I had to thumb this one up on every account I got access to!!! This video was TUUUUUFFFFF 💪🏽💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why Nas d riding yall?

[@raymondreddngton]

Me vs nobles next I’m cookin him 💯

[@wiwipeepee]

Respectfully, Austin's advice during the timeout when it was 9-4 cost him the game. Basically told him to stop attacking. As a smaller person, Matt should've kept using his quickness like he did before, even if he is tired.

[@jalenbolds]

nah he was doing too much. he wasn’t even using his speed

[@marquisegibbs9875]

He told him to take plays off on d and noble caught his rhythm... then he was done attacking w the same aggression

[@jamariameer]

i agree

[@ambientblue-eyedmonkey8849]

if if he's tired.... playing too much video games?

[@Aestheticallypleasing1v1]

Austin kept saying he’s gassed that plays a mental note when someone keeps telling you you’re tired. He was suppose to tell him “you’re not tired it’s mental you’re strong”

[@cristianwithnoh2951]

That stamina difference is crazy. I would've liked to see Matt play at more of a controled pace after the first few buckets of his. Noble definitely played to his own pace and showed a high level of athleticism. Good game.

[@makesmartTROYces]

What Noble was able to do was use Matt's aggression on defense against him, he used a lot of hesi's and pump fakes. Like at 4:34 Noble dictated the pace Matt had one speed the whole game, as soon as the ball touched the floor he was sprinting. That was the difference to me

[@MM-si6im]

Matt is definitely a star. Has such an explosive, exciting and aesthetic game. That layup package is beautiful. But Noble showed the levels of a pro. Smooth, paced, efficient. Overall great game but the more polished guy won 👏🏼 this is gonna be a 🔥 series

[@Shmuxl]

Matt was way more polished

[@MM-si6im]

Matt is so tough but yet he blew a 10-4 lead against Noble, and Noble won the game 13-10. What y’all should be saying is how tough Noble is… Props to Noble on a awesome comeback game and winning that 💵

Shit if he was better he would know to control his energy and play both sides of the ball 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@gabe4433]

[@joshuajackson1036]

How can matt be better but he can't guard noble?!?!

[@joshuajackson1036]

This is a 1v1 tournament not a 5v5 so therefore based off results noble is the better player 1v1

[@blackbeansauce1150]

Good game. Unfortunately, it came down to Noble’s height advantage. Matt had to work harder to get his shot off, and also on the defensive end which led to him getting gassed. Most of Noble’s points came after Matt was too tired to play proper defense.

[@timmybarns3917]

Noble is only 6’5 while Matt being 6’2. You acting like noble is 6’8+ Noble is just better.

Glad to see Matt back. He's one of the best players to watch that's ever been on this channel.

[@eta8304]

Matt was so tensed. All of his moves were explosive even when not necessary.

[@rayjordan813]

Coz his opponent is so fuckin tall

[@myjciskate4]

Lmfao. What? That's how you have to play in a real game lmfao. When you're that height at the college level, you have to do everything explosively. Lol. If you're just relaxed, you're not getting by anyone or getting stripped.

[@eta8304]

hello casuals. yall heard of change of pace? using your body to protect the ball? initiating contact? no? thought so.

[@myjciskate4]

@@eta8304 All the explosion was necessary. He's playing against a far taller, more athletic player. That's why he was busting his ass for the first few buckets. He just got fatigued because he's not well conditioned. I'm not a casual. Explosion can be beneficial if the defense defense is giving you the top foot.

[@eta8304]

"selective" explosion is important. He even explodes too much into his moves that he goes too fast that he doesn't let the defense react to his change of direction. He doesn't read, he sets his mind on combination that he is going to do, explodes in every move, not letting the defense react first, then ends up going back to where the defense was sitting.

[@MaconArtofMotion]

Player does anything: "That's tough"

[@joshuazayas9707]

Matt gets his stamina up, he'd be tough to stop. He's so good man 💪 him getting tired is really the only thing that stopped him.

[@Curtis01902]

Matt’s stamina played a huge role in his loss but it mostly came down to the height disadvantage. Everyone saying he was unnecessarily explosive.. how else is he supposed to score? Ggs to both of them nonetheless

[@IJNIP34]

Gotta respect the choices. Matt coming in with a chip on his shoulder and grinding.

[@Kay_Wright]

"Matt foul him" 😂 the background commentary was hilarious

[@antwainekimbrough]

Tough game - Noble & Matt. Much Respect to both guys

[@thirtyacres7504]

Matt would have ended this when Noble had 4 points. Matt just couldn't nail any 3s. Stamina cost him the game. I think if he took his time and shot some 3s with balance, he would have won. Crazy explosiveness and layup package. He gave up at least 3 inches to Noble who is also longer. So we gotta give him credit for that. Matt at 6'2" and Noble at 6'5", but Noble looked taller than 3 inches, easily.

[@SwaggyMj]

Waiting for next part to drop! It’s gonna get crazy 🔥

[@duvann36]

Yoooooo great idea y’all came up with tough good great first game Matt was doing his thing and so was noble good content

[@mr.crazy2505]

It comes down to experience as well in this setting with the camera's on you. You can honestly tell who's been here before and this is why Matt lost but great game to Noble for keeping his composure and letting his game come to him instead of forcing it would love to see a rematch.

[@Whiteboy_1100]

“You know he got a family too” is the craziest shit I’ve heard 😂😂😂

[@seanyzay]

Matt so tuff. Unfortunately athleticism trumps skill to a large degree in 1v1's especially when you got that much height on your opponent. Well played only problem I have is how can you call defensive fouls after recovering from a pushoff ? gotta let that slide. Good game though

[@elevenrings5871]

Matt being much quicker and stronger helped him a ton lol Noble displayed just as much skill… mostly jumpers

[@seanyzay]

@@elevenrings5871 Noble did not display as much skill in any way. At any point noble could get off a basically uncontested jumpshot or get more buckets from push off layups bc it's damn near impossible for matt to block it. Height, reach, and jumping all heavily in favor of noble. Makes it significantly harder to score against. Bro was just dribbling extra to get the same jumpshot he could have had anyways🤣

[@kennonsearcy8853]

Good game, Matt’s lack of endurance got da best of him. They both have a tuff game on dem. Seemed like Matt’s bag was a lil deeper doe. Congrats Noble.

[@Omarxh3]

This was good bump both guys were very competitive and it sucks Matt loss but be played hard but fell short at the end for taking off on defense. But I’m proud of noble for still pushing and finding his shot
