Anthony Edwards is the type of player we old heads been waiting for.

[@shootthejay7002]

AMEN!

[@Itzmeehoe]

Bro don’t duck no smoke that’s the main part of it

[@jstdun]

Because there haven't been countless guys with this mentality before him... Big fan but these takes are ridiculous.

[@lavellesogucc1]

@@jstdunwhat mentality he ain’t no winner lmao. Rudy the reason they are #1 seed really their Defense is #1 teams don’t even score 110 a game against them cause players pass on shots at the rim cause of Rudy who’s Leading DPOY.

This is what the SG position has always been about and he’s it

[@dre7147]

Anthony Edwards is my favorite player in the NBA he's so fun to watch he's box office and he's so young, he's a amazing 2 way player 🔥🎥

[@klevistp12]

He’s only getting better

Ant is only 22, dominating like this Dude will be face of the league down the line no doubt 🙌🔥

[@user-br3gb4fh2f]

He cut his hair ready. Ja wants to be stubborn tho otherwise he will be

[@Mook05]

What is he dominating??

[@HaydenJamal]

Gilbert forgets Minnesota did NOT HAVE Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels in that Denver series and gave them a battle. And KAT and Rudy did not have chemistry. Could be different this go round it shouldn't be hard to see logically how they aren't one of the contending teams in the NBA

[@SodaWasDeleted]

Fr, McDaniels on Murray would’ve been a lot more helpful.

[@kevintowns9552]

And They all called Kat was crazy

[@grasssanta5936]

I didn’t realize it but man Naz Reid would’ve been instrumental in that game 5. Both Rudy and KAT fouled out in the final quarter. Imagine having Naz to fall back on earlier so they don’t pick up a few of those fouls.

[@moneybags612]

Not only did we play Denver wo the whole squad but Denver bench isn't as good as it was last year.

[@richborn6700]

​@@SodaWasDeletedthankfully with NAW being a piece of that Conley trade he was able to lock up Murray. NAW Is the defender I want McDaniels to mature into. McDaniels got a deeper offensive bag too but he hasn't been showing it this season

[@andrelima5124]

He's a competitive dude with all the swagger and athleticism, hopefully He stays outta serious injuries and evolves his game to reach all the potential!

[@somnang100]

Before you think someone is better than Ant just remember Ant is only 22 years old.😊

I have been saying this since his rookie year

[@tommymatt5]

I seen his name so I wanna be somebody it he comments saying it “Anthony Edward’s is the closest thing to Jordan that this generation will ever see and I hope they appreciate it” People don’t respect it but he could actually start winning rings THIS year. He has a solo scoring big and a defending/rebounding big. He can play free with a mamba mentality

I wanna see Gilbert on ESPN.

[@thomasschmidt7649]

I’ve been saying it for a while. If you squint just a bit you can see a young MJ. He is only 22!

[@jamminwithjam]

There’s no question about it…. Reincarnation of MJ… Anthony Edwards is that dude!

[@mainframe4051]

He's the most exciting player in the league right now. And i think he's the only player I've seen that has locked Luka down with clamps lol.

[@penkima4923]

This season Luka has scored 34 points and 39 points with 8 turnovers versus Ant (who had 2 steals).

Ant is patient beyond his years. He could enter the 4th quarter having taken 3 shots. It doesn’t matter. If the defense lets up for even a second he’ll find a way to exploit them and end the game with 30

[@unpopulartruth1164]

I scouted Ant since he was in the 10th grade. I was at the game Cam gave his team 53 in dc. Most ppl don’t know Ant skipped his Jr year of hs. So he is still younger than any other star by a lot. SGA is 25. At 22 Ant has the league on notice. He’s just going to get better. He’s not close to his prime yet.

[@mainframe4051]

Thanks for these details I had no idea, especially about him skipping junior year! Yes he is the truth 💯

[@koureyking8905]

Cam Reddish? 53 is tough

[@unpopulartruth1164]

@@koureyking8905 yup in DC Hoopfest. Cam Reddish was a monster in HS. If you ever see the video where Ant,Maxey and some others was talking about who was the hardest player to guard they’re talking about Cam. I think it’s a ball is life video.

[@koreyg8552]

How many times he going to say Anthony Davis lol

[@richborn6700]

I remember when them claims of pregnancy by the IG model were going around SAS said Anthony Davis was instead of Edwards about six times before someone in his earpiece told him to shut up it's Edwards

[@subtlefps]

Can we talk about his age? He’s 22. I actually see ant as someone who can be one of those dudes SAS said, but he needs to get a bigger killer extinct all the time. Then he will be there. That and learn what MJ did. No need to force bad shots. Trust your teammates at time because they can help you.

[@Ez3s]

Reminds me of #8 Kobe

[@anthonyjohnson3284]

Ant still has 3 years till he's 25 too

[@prettythang_bnicole]

I dont think Denver really had anyone to clamp Anthony Edwards in the first round last season, thats why it was a struggle

Fr, they had to triple team him and he still dropped 40.

I agree SGA is great and might be the best PG, and he may even average more points but that doesn’t mean he is a shooting guard. As a point guard, you are the main ball handler on the team. That is not the case for a shooting guard, in which he is not the main ball handler on the team.

Low-key I think it's because SGA is Canadian. The NBA seems fixated on finding their next AMERICAN face of the League. Despite what guys like Jokic, Shai, Giannis, even Luka are doing. It seemed like Zion or Ja might have set for that role but they both fumbled it.
