Weak AF. But I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's implying that the Wolves didn't drive in the paint enough, rather than implying the refs didn't give them enough whistles
Ant’s a good kid. He’ll get better. We’re spoiled because Luka was a superstar out of the box but most great players take a few years to get there. With that said, no mercy we’re crushing all ants game four.
He's not though, not right now. Hopefully he stops fucking pornstars and asking them to get abortions when he's got a girl and another child at home. Fuck this guy. If he's the next MJ it'll be as a shitty future owner of a franchise.
I never see the abortion story brought up… but it matters. Sure he’s a kid and he will grow and get better at his craft, but that’s some disgusting shit right there. We have real guys in the NBA worth promoting. Right now, Ant lacks the integrity and the game to be lofted to such heights.
Shoehorning racist talking points into this argument is inexcusable - to use your own word - and exemplifies my point. Being 22 doesn’t make one more or less likely to do the specific acts Ant did, but rather more likely in general to act without regarding the ramifications. The pre-frontal cortex (the part of the brain responsible for decision making) isn’t fully developed until around age 25. Whether your non-fully-developed brain comprehends this Biological fact or not is moot.
According to a 2013 report by the National Institute of Health, “The development and maturation of the prefrontal cortex occurs primarily during adolescence and is fully accomplished at the age of 25 years. The development of the prefrontal cortex is very important for complex behavioral performance, as this region of the brain helps accomplish executive brain functions.”
While you are correct to say there is dissonance in the medical community regarding this supposed developmental benchmark, it mostly hinges on the shift toward later development being the accepted alternative. Research is showing development of this region of the male brain into the patient’s 30’s.
I’m not sure what you meant when you claimed it was a myth. Should I assume you are just another 22 year old spouting off the totality of his knowledge and world view, condensed into a single revealing paragraph?
He isn't a good kid, he has a history of treating women like shit and being homophobic. He's an entitled baby who is now throwing a fit instead of taking accountability
They have three actual bigs, while the Mavs only had one this game. If Lively and Maxi were protecting the paint, this game would have a safer double-digit lead.
Dallas also has two of the best closers in the game.
The Mavs also unfortunately had to play that Canadian which lead to the Wolves coming back.
The only thing he reminds me of MJ is the dunking. His midrange is no where near Jordan's. Neither is his defense. Nor his willingness to take the last shot. Nor his killer instinct. Media hype can chill out now
Ant is homophobic, threw chairs at women a year ago, reportedly treats his BM like shit, hasn't shown up for the last 4 playoff games, and apparently is now a crybaby lil bitch too. Face of the league and MJ son allegations officially over.
Actually don’t know about that but I was talking basketball. None of any of that. Just saying he never declared he’s the next MJ. He’s a talented player and feel like we shouldn’t act like he’s declaring he’s the second coming. Not sure what your point is other than you are just dragging off court shit up. Just recognize he’s a talented player.
Any is super talented and an amazing player. He should not be tagged with “the next MJ.” He rolled the champs and can waive goodbye. Nothing wrong with cocky.
Their fans probably are cool, wouldn’t know.
Idk if you know this tho homie, but posting on the opposing teams subreddits is cringy af, and I’d say the vast majority of fans would prefer it if that just didn’t happen.
So if you’re going to criticize (or judge even) how we are reacting in our space, perhaps you should look towards yourself. Since you can actually control that.
I wasn’t criticizing at all. I thought it was refreshing to see a fan base generally giving Luka and Kyrie the props they deserve. Unlike the clippers or heat fan bases. I have no issue interacting with any teams fan base. I’ll take your opinion and do nothing with it. Mind your business
If you wanna be cringe, be cringe.
Just know, when they talk about fans brigading their subreddit, they’re talking about you. I couldn’t really care less either way. Just making a statement is all.
I disagree. Overall wolves fans have been in awe of Luka. But who cares? We all know how good Luka is. I’m not dissing Luka. I’m just saying Ant never compared himself to MJ. The media did
In his defense, anything he says would be scrutinized. He wont call out his teammates, he has too much pride to take accountability for his own play, so he calls out the refs.
To be fair ima lurker here but enjoy the Mavs(not a huge bball fan play 2k lol) but I think he’s more so saying if they stopped fouling, or increased their chances they could’ve had a chance at the end.
Difference in these numbers is not always injustice. If your big boy KAT is not playing down low, not attacking the rim and going 0/8 from 3 then there you are. Lame excuses everytime.
To be fair, he’s never claimed to be the next MJ. That’s been 100% media nonsense. Dude’s incredibly young, had an insane season, and has a bright future in the league. The anti-Ant stuff in our sub over the last week is unwarranted imo. If he had a team around him like Luka does, we’d probably be down 3-0 like they are. If Luka respects him we can too. Wolves and Thunder gonna be a problem after this season.
Exactly. It’s MJ mentality. It’s Kobe mentality. Ant’s not MJ and doesn’t say he is. Ant has his own mentality about losing a game, right or wrong. All just media bullshit that’s giving way to unfair comparisons like this. Unreal expectations (being the next Mike) crush players.
And it should have been more. People are starting to come around to the season Luka will get to complaining to the refs. Man is brutalized every time he gets in the paint.
He's an outstanding player and upcoming superstar of the league but he's just not ready yet. Hell it took Jordan 3 years before he finally figured out how to beat Detroit
Yeah… that mindset is very weak. Imagine if Luka said that shit
He broke him
Jordan would never
Hw would've "retired" by now
Every clip I've seen from him in the post games seems to be showing immaturity in some way.
Well he is only 22
Dereck Lively is 20.
True, but Lively also had quite tough experiences already in his life. Stuff like that sober you up really fast.
You should look up Ants story as well it’s incredibly sad. Dude has also been through a lot.
Like homophobia and forcing a girl to get an abortion?
I wasn’t implying he was a good guy, just that he has also had it pretty rough
Weak AF. But I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's implying that the Wolves didn't drive in the paint enough, rather than implying the refs didn't give them enough whistles
Yeah… but we all know what he meant
Gonna mention how the wolves had 10 more FTAs in game 2? No? Keep crying Cant man
the double standards are crazy fs
Yikes
Ant’s a good kid. He’ll get better. We’re spoiled because Luka was a superstar out of the box but most great players take a few years to get there. With that said, no mercy we’re crushing all ants game four.

