I’m from Italy and Anthony Edwards name echoes across the world right now.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I love that!
❤️❤️❤️
No it doesn’t. He is about to get smoked by joker 🃏
@@TheHaagendazs0 What’s that you say?
Sports media has got to start talking about the Timberwolves in some depth. This is a very complete team.
I’d argue that the Wolves and Nuggets are the two most complete teams in the NBA. Both teams also have incredible chemistry from top to bottom it seems.
They don’t like to talk about the wolves and Vikings over here in fly over country. And we’re okay with it.
@@ljvueVikings suck tho
Adrian Peterson did get a lot of national attention. When Vikings have an all time great they pay attention. Moss too
@daa_97 the Vikings may not be superbowl contenders but they definitely don't suck. Not many team's can miss the playoffs by basically one game with starting 4 QBs and having 20 plus players on the IR.
Ant and JJettas blessing Minnesota right now
Kirill as well, 3 young stars in Minnesota.
@@matthewwhite4505Kirill so smooth, NEEDS to be in the playoffs every year
@@matthewwhite4505and Royce Lewis once he stays healthy hitting grand slams left and right.
Happy to be a Minnesotan rn
Facts bro we on the way ✊🏾
Anthony Edwards makes watching NBA basketball so fun. Love seeing the national media gets so giddy when talking about him.
I’m not gonna lie I was almost done wit basketball sga luka and ant and jovic
@@Jesusismyday1the new era is truly special
About time
Minnesota has a super star in every sport right now. ANT, Justin Jefferson, Royce Lewis and Kaprizov
Just wish Royce would stay healthy. But he’s incredible.
And no championships. As a matter of fact your new qb has a chip...for Michigan😂
Wolves are built to win this season.
Facts and our home grown players are stars also
Idk about royce and kaprizov. You are smoking something good
Ant is a Killer. The league has been missing this energy for so long, and I'm here for it.
Ant is cold as hell bro
Fvckin SAVAGE! That dunk over KD? Oh my goodness!
Bro he is a dog .
Why is this the best team in the NBA to watch? They play defense and its beautiful. 90's and 00' basketball is back.
Ant Man is only 22, he is not in his prime yet.
That’s is crazy scary
Crazy fact: Anthony Edwards is tied with Kevin Garnett with SEVEN 30 point games in the playoffs (A Timberwolves record) at age 22!! Unbelievable.
@@thorfinsky1427I believe he broke that record in game 4, he had it in game 3 and broke it in game 4
@@thorfinsky1427 He broke the record.
He broke that record already bro in game 4@@thorfinsky1427
I'm a 64 year old who actually was there when Bird and Magic came into the NBA, used to watch every Bulls game in MJ's rookie year to see the phenom (games on CBS with Brent Musburger and Pat O'Brien). I always want to watch players who have the talent to do something you have never seen before, Kobe was obviously one of those. Ant Man is now that guy, remember the game winning block he did at the end of the season (against Pacers?), that was unreal. The dunks are amazing but what impresses me the most is his mid-range pull ups and fade aways, when he shoots those it reminds me of MJ.. This kid has it all and I can't wait to watch him as much as possible, he is the deal.
First best of 7 sweep in ALL MN sports history!
We knew he would be this good after his first playoff series.
Love this kid! Great time to be a Wolves fan! Been a long time in suffering and he makes it worth it!! Wolves baby!!!
2:54 i mean, just stop f**ing fouling 💀
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah…😂
You can take the kid out if ATL, but you can't take ATL out the kid!! Rock that Braves cap, AE!!!
It's Hotsota in Mpls right now
Absolutely amazing week to be a Minnesota sports fan
Vikings smash the first round of the draft. Get McCarthy and Dallas Turner. Future looking BRIGHT.
Wolves sweep the Suns for their first ever sweep in Franchise history and only the 2nd time in Franchise history they’ve advanced past the first round.
Twins on a 7 game winning streak and have pulled themselves out of the depths of hell.
Wild probably enjoying some golf so you have to be happy for them there.
He’s the next best young American player in the league
timberwolves have a legit shot at it all....and that round 2 matchup with the very worthy defending champs is gonna be "make the popcorn" and watch every second.
Think its going 7 and Denver probably takes it but it isnt a lock. That 22yo LOVES playing on someone else's home court. The "kill everything in front of me" happened in phx after game 3 on the Suns home court. Then he went out and did what we saw last nite.
you tell them Charley... Denver could win the series, everyone is going to pick denver to win the series. But now we all will see who's league its gonna be for the next 10 years.
I also wanna add how much i love how kat is a man about it. And agrees, he wants to win and is playing what he needs to. Man needs more credit for allowing things to go the way they naturally are going. And karl is only 28, so they will have a hell of duo. With a 3rd piece to give karl some rest time.
💯 I've been pounding the table to trade KAT for years. I've changed my tune. He's in the perfect role now.
That 3rd piece is.....Naz Reid.
