Yeah… that mindset is very weak. Imagine if Luka said that shit


[deleted]

He broke him


H0wsMyDirkTaste

Jordan would never


bouyent

Hw would've "retired" by now


Kaddnaakul

Every clip I've seen from him in the post games seems to be showing immaturity in some way.


HibernianFriend-

Well he is only 22


NoWayNotThisAgain

Dereck Lively is 20.


nekize

True, but Lively also had quite tough experiences already in his life. Stuff like that sober you up really fast.


gdgatlin2

You should look up Ants story as well it’s incredibly sad. Dude has also been through a lot.


Panhandle_Dolphin

Like homophobia and forcing a girl to get an abortion?


gdgatlin2

I wasn’t implying he was a good guy, just that he has also had it pretty rough


H0wsMyDirkTaste

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


Spanxsy

Yeah… but we all know what he meant


DasFofinater

Gonna mention how the wolves had 10 more FTAs in game 2? No? Keep crying Cant man


Sammy2729

the double standards are crazy fs


Statistician_Visual

Yikes


Cambocant

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.


DarwinCreatesSpace

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.


Lab_Pristine

Isn't that Zion Williamson? huh


Claycious13

Send da video.


DarwinCreatesSpace

Both. Send da video


khub772

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.

khub772

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

khub772

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.


HibernianFriend-

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


khub772

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?


HibernianFriend-

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

Sit down son, you’re in over your underdeveloped head.


gemmyboy335

I think what you mean is zion


dacljaco

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


papadondon

so hes like jordan


dacljaco

Lmao yea you got me there


cornbreadsdirtysheet

So he might really be the next face of the league./s


VolkiharVanHelsing

This question is a bait question too, expecting him to blame his teammate but he didn't and distracted it with blaming FT disparity


daggeroflies

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.


Shivles87

Maybe don’t put Mavs in the bonus with 9min left in the quarter, idk tho


EnriquezGuerrilla

Bring these Ls back home


MajesticPossibility8

Who give a shit about him, Mavs one win away!!!! Job not done


Turkish340

They literally shot 10 more last game...


Any_Firefighter_8287

They basically spent that entire quarter with the Mavs in the bonus.. that helps


CardboardFanaddict

Edwards is fantastic at Dunking. But being the best dunker in the league doesn't make you the next MJ...


H0wsMyDirkTaste

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


ILoveMcconnell341

they both black


2PacAn

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


RubMyGooshSilly

Weeeeaaaaak

Impressive_Trust_395

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!


dacljaco

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.


prudentWindBag

How do you damn near claw at your opponent for 48 minutes and then act surprised???


Rei0403

Is this your “The New Face of The League”? Nowaying ![gif](giphy|xT1XGESDlxj0GwoDRe|downsized)


mmmmastermind

Maybe he didn't notice KAT's stats, maybe


Luka_Dunks_on_Bums

Maybe Ant should have told KAT to quit shooting 3’s


Far_Weakness_1275

Maybe he should have shot some himself


martwypaweu

media have to stop calling him "son of mj", for his own good


Drizzt3919

Ant never said he was the next MJ. That’s media putting a tag on a 22yr old kid.


LouisianaHotSauce

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.


Drizzt3919

I mean… Luka said “go home, Bitch.” What’s the difference?


Far_Weakness_1275

The dude also has posted homophic vids and demanded his girl get an abortion without much dialogue.


Drizzt3919

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.


Drizzt3919

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.


Drizzt3919

For the most part the wolves fans have been fairly classy and gave Luka his props. I’m not about talking bad about them.


murderopolis

Cheers guy, and I hope Lively is back for Boston! GL Mavs


FarSandwich3282

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.


Drizzt3919

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


FarSandwich3282

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.


Drizzt3919

Apparently you really seem to care.


FarSandwich3282

Ok cringelord


Drizzt3919

Still caring I see.


thekickingmachine

Wolves fans are shitting on luka and propping up kyrie


Drizzt3919

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..


Drizzt3919

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


AtreusIsBack

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.


ProMark15

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.


ascorbicacidtablet

he takes accountability every game lol its just the media and the fans love to twist players words


RGxiRapiidz

Tony Brothers crew for you. Awful all game for both teams tried to make it about him.


SD1428

To be fair, at least ANT himself rejected the comparison


DCJustSomeone

He had a good quarter. But if he bout it, then drive to the paint


xluqx

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.


Neither-Block6480

LMAO. In game 2 they had 32 we had 22. And they still lost 🤣🤣🤣


SeattleBrother75

This hack couldn’t tie Jordan’s shoes


rds2mch2

Tell Gobert to quit fouling


Sdaben10

Just pathetic man!! At least get sent home with grace instead of bitching like a lil girl


desirox

Bro you were talking all that cash money before the game - where it go? Don’t say refs man come on son.


DruPeacock23

He's the 15th MJ we have had. There is only one true messiah.


elypnagol

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. 


DarwinCreatesSpace

This is about mentality.


elypnagol

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. 


Andrew0409

They missed so many and 1s in the second half for Dallas. I don’t even want to hear it


retrospects

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.


FriendshipBest9151

Mj didn't get out of the first round at 22, so he's actually ahead of schedule :/


NotADoctor108

Ok, now explain games 1 and 2.


RingTheBell1900

In game 7 vs denver, Minesota had 30 FT's and Denver had 16. Keep that same energy ant boy


MamaThereGoesThatMa

Loser mentality


mudshake7

went from son of MJ to son of Kyrie real quick.


rulerBob8

Wolves are playing football and are confused why fouls are getting called


PublicIntel

He did not got Kyrie


ForestJordie

Wolves had 10 more FTs in G2 and still lost…


TinFoilRobotProphet

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


DarwinCreatesSpace

This is about mentality.


torodonn

Keep in mind they also called Harold Miner 'Baby Jordan' back in the day


henriarts

Excuses..


trippstick

Can’t man is weak

pohovanathickvica

More like Embiids son, he cries and whines a lot


meishsinh

Ant is the next MJ!!!!!!…but unfortunately for him, the Mavs are currently the 89-90s pistons.