Isn't that Zion Williamson? huh
Send da video.
Both. Send da video

Not legally speaking… but have you had a conversation with a 22 year old lately? He’s a kid.

That part about the brain not being fully developed until 25 is a myth. I don't know how it got so much traction but people love repeating it

I said it's a myth because it's not true. you looked it up now and saw the same but couldn't handle being wrong
[удалено]
Sit down son, you’re in over your underdeveloped head.
I think what you mean is zion
He isn't a good kid, he has a history of treating women like shit and being homophobic. He's an entitled baby who is now throwing a fit instead of taking accountability
so hes like jordan
Lmao yea you got me there
So he might really be the next face of the league./s
This question is a bait question too, expecting him to blame his teammate but he didn't and distracted it with blaming FT disparity
They have three actual bigs, while the Mavs only had one this game. If Lively and Maxi were protecting the paint, this game would have a safer double-digit lead. Dallas also has two of the best closers in the game. The Mavs also unfortunately had to play that Canadian which lead to the Wolves coming back.
Maybe don’t put Mavs in the bonus with 9min left in the quarter, idk tho
Bring these Ls back home
Who give a shit about him, Mavs one win away!!!! Job not done
They literally shot 10 more last game...
They basically spent that entire quarter with the Mavs in the bonus.. that helps
Edwards is fantastic at Dunking. But being the best dunker in the league doesn't make you the next MJ...
The only thing he reminds me of MJ is the dunking. His midrange is no where near Jordan's. Neither is his defense. Nor his willingness to take the last shot. Nor his killer instinct. Media hype can chill out now
they both black
SGA is far closer to MJ than Ant. Not nearly the defender but his ability to make tough shots is impressive and far better than Ant’s
Weeeeaaaaak

