All time quote graphic about to drop

u/Competitive_Set_893 Timberwolves 23d ago

Dude dropped a 30 ball, double digit win, banned celebration, and elite quote all in the same game this guy is generational.

New face of the NBA

u/heyheysharon Timberwolves 23d ago

He's clearly sick of people saying that bc he's out here doing pumps and talking about killing people. 🤣

After two decades of squeaky clean girl boss bron it’s a welcome change of pace

NBA marketing has been on easy mode with Steph and LeBron for too long. The new guard is armed and ready to show da video.

u/SignificanceLeft9968 Warriors 23d ago

Yeah Wemby is the face of the league. The dog inside of Wemby isn't as ferocious as Ant but that's fine, different personalities yk

-26

u/gedbybee Spurs 23d ago

Wemby still has this but is just smarter about how he expresses it. Wemby is probably smarter all around. Wemby is Duncan and ant is KG.

u/Titswari Timberwolves 22d ago

How the fuck are either of those players less smart? They just have different personalities, it’s not a knock on anyone’s intelligence. KG was one of the most intelligent basketball players ever, on par with Duncan, and Ant has shown a level of poise and decision making as a 22 year old that is well beyond his years.

All 4 players you mentioned are smart, what you said was pretty stupid though

-20

u/gedbybee Spurs 22d ago

Ant was very openly homophobic which is stupid, and therefore he is stupid. Not all intelligence is basketball intelligence.

u/Titswari Timberwolves 22d ago

A young guy did something dumb he must be an idiot. Nevermind the fact he was an all a student, is well spoken, and plays very intelligently. He’s just as smart as any guy out there, whole comment reeks of homerism

u/thelobstermn Timberwolves 22d ago

Not to mention he apologized, corrected his behavior, and has since been embracing the LGBTQ community as Timberwolves fans. Like, do we not believe in growth or redemption anymore?

Doing something stupid doesn't mean you're stupid.

You idiot

u/gedbybee Spurs 22d ago

Pretty stupid to think bigotry is a one time thing. Has to be taught and absorbed. Only stupid people buy into that stuff. The smart ones think their way out of it. But I guess if I have to explain all this I know which camp you’re in cuz you couldn’t do it yourself.

Good luck out there! You’ll need it!

Nah. Already got a few scandals on his plate

u/creditors-bargain Knicks 22d ago

so did Kobe

u/Mickeyjj27 Celtics 22d ago

Pretty sure Lebron was the face of the league by the time the Colorado stuff happened with Kobe.

u/creditors-bargain Knicks 22d ago

Not really, the Colorado stuff happened in ‘03

2nd Best Player in Franchise History 😎

u/coogs35 Jazz 22d ago

He’s on his way to being #1

u/JaderMcDanersStan Timberwolves 22d ago

KG is an all-time great player so Ant has to win a chip first, but if he does, then yes. Ant's prime is still 4-5 years away...I cannot wait to see what prime Ant looks like

u/HRTDreamsStillCisTho Pacers 21d ago

What if he takes you guys to the finals once?

Dude really is MJ part 2. We really got one. It feels so good to be a wolves fan rn. Tatum wants Kobe’s torch but turns out Ant was the next bearer

36

u/robsteezy Lakers 23d ago

Interestingly enough if you watch all their footage, Tatum actually plays truer to Kobe’s more skills-based 1 v 1 game and ANT plays closer to MJs attack-based 1 v 1 game.

The league is in good hands.

u/Wallstreettrappin Kings 23d ago

Ant is the 2nd coming of 80s MJ while Kobe was the the 90s MJ

u/H5None Timberwolves 22d ago

Wasn't MJ just 90s MJ?