@@thorfinsky1427 u might be right. Another 5 time all starish type player. Like their Dennis. Karl def can be a 8 time all star or more.
Durant is a real one. Ant has arrived ‼️🔥
The way K.D. handled the last post game was truly awesome and respectful.
Ant Man flushed a nasty dunk with funk on Beal and Durant. Straight mean-mugged that one.
Killin everything in front of him 😂
@CorePathway
Yes, he did dat. He did dat, indeed
Yes we want more Rich Eisen NBA playoffs video's. Especially the Wolves Nuggets series
Born and raised in Minnesota. Been watching since I was about 10 years old and saw the start up when we had KG and that super team in 03-04. After all the miserable years we went through this is finally a team we can be proud of. I’ve watched almost every single game including the draft when the wolves drafted Anthony Edwards. I have probably 200 to 300 of his rookie cards. I knew that he was going to be, changing this franchise. it’s just one series, but the future looks very bright in Minnesota! The wolves are the most complete team they have ever been in franchise history. When Towns got injured this year, I said this will be a huge blessing in disguise. It truly has been, it allowed other players to step up. Now that he is back, he got to see from afar how to utilize his abilities. Anthony Edwards is not Michael Jordan, he is Anthony Edwards! People need to stop comparing the two. Just enjoy the ride, everyone! 🐺🌲
Same man. It's been a long miserable road and we finally have something
@@dondrechsel7384 it’s been really fun to watch bro! 😎
Everything Anthony Edwards comes down to hard work just love it still early days but they can do it.
Rich, we need voices like you SUPPORTING Ant if he wants to make Minnesota his home. Other “unsexy” markets have had their chance: San Antonio, Denver, Chicago… It’s been a long time since Minnesota’s first team was stolen after it became the league’s first dynasty. Minnesota fans have put in many hard years. If the media immediately start pressuring Ant to leave the team that fostered him and built around him, and it works, it will break the sport for places like Minnesota.
Chicago definitely isn't an "unsexy" market. Utah and OKC are though.
@@lewalcindor9356 Tell me who went to Chicago before MJ, and who seeks out Chicago now.
@@jon-quijano It was gonna be Rose, really too bad
Holy crap that really was reminiscent of MJ 😂
Ant might be the best to ever do it when all is said and done.
Woah now, but yeah, he HIM
I’m excited man. Wemby, ANT, Ja, SGA, Brunson and the list goes on for the next 10-15 years!!!
closest to mj. he still got time to be something even crazier
He’s incredible.
it reminds me of 1991, when the Bulls FINALLY broke out of the East and Magic and Bird had to acknowledge that 'Mike got the League now'
Anthony Edwards has been balling ever since he was on ER and Revenge of the Nerds.
Don't forget Northern Exposure
Ant Man has arrived and im here for it all. Signed by a Dubs fan. Go TWolves!
i can undeniably say, we saw it coming his first two years, and knew it was coming these following 2 years. Ant is gonna be a problem! The wolves were mocked for the Rudy trade, which has unequivocally launched Ant to winning basketball and culture to where now you all can finally see him for what we saw in him.
This is Jordan at the Olympics with the dream team where MJ walked into a room that Bird and Magic were chatting in and said he was new sheriff in town!
I actually am interested in the NBA right now.
Haven't been since about 1993.
It just got to be too much of a "ME!!" sport.
In the 80's you had a whole Lakers team and it was called Showtime. Kareem, Magic, Cooper, Worthy and Rambis.
All of those guys played pivotal roles.
Same with the Celtics, the Pistons, the Jazz.
Suddenly, it became about ONE player on a team. Jordan, Barkley, Shaq, Kobe. (Until they teamed up)
I used to look for the Bird highlight videos be ause he was SO ridiculous.
Now, I watch Ant videos for the same reason.
And it couldn't happen to a more deserving fan base and franchise.
I have been a wolves fan since the organization started when i was a kid, It would be nice to watch them win a championship.
With KD, Steph and LeBron turning in their careers... it's time we saw the ascension
Never in my life did I say “let’s go watch the timberwolves play in Minnesota” lol
lol where are you from
Welcome. It’s been cold and quiet here since 2004 but this team is built to win now. It’s fun to watch the country fall in love with ant like we have
Wolves new exactly what they had in Edwards. They don't make the Gobert trade if they didn't.
Ant is MJ with the skill polish of Kobe , we looking at 3.0. forget 6 rings that ain't happening again with the talent league wide going forward. But his game itself is flawless.
Ant even wears the same leg and arm bands as MJ lol
That my antman
That's literally MJ's son
Hilarious 😂
I liked this dude way better than Ja. Wasn't even comparable in my eyes. But this Anthony, just wow!
The next superstar ❤❤😊😊
Love how all these national commentators are now finally fully recognizing Ant for what he is and will be. Same as I see them finally noticing Wolves as legitimate contender for the title where they all thought we were pretenders and a fluke. Been watching every single game this year (and last year) and the people of MN already knew what these guys are just learning. Ant and Wolves are for real. Ant headed down the MJ and Kobe path, bank it.
