Anthony Edwards when Dame hit from behind the logo in the All-Star Game: “He shot that b**** from Yucatan.” Haliburton: “Is that a real place?” Edwards: “Nah, that’s how far that b**** was.”

    Yucatán Peninsulites big mad this morning.

    This is 100% relatable because I have definitely heard the word Yucatan before but had no idea what it was or where it is, so if I said it in a sentence and someone questioned if it was a real place I would say nope

  3. SquimJim

    I think the lob part was just as funny.

    “Nah coach, nah nah nah. Ima keep 100. That bitch is gonna go over the backboard.”

    lmao

    Anthony Edwards our greatest living American

    It seems like a lot of the players agree Ant is one of the funniest guys in the league, KAT said similar stuff on his episode of PG’s podcast.

    Get ready to learn geography buddy.

    PG not trying to hear about Dames logo shots

    Crazy to not know anything about the Yucatán or the Mayans and Aztecs that settled there and then go and play the game of basketball that was inspired by the Ancient Mayan ball game, pok-a-tok. Public school is a massive L right now…

    Yogi Berra for a new generation. Lets hope it includes the same # of MVP’s and Championships.

  11. DooflesMcFloofles

    Weird amount of people upset over Yucatán right now lol

    When he said “you know I be A1 from day 1” I knew this kid would be special

  13. DontBeCommenting

    I hope the next NBA team is in Yucatan

  14. Pimpwerx

    Yucatan, directly adjacent to Neverland.

    Pretty sure Ant knew it was a real place and said he didn’t just to emphasize how far the shot was and make the joke funnier. If he’s heard of it before why would he assume it’s fictional?

    Haliburton was the dumb one here.

  16. Professional athletes are generally pretty fucking stupid. Makes sense when you devote your entire life to playing a game rather than on intellectual pursuits, which I suppose is fine, but underscores precisely why no one should look to athletes for insight on issues that actually matter.

    And then ya’ll want players to play in Mexico City

  18. No-Enthusiasm5510

    These dudes ball and make a living at it. They don’t need a whole lot of knowledge

  19. Smenderhoff

    He shoots ball good. You want maps? Hire a geographizer

  20. Queefsweatt

    “Choppas come from Yucatán!! You the man you the man”

    Young Dro

    That’s what Ant was referring too

  21. brightblade13

    I am 10000% here for Ant becoming the face of the League.

    This is so funny to me because I almost could’ve *sworn* I saw Haliburton in Tulum (Yucatan peninsula) in June.

    We pulled up to this spot called Taboo and there was a guy chillin outside in front of his party bus, and he was the spitting image of Tyrese. I figured it probably wasn’t him just based on the context (I don’t think an NBA star would be standing around randomly, waiting at the door of a bus), but now I have final confirmation that it wasn’t him lol.

  23. Dom-Izzy

    This is on the same level as Klay saying Finland is in Norway

    *&* they’re podcasting from señor frogs in Cancún
