What does that even mean?
So happy he’s playing for USA this year because he’s really making people realize that he’s not a borderline allstar he’s really that guy.
This Ant quote made me laugh:
>On Thursday, Edwards said Kerr had called him before the start of camp and “he was telling me about coming off the bench. > >“I mean, of course I wasn’t cool with it,” Edwards said. “If that’s what it takes, I mean, I am willing to do it, but nah, I’m never cool with that. … He said Dwyane Wade came off the bench when Kobe played. I was like, all right, we don’t have a Kobe, but all right. But it was cool.”
😂
Anthony Edwards is HIM
Ant coming off the bench might be a great idea. If the opposition’s best players aren’t matching up with him he’ll be able to assert his will that much easier. The other team’s starters will get less rest because their bench will let the game get out of hand. Then again, Ant is The Guy so it’s silly to pull him from the starting rotation.
Gilbert Arenas talked on his podcast about them not starting Ant. I know this is getting into conspiracy talks, but Arenas said Ant is the best player on the team, but being bench. Ant is also only one of two players not sponsored by Nike. Team USA is sponsored by Nike. He said its 100% politics. It’s some bullshit
we have an ant
Ant on IG just responded to this. This is a non story
