Anthony Edwards is a real dog. No dad in his life. Mom and grandma raised him but both died when he was in elementary school. When he got drafted, he was surrounded by photos of his mom and grandma. He plays the game like it’s his last day of ever getting to play. He has that heart, skill and talent. When you have all 3, you can truly be a generational special player.

He has all the basketball skill AND the alpha dog mentality. He might quickly be my new favorite player in a league which seems to be overrun with Booker types(talented but soft, and always trying to get calls and be a free throw merchant) Honestly it's the same reason I've never really warmed to LeBron...

Ant next to KAT and Gobert swept the team that made the Finals 3 years ago and won 64 from 2 years ago. Ant swept Kevin Durant and Devin Booker who is compared to Kobe. Let that all sink in. Suns were supposed to be a top 3 seed where Minnesota got to be. This is only the beginning from Ant. He might win a ring in only his 4th season, same as Kobe. DWade won a ring in his 3rd season.

Ant is the future. Unlike a lot of the stars on other teams, Ant actually has a post up game where he can go and maximize all parts of the floor. He can shoot 3s, he can body you and drive to the paint and when he needs to slow things down and let the game come to him. He can post you up and score or find other open team mates.

I think the scary thing about Ant is that it seems like he's not even at his peak yet. If he is this good now, how good is he going to be when he reaches his peak?

Everybody rushed to that bandwagon. Wilbon, Bill Simmons, Skip and Stephen A. all fell for the hype, until they saw the real team on the court.

Malika said (somewhere around 7:52) Mat Ishbia the owners of the "Minnesota Timberwolves" - she meant "owner of the Phoenix Suns".

Minnesota - outside of a couple of Twins’ World Series titles 30-plus years ago - what have they ever won?! With Anthony Edwards and the T-Wolves mix of talent and cohesion, the fan-base’s wait may finally be ending . . .

Blaming KD for the sweep is completely letting Ishbia off the hook for his poor roster construction , and Beal for not doing his job as a 3rd option. Kd and Booker showed up. The better team won.

TBH Ant is cool and i'm all for the hype, but JA is still good and LaMelo still good too!! Melo was doing like 30+ points per game before injury. If LaMelo was on a better team and had the support ant has, then things would be different. Being on the wrong team can ruin talent. Ja has a good team but they're all injured, lets not forget their skill just bc ANT is shining right now.
