I don’t always agree with SAS, but he’s right you know.

Watch the 2nd half of that game last night and try to say he didn’t remind you of MJ or Kobe taking over a game in their prime.

The last couple of years many Wolves fans would be like “I know this sounds crazy, but he’s basically MJ.” And now EVERYONE is saying it. I just cannot believe how lucky we are to have such talent. I really feel like Ant will go down as the best player in Minnesota sport’s history.

I think if Ant leads MN to a title this year and plays to this same caliber on that run, we can start having conversations about him being a *potential* all time great. One playoff series win is a bit early for me though.

Stephen A Smith is an arrogant tool. People have been saying that for weeks now including MJ. Smith is a band wagon phony.

I mean he has 2 7 footers, a lockdown perimeter SF, and a left handed PG. Its fate really.

I love Ant. I love that Ant is on my team. I love that other people love Ant. I love that other people love my team.
This is crazy.

All of this is just funny to me. Ant has been this guy for a while now and it’s painfully obvious that none of them (national media) have ever even watched him play a full game before.
There were so many games this year watching by myself late at night where I found myself thinking no one in the media realizes this yet because we get no national TV games, but he’s ascending to be the best player in the league.
During the regular season he’d go 1 on 3 just because he was bored at times and do some incredible stuff – on a nightly basis. I’m glad everyone is finally taking notice but they are lagging behind by 1-2 years. It’s pathetic that he wasn’t even really mentioned as an MVP candidate.

Early years LeBron was kind of in there also…

We’ve been saying this since year 1 in MN.

Hard to argue with him when he’s averaging 30 ppg(or more now after that series?) on good efficiency in the playoffs at 22 and taking over games at the end. Only those guys have done that.

Sell that shit, SAS. But real ones been known

I love that everyone is seeing it now.
They’re even discovering “Pippen” McDaniels and thinking that’s new too. It’s cute.

Can this guy retire? He has said too much nonsense

as a lifelong minnesota sports fan, I cannot even process the idea of having someone as good as Edwards on the team I cheer for. I don’t know what to do right now.

He’s gotta win a championship or three like this before he will go down in that category but he’s on the trajectory!

Just a friendly reminder: the kid is 22. Imagine how high his ceiling is.

Hot take: Kawhi was closer to MJ than Kobe ever was.