Awooo
Sounds like MJ 💯 leadership mindset
ANT is different!
At one point in the Coach's life he probably said he'd give his knee to have Michael Jordan on his team.
He doesn't look like Jordan, he looks like Nelly.
The moment I saw Anthony Edwards in a preseason game against the Lakers in '22, I knew he was gone make the jump that he did. In like the 1st or 2nd preseason game, his preparation and focus was like he was getting ready for the Finals. At that point he was working on his 3pt shot. I immediately said once he has that it's over. LeBron and AD didn't play that game but you can tell they was amazed just by his preseason performance
That sound just like MJ
Ant he reminds me a lot of Kobe
UGA is obviously much better at football, but us Dawgs fans that paid attention knew this day would inevitably come. Lifelong Hawks fan here but am rooting for Ant. Dude's an absolute DAWG 😤
LOL, UGA was a coffee break to the NBA.
Ant, SGA, Haliburton, Luka. ❤
Anthony Edwards is special
Timberwolves fans have known that ant is going to be the best for 2 years now! Glad you coasties caught up, YOU didn't know he was going to be this good, but we did! Don't discount KAT like that either, he's one of the best players in the nba, and ant won't win any championships without him!
ANT not wrong on KAT fouling. Kat be forcing contact and faking fouls to draw calls. KAT way to talented to be playing mind games just because it playoff, he has the skills to just beat anyone who guard him without resorting to that kind of pettiness.
They didn’t think Anthony edwards the #1 overall pick in a NBA draft was gonna be good
That explains why KD went home so early…. Now he can watch every dribble Ant makes for the rest of the playoffs. From his couch just like the rest of us. Or he could afford to go to each game and watch in person.
Durant is joining Minn next season.
T wolves fans saw it coming ant himself tried telling yall he was coming and now yall barely watching and still doubting. JUST WATCH !
It's going to be hilarious to watch the media turn on him when they get beat in 5 by Denver.
Boy, are you gonna be in for a shock.
Timberwolves just furloughed the suns
ANT is the next GOAT
Twolves knew he was good. We been saying it for 4 YEARS. Media just catching up. Thats what happens when the NBA gives the Wolves 6 national games.
Kat is a court klutz and gets himself into trouble. We all see Kat leave games when he fouls.
I saw it coming lol. Y’all late.
Captain hindsight
Ok...Kyle
The lost son of MJ.... Gotta love it
Minnesota better not let this man walk out the door , he literally took this team from Kat .. he’s the clear leader
MJ himself compared him.. obviously he hasn't accomplished what he has, but their games are similar
I know people want to say he is 22 but its his 3rd playoff series...d wade in his 3rd playoffs won the title as the go to guy avg. 37 7.3 3.3 2 and 1 and in the finals...he was 23 earlier that year...lets relax on overating him after 1 round....kobe at 22 was doing this for a 15-1 playoff champ
Why is everyone surprised?
Phoenix Sucks... Fact. Proof? SWEPT
All that worry about Minnesota and it had a BETTER RECORD THAN THE SUNS LMAO
Don't forget this TWOLVES team.. yeah they were 1 game out from the #1 seed in the west. Don't TREAT THEM LIKE A 3 SEED. WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE 3 SUPER TEAMS IN THE WEST AND DONT FORGET IT. YOU BOUT TO SEE WHO IS NUMBER 1
Suns already lost by drafted #1
MJ sons Kobe, Kawhi, and Antman 😮💨
He does look like MJ stop saying that because he dark skinned lol
I think his style of play and the way he carries himself is more the reason people say he looks like MJ. In other words, he plays like MJ and has the competitive demeanor of MJ. That is how he looks like MJ. But does sort of look like him too.
Derrick Rose comp. Stay fit young wolf.
Lol no
Well could the old school basketball having a rebirth?
It's been a flop happy 22 years lol...
Can men play like men again??
And the rebirth of all places MINNESOTA!
GO WOLFS !
KAT and AD are typical U of K big men: Finesse shooters but aren't alpha dogs.
Anthony Edwards has done something no one but Michael Jordan did. GET MINNESOTANS TO ACTUALLY WATCH BASKETBALL.
You must be pretty young, Minnesota had Kevin Garnett run in the late 90s and early 2000s. We also have great local Bball scene here, State has produced some great local talent from Chet Holmgren, Paige Buckers, Amir Coffey, Jalen Suggs to name a few. National media is the one sleeping in the wolves.
People are crazy about basketball in Minnesota
@@shawnanderson6313 Nope, I was 5 years old when the Timberwolves joined the league, and LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN MINNESOTA, I watched hockey, even when the North Stars were stolen from us, I would watch College Hockey over Basketball, and when I did watch the NBA it was only when Michael Jordan was on. For us Basketball players were the kids who couldn't skate.
Moniker checks out.
@@lazyidiotofthemonth I guess we hung out in different circle. I grew up in the city, which is not more diverse. We love basketball.
