They’ll build up a player then tear him down when expectations hit.
Ant 🐜 gotta get out of Minnesota….
Austin Rivers (unsurprisingly) sounds like he has the skills and knowledge that would make a successful coach
Austin had a underrated season, great vet, hope he’s back in minny
Austin Rivers was fantastic on this pod – definitely deserves to be signed somewhere this season too
D Wade wouldn’t pass the ball like Edwards did in the clutch possession.
Lamelo will have a better season then Ant.
Wolves gonna be at least 6th seed and in 2nd round round in the playoffs this season.
That’s what Tatum did!!
As a honest wolves fan they gotta smarten up & move Kat or Rudy. Forcing ant to play with 2 bigs was a atrocious decision when it's been clear he's best with only one of Rudy or Kat on the floor hell even been elite with Naz as the 5 . Accept the L on that trade & build a team that makes sense for your best player
Surprised wolves didn't bring back rivers as that end of the bench guard & vet thought he actually was solid last year up until his injury at the Allstar break . Even played well in the playoffs in the minutes he played
Honestly a bit confused why a low iq, 75% FT shooting, lazy defender who eats junk food is getting so much hype as the next big thing. Scoring is nice but he's not efficient enough to dominate the league with just that. He's also on the t-wolves so I don't see him developing better habits anytime soon.
My favorite nba player fun to watch 🔥
Protect Ant 🌲🐺🐜🐺🌲
Where can i see the whole thing
If I had to choose between Austin and his pops to hire as a head coach, I’d hire Austin even if I had to pay him double the salary and he’s still playing for the Timberwolves. He can coach us when he comes to town and through video calls. We’ll have a bearded avatar guy running after the players with a 27” monitor taped around his midsection.
Misa thinks pasha low key dislikes Austin. Kinda like the rest of us. Dude wears Ima d*k on his forehead. I tune in though to watch him bury himself!
They need to build around Ant and Mac. Get rid of KAT and Rudy and just get what you can for them and continue to strategically add pieces. He just re-signed and is only 22. No need to rush it.
antman got cooked by Lithuania, Canada and Germany
Austin out here spittin' FACTS
Anthony Edwards is my favorite player in the NBA great video 🔥
@ Billsimmons Comparing AR to MJ by referencing MJ betting on his luggage arriving first is a completely dishonest argument. MJ made that bet b/c he would heavily tip the person handling the bags. The point is only bet on a sure thing.pleas stop glazing reeves
Over rating your skills as a player is Austin Rivers speciality! Way to get an expert on the subject matter Bill! Absolutely amazing!
I don’t see ant ever being a guy you can win a championship with if he’s the best player on your team, which is how I’d define superstar. He’s more of a guy that can be an overqualified number 2 player than he is a guy that can single-handedly put his team on his back like Giannis or jokic
The wolves shoukd got synder as a head coach when they had the chance ngl
