No real help for Jokic!!! AE was great!!!
Jordanesque
The wolves beat the nuggets and the referee in their own backyard π
MJ must be proud of his kiddo.
Ant is a future MVP
Thereβs a high chance that Anthony Edwards will end his career being the greatest NBA player of all time
That block was nasty
Ant man was terrific but dat man Naz Reid was big time should be a very entertaining series
I remember the lamelo fanboys were comparing him to lamelo. No disrespect to melo but this kid is on another level
Bruh looked like young Mike Jordan with the shiftiness and gliding in mid air.
young MJ
Who still doesn't believe 95 MJ could score average 50 in current league?π
That fadeaway is Jordanesque, his whole game really!
MJ's son, so inspirational!
MJοΌ
is michael jordan ?????? π π
kid undeniably has mad skills and talent. just keep his head leveled and he'll be celebrated sooner. and yeah, there's a blur of mj in that kid.
Euroligue is more exciting than NBAβ¦ i want to sleep when i watch thatβ¦ π΄π΄π΄
Ant is officially the greatest player on the planet, and the most MJ-like dude we've ever seen already. Kobe never moved that smooth. Hoping the Celtics can stop them.
Only one who can guard Ant is C. Braun
Someone seriously grab him, and grab Jordan, pull them into a room, and test theyβre DNA π Antman is coming π₯
40 piece on the nuggets. Damn
the new generation started, the biggest future player is now behind our eyes
At this stage of Anthony Edwards he has more tools than MJ at 22. He has a three ball range were hevcan shoot if he doesn't want to go against the defense.this kid has so much explosiveness its what allows him to play much bigger. You can compair all you want but antman is something different
We have had nothing to celebrate since the β91 Twins. ANT is going to bring it home for this starving loyal fan base.
Second coming of Johnny Kilroy
Ant man doesn't want to be a super star, Ant man wants to be a LEGEND! LETS GO!
Anthony Edwards is phenomenal!! Incredible player ππππ
Ants really out there playing 2k
Black mamba for realπ
this kid play like young lebron. like if you agree!
Anthony Edwards is going to be a problem for the Nuggets.
Denver will win 4-2
I see Jordan all over antsman itβs a good look
Itβs refreshing to see a guard in the modern NBA utilize mid-range jumpers and post-ups. Very rare at this day in age, as the game has mostly been watered down to layups, dunks, and three-pointers. Antβs got the whole pack offensively, not to mention his elite defense.
anthony!!!
love mavs!
Nuggets will never win if their formula continues to require Jokic to do everything. Most points, Assists, and Rebounds?
Meanwhile on the Wolves, those three stats are spreas amongst three players.
He will cook you like a Blackstone
Even the Crowd…went…OHHHH
A Block and a Assist Is Golden,
I see a Michael Jordan resemblance In Edwards, Heβs going to be a Problem!
Key Players like, Luka, Edwards, Jayson Tatum are some Unbeatable Players
Their momentum gets through your head, When they beat you with raw skill Its like getting Disclipined to Try Harder
Wow the only real generational talent i saw after Lebron
We have some questions to Michael Jordanπ
Is Crazy my friend
ANT man is cooking! π₯ π
