superstar

Thanks for that “Naz Reid!”, Malika!

I can never believe how reactionary sports media is smh They need to talk after game 3 about the wolves winning the series let alone making the FINALS

Malika sooo happy her crush is getting praised like this

Ant has that potential to be great, but to pick them to make the finals, let alone win this series after game 1 is some prisoner of the monent stuff.

Great effort for the Wolves, but let’s please stop making conclusions over 1 game. These are the defending champions. They will respond.

MINNESOTA MATCHES UP VERY WELL WITH DENVER,,,DONT COUNT OUT THE CHAMPS!!!!!! IT'S GONNA BE AN EXCITING SERIES!!!!!🏀🏀🏀💯💯💯

How they easily forgot about D Wade 3rd best SG in history

SAS feeling relief that he doesnt need to talk about Joker hahahaha. Its only Game 1. The Nuggets are defending champs and aren't push overs

A star is born

Stephen A. picks the Timberwolves, that means Denver will now win the series.

5:15 they didn’t want no part of that conversation lol 😂😂😂😂

They are forgetting one major thing. It’s not just the production and demeanor of Mike. It’s how he moves. It’s like a faster MJ. It’s scary good how the man moves. That’s a big part of MJ’s appeal. It’s must see tv.

Ant was amazing last night. Serious Michael Jordan vibes

Classic media. If the Nuggets win Game 2 SAS will be taking the Nuggets. Enough with the over reactions and prisoner of the moment. This is going to be a great series and both teams have an equal chance IMO. Either way, it’s just great to see two homegrown teams with young studs duel it out. Very blessed to be watching this change of the guard

It's sad that these guys are not happy because Europeans are "taking over". May the best player and the best team win. Stop with the discrimination.

Honestly we have to credit Gobert and Naz Reid’s defense on Jokic in that 4th quarter

Dude is a 2-way MENACE!

Even as a Nuggets fan I respect the Wolves and think this is going 6 if not 7. But coming out for either side this definitively after ONE game is ridiculous. This is going to be a long series

Denver will win .the veteran championship team always comes threw over the upstart younger players

Didn't Luka do something similar with 20 and 21 yo and SAS said almost nothing about it? Love Ant man, he and Luka the next big rivalry in nba for the next 10/15 years

Lmao at Perk making it an America vs. Europe thing at the end

Wilbon is a wordsmith! Excellent description 🏆

Anthony out here with that move on Gordon making him look like that alien robot on the Terminator movie!! 😂😂

Mj, Kobe, Anthony Edwards 🔥 Sorry Bron there's something magical in the air about Ant it feels familiar He got that IT mentality that Bron didnt have but Kobe and Mj did 🔥

LOL!! One game in and already canceled the Nuggets. sometimes I really wonder on their knowledge about Basketball.

I’m a nuggets fan, Ant is cold blooded ! I knew this series wouldn’t be easy but anything can happen 😖 GO NUGGETS !!

1:44 Haha why is Perk always doing the show in the bathroom in Houston? 😂

The wolves had a lot of big guys to throw at Jokic and guys who can guard Murray

After 1 game against the defending champs is insane

Perk made race an issue when it came to regular season MVP voting last year and now he is making it about Europeans vs Americans in his praise for Edwards. Perk is such a unifier....

This take from Perk aged well man

Anthony Edwards literally gets better every year, it's crazy. And He's not scared of anybody.

Malika disrespecting Wilbon like that ... needs to be checked

Noooooo Stephen A. you got a history of cursing/jinxing teams in the playoffs...please pick the Nuggets we Wolves fans suffered enough 😭

LMAO min 5:19 - 5:28… nobody was gonna touch that!!😂😂😂

5:17 Oh brother. I’m so sorry to tell you that Giannis AND Jokic have a handful of years left, Luka’s not slowing down soon and Wemby has barely begun. Not discrediting Ant of anything, but Perk, you will have to suffer for the next decade or so if you wish on Europeans’ downfall like that.

wilbon was pissed when they cut him off lol

The NBA hasn’t accepted Edwards. Those refs tried their hardest to keep the Nuggets in the game.

Im not a Minnesota fan. But the dude is balling. Anthony Edward is balling, man.

Anthony is the man. Love his energy, the moves---and the results!! Indeed, if he stays healthy he will be the force to reckon with for a long time.

No size advantage for DEN over MIN like they had vs LAL. DEN has a size advantage over most teams they play and can force teams to play no more than 1 big at a time. Can’t do that vs MIN with KAT and Gobert 7+ and Naz pushing that height. With at least 2 of those 3 on the court at all times and KAT and Naz being great shooters, it inevitably means Jokic and or Gordon/MPJ are pulled away from the hoop and therefore out of position to rebound. The game within the game. As long as MIN plays at their norm I don’t think theres anything DEN can do to win except hope to have an outstanding offensive performance from their players. But that is unlikely given MIN has the best D and DEN bench is not as strong as last years.

Ant Edwards to LBJ and KD this summer " There is a new Sheriff in Town"

He reminds me so much of young D Wade i love it

This Man is unbelievable. He does it every year. After one or two games in a series he takes a statement that looks good and save at the very moment.

They love to count out the Nuggets. Never gave them a chance last year.

After 1 game? This is the problem with sports media

"This brother is special "- Stephen A Smith

im back loving the NBA coz' of the ANT 🔥

It’s game 1 people……… calm down people, it’s exciting to see but remember what the joker is capable of. Stop predicting like it’s over for Denver, it’s the first game. Denver has experience, Minnesota has energy. Let’s take this series game to game.

Series is far from over

Perk's last statement just confirmed that the media will always choose to praise their USA players than international players.

Goodness gentlemen at least let him buy you dinner first, sheesh 🤣

This is definitely not a reactionary take.

Everyone who has T.Wolves winning the series. 👇

"When does the suit end, and Perk begin."

The nba is heating up. Minnesota should be proud of this team. Denver is not an easy team to beat. Congrats 🎉🎊🍾

If SAS says the T-Wolves are winning, then I’m going with the Nuggets 😂

That beat tho playing behind Ant Man montage. 🔥

I been ready since the playoffs started vs suns his the next best and he has arrived his crazy good

I remember Bucks went up 2-0 vs Raptors and this guy said it was over over 😂

Protect ant at all cost!! Please stay healthy young man!!!

I got a funky feeling this won't age well SAS, how many good games like this will Gobert have against Jokic? If historical evidence is any indication, this was it, let that first win breathe with a sound analytical basketball mind that you obviously possess

Nobody is going to talk about the random clip of banchero randomly eating at the end? Lol

Yea Stephen A. he is at such a young age the leader of this team😳, and this guy is bringing back the inside game in the paint where this game has turned into a 3 point shooter game, thank you young sir!!!🤔👌🏾👏🏾👑✔️💯🏀

The Spirit of Jordan is in this kid 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Been a wolves fan since I was a kid. Feels good to FINALLY be a good relevant team

Stephen A predictions are normally wrong so im going with the crispy fried nuggets 😂😂😂

Go Denver whoohoo! We’re such a good team, finally waking up!

I agree, I pray

I got to see another season/playoffs next year before declaring anything

AE won't have another game like that this series. Sorry. Nuggets all the way.

Perk, you have grown my brother. Im proud of you.

Why is Malika smiling non-stop like the cat who stole the cream?
