Full question and quote:
Q: Ant you had your 5th 30-point game in the postseason, that passes Kobe Bryant for 2nd most for a player 21 and younger behind only Lebron James. What does it mean to you to be mentioned in the same air as those players?
>”It’s just stats. Um I haven’t…those guys won championships. So you can’t mention me with them. I mean numberwise yeah I have 30 point games but I haven’t done anything. I haven’t made it out the first round, it’s great to be mentioned with those guys but I still have work to do.”

Only 21 years old. People thought Fox was a disappointment just a couple years ago and look at him and the Kings now. Be patient Wolves fans, you have something here.
He is so good
This guys become my favorite non-Sixer. It’s crazy the knock on him was he doesn’t love basketball but yet you get this quote from him.

The more Ant develops, the more disappointment I have for KAT. KAT’s lucky for having a 21 year old veteran leader in the team.
He’s gotta get above league average efficiency in the regular season before we can even begin to consider this guy a “superstar” let alone compare him to all-time greats
This kid is saying all the right words. I remember LeBron always answers interviews like that when he was young (until now).
I just hope Minnesota won’t waste him like KG. They got Ant and Jaden, that future ain’t that bleak
This is why I always hate these “first person since” stats or other random stats to try and include somebody with the greats. If you look hard enough you can find a way to compare any player to one of the greats. This shit is honestly getting ridiculous and I’m tired of seeing it all the time. He’s right, the only thing it means is that you score a lot on a team that can’t get out of the first round
Ant is the anti-Ja
Damn. Really loving Ant more and more.
Love his attitude and he is humble.
I will cheer for this guy. Hard to find this sort of mentality for such a young player. Go Ant man!
I remember DRose saying the same exact thing, before winning MVP and going to Conf finals. 🤔
I stan!
I gotta ask Wolves fans when did his mentality change? I remember back in 2020 there were questions about his commitment to the game. But this season he has a Regen Kobe mentality.
Step 1 – get out of Minnesota. 101M next year for Kat Gobert and Conley…
the bizarro memphis grizzlies player
The franchise player the Wolves need to build around.
He says all the right things
Gobert was such a mistake.
Anthony Edwards is made of all the right stuff! His future is so bright
Wolves have a dude here, clearly. I don’t know how much else they have that contributes to a contending team. Jaden McDaniels, Conley? Trade Gobert, trade KAT, and start building solely around Ant. That’s how you supercharge this. Let there be no question at all about whose team this is.
21… insane how good he is. Minesota better not fuck things up with him. He could be that guy.
Kobe had Shaq. Gobert ain’t no Shaq
I LOVE YOU ANT
Ant is just wholesome! Has the right mindset and knows how to behave as a pro. And was great in Hustle. What can he not do?!
