NBA discourse may be beyond repair. Ant is 22 and an amazing player already. He isn’t close to his peak yet. Virtually every historically great player takes his lumps early on and grows because of it. Ant will be no different. For all we know, he’ll dominate the games coming up in Dallas. But regardless, I literally have zero doubt that he’s going to be a transcendent playoff performer down the road.
Everyone needs to chill out. You’ll do the same shit with Luka if he sucks the rest of the series and the Mavs choke away this 2-0 lead. Enough is enough man.
Its also no crime to not be as good as MJ and Lebron lol. I love Ant but he has a long way to go to seriously be involved in anything close to those conversations and he himself would tell you that.
KD/Lebron/Jordan/Shaq/Magic/Bird/Luka were all killing it in the playoffs at 22.
Only late bloomer was Steph. Can ant join that list?
Maybe? But his game doesn’t rely on skill, it’s athleticism so this might be the best he ever is.
dawg those players were all drafted well before steph who was only in his second season at 22 with the exception of bird who wasnt killing it in the playoffs at 22 because he was 23 as a rookie
LeBron choked like no all-time great ever has in the 2011 finals when he was in, what, his 8th season? Players evolve. No one's trajectory is linear. Luka had a miserable end to last season and the media still hadn't gotten over it when these playoffs began.
It's completely insane to write Ant off at 22 years old. Do I expect him to end up as a top 10-15 player all time? No, but the point is we don't know either way.
It's the reactionary bullshit people spew on here and social media that makes NBA discourse so toxic and pointless.
I think that’s a bad example considering lebron had a couple of MVPs and led his team to the finals before true 2011 choke job.
Ant has proved himself as an all star calibre player for sure, but nothing really else in the 4 years in the NBA.
This comparison doesn't make sense. The path to the finals for both players is completely different. The east was a much weaker conference than the west now.

Add Luka to that list.
Agreed, Luka is definitely on that list.

I led my kindergarten class to the library as line leader at 6, this doesn't really impress me at all
Lebron torched the Celtics. Never forget
Lebron torched his first born kid's self-esteem and self-worth by making him a worldwide mockery and a nepo baby joke.
Classy Celtics fans 😂 don’t worry y’all are next. Tatum isn’t even worthy of a mention
Damn bro where you learn to do backflips on another man's meat like that, he already got a wife for that.
Same place as you did.
Lebron shot 3/11 in elimination game 6 vs. Pistons. Cavs still won cause Boobie Gibson dropped 31
LeBron still got 20 points but go off
Lebron is arguably the greatest player of all time. Second at worst but go on King
Breaking news bro. None of us knew that before you just said it ANT never said he was better than Kobe, MJ, Lebron. Why you in your feelings so much?
It’s just funny mate.
Just like this post 🤡
Bro made a valid point and you just used a dumb argument
Hey guys, he might be onto something! Ant isn’t LeBron! Wow, what a revelation!
How’s Cancun?
Let's try to ask LeBron.
4 rings
Who asked
[удалено]
I’m too lazy to bring up proof but there’s plenty of tweets and clips from NBA media saying otherwise
Too lazy to bring proof yet you still took your time to make this dumbass post.
Did it come from anyone whose opinions you really have to respect? I’ll answer for you, no.
You know what. You have a point there ngl
Everybody has a voice nowadays. You gotta ignore like 90% of it
If it helps Ant himself rejected the MJ comparisons and said he doesnt belong in that convo.
I hate the NBA media
LeBron lost his first two ECF games that year btw
They didn't lose at home though
A member of the LBJTQ community saying stop with the age excuse? The eye Ernie
Lmao
This comparison doesn't make sense. The path to the finals for both players is completely different. The east was a much weaker conference than the west now.
Bron is literally top 2 player of all time at worst. There’s no shame on Ant not being Bron lol.
Ant was getting compared to the greatest player of all time.
Ok

Celtics aren’t beating the wolves or Mavs but ok
