If Ant is MJ's son, then McDaniels is Scottie Pippen's son.
Dont be gassed up we won't remember what u did
He really is that dog. He’s so shy and quiet but is a monster. Love this dude.
Jaden smiling i will take that lol
Perk has 36 dogs? What??!
Only Malika can get Jayden Daniels in front of to the camera👀
Jaden do got a lil bag tho just too many better options can’t wait to see him add more to this offense tho 🔥🔥
Yes he is 😊😊
Best defender 1-4 well buddy there’s a guy named bam who’s underrated and locks up players 1-5 no matter what position
I'm glad he made a good comeback from last year after he got into a fight with the wall 🧱
Ant about to get this man a big payday. Props to Ant, maaaaan!
It just seems like the Wolves have a lot of humble and nice guys……until they get on the court. Then they become Wolves 🙂
Good job young man! Keep up that hard work and the rewards will follow!
Love Jaden man, relatable nba player, pure passion sometimes mistaken for bad attitude
That's what they said about DPOY runner-up Mikal Bridges, but Luka did him like a rag doll.
Hell, lil Brunson did too.
Minnesota have the best wing and paint defenders in the league…it is ridiculous.
You’re the best because you learn from the best : Rudy
Why dis audio sound staticy
Top 5 defenders
Gobert
McDaniels
Bam
AD
Caruso
I love your content Malika
We love to see Jaden smile! He's such a serious killer on the court.
Jaden McDaniels went to school down the road from me its so cool to see him shining in the nba especially the playoffs
This team came a long way since they once had a mediocre team like Chase Budinger, Alexey Shved, Gorgui Dieng, Nikola Pekovic, Ricky Rubio, and etc and they definitely deserve a ring and Antman and the Timberwolves are something special
Jaden might not make a defensive team this year but something tells me this’ll be the last time that happens.
Minnesota will massacre the Celtics if they meet in the Finals.
Man it’s exciting to see a great team balance of offense and defense and the chemistry is undeniable
He not better than wemby
The leader Ant is is so evident in every teammate that gets interviewed. People talk about 10 year vets the way AE’s teammate talk about him.
Close your eyes you will hear D Rose 😂😂😂
Every player on the Wolves could try to take the glory but instead choose to defer credit to their teammates. Kat credits Ant all the time. Ant hyping up Jaden. And Jaden in an interview about his defense hypes up Rudy. Special time to be a wolves fan!!!!
Extremely rare glimpse of Jaden smiling.
I believe Jaden has a little to do with the rise of Ant. Going against Jaden in practice probably harder than the guys Ant has to face in games.
Met this dude after a wolves W, was pretty shy, really chill humble and polite. Glad I got to tell him he’s first team all defense in person.
Perk is nice❤
Love Jaden, nice guy but a stone cold killer on the court. I remember he got in a mix up with Booker last series and called him a B to his face😄. Iron sharpens iron, as Jaden and Antman are guarding each other in practice. Antman has to go against arguably the best perimeter defender, and Jaden has to guard Ant who is probably a top 5 player right now if we are being honest.
Perk has 36 Frenchies. What?!
we gotta see him, og and bridges together
Slim is on ESPN no way
Future DPOY
Jaden Minnesota loves you ❤ you the best defender on the team and our defense win everyday baby!!!! 💪
The reason why this team is so dangerous is due to the fact they always pay homage to each other. They finna be a force to be reckoned with for years to come!
This is what a real DAWG looks like
NAW & ORDER
JD looks a great guy out of the court but in it he’s 💯 % focus… I like him 🫡
Jaden seatbelt McDaniels! 🔥
36 French bulldogs is wild
I hate these TV interviews in the middle of the series. Y'all finish the job first. Then talk. Because if you don't, you're gonna be a joke.
He has to be a two-way player
He really be foulin hackin