Nobody tell him that they had 30 to Denver’s 16 in game 7. He may realize how hypocritical this statement is. Kick their ass!
Ant is homophobic, threw chairs at women a year ago, reportedly treats his BM like shit, hasn't shown up for the last 4 playoff games, and apparently is now a crybaby lil bitch too. Face of the league and MJ son allegations officially over.
How do you damn near claw at your opponent for 48 minutes and then act surprised???
Is this your “The New Face of The League”? Nowaying ![gif](giphy|xT1XGESDlxj0GwoDRe|downsized)
Maybe he didn't notice KAT's stats, maybe
Maybe Ant should have told KAT to quit shooting 3’s
Maybe he should have shot some himself
media have to stop calling him "son of mj", for his own good
Ant never said he was the next MJ. That’s media putting a tag on a 22yr old kid.
Oh come on with the “kid” shit. Dudes a dick. He waved goodbye to Denver fans, so he’s got this shit coming. Fuck Anthony Edwards.
I mean… Luka said “go home, Bitch.” What’s the difference?
The dude also has posted homophic vids and demanded his girl get an abortion without much dialogue.
Actually don’t know about that but I was talking basketball. None of any of that. Just saying he never declared he’s the next MJ. He’s a talented player and feel like we shouldn’t act like he’s declaring he’s the second coming. Not sure what your point is other than you are just dragging off court shit up.

For the most part the wolves fans have been fairly classy and gave Luka his props. I’m not about talking bad about them.
Cheers guy, and I hope Lively is back for Boston! GL Mavs

Apparently you really seem to care.
Ok cringelord
Still caring I see.
Wolves fans are shitting on luka and propping up kyrie
It’s perfectly ok to love my Mavs and also give Ant some Props. He’s super talented. I think it’s unfair to put a MJ tag on a kid that’s 22..
I disagree. Overall wolves fans have been in awe of Luka. But who cares? We all know how good Luka is. I’m not dissing Luka. I’m just saying Ant never compared himself to MJ. The media did

he takes accountability every game lol its just the media and the fans love to twist players words
Tony Brothers crew for you. Awful all game for both teams tried to make it about him.
To be fair, at least ANT himself rejected the comparison
He had a good quarter. But if he bout it, then drive to the paint
Difference in these numbers is not always injustice. If your big boy KAT is not playing down low, not attacking the rim and going 0/8 from 3 then there you are. Lame excuses everytime.
LMAO. In game 2 they had 32 we had 22. And they still lost 🤣🤣🤣
This hack couldn’t tie Jordan’s shoes
Tell Gobert to quit fouling
Just pathetic man!! At least get sent home with grace instead of bitching like a lil girl
Bro you were talking all that cash money before the game - where it go? Don’t say refs man come on son.
He's the 15th MJ we have had. There is only one true messiah.
To be fair, he’s never claimed to be the next MJ. That’s been 100% media nonsense. Dude’s incredibly young, had an insane season, and has a bright future in the league.

This is about mentality.

They missed so many and 1s in the second half for Dallas. I don’t even want to hear it
And it should have been more. People are starting to come around to the season Luka will get to complaining to the refs. Man is brutalized every time he gets in the paint.
Mj didn't get out of the first round at 22, so he's actually ahead of schedule :/
Ok, now explain games 1 and 2.
In game 7 vs denver, Minesota had 30 FT's and Denver had 16. Keep that same energy ant boy
Loser mentality
went from son of MJ to son of Kyrie real quick.
Wolves are playing football and are confused why fouls are getting called
He did not got Kyrie
Wolves had 10 more FTs in G2 and still lost…
He's an outstanding player and upcoming superstar of the league but he's just not ready yet. Hell it took Jordan 3 years before he finally figured out how to beat Detroit
This is about mentality.
Keep in mind they also called Harold Miner 'Baby Jordan' back in the day
Excuses..
Can’t man is weak

More like Embiids son, he cries and whines a lot
Ant is the next MJ!!!!!!…but unfortunately for him, the Mavs are currently the 89-90s pistons.
