The Next Face Of The NBA

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberowlves have been the story of the NBA Playoffs so far. After registering their first series sweep in franchise history when they dispatched the Phoenix Suns in the first round, the Timberwolves have shockingly taken the first two games of their series with the defending champion Denver Nuggets. In the process, Anthony Edwards has emerged as the breakthrough star of the playoffs and now has a golden opportunity to establish himself as the next face of the NBA…

If Ant beats the shit out of both nuggets and Celtics, this would be an S tier/God tier playoff run lmao

[guillermoportillo]

ANT just has that IT factor. It’s impossible to measure, see, or put in a statistic, but you know someone has it when you see it.

Players like Luka, Jalen Brunson, and Anthony Edwards. These are some of the players that have that IT factor.

Once I found the famous meme “they got KD, but we got Jaden McDaniel.” by Ant Man himself, I knew that he was gonna be my new favorite player lol. Plus it doesn’t hurt that he’s balling out in the playoffs.

[M-Cherian]

Ant has it all - the drive, the winning mentality, the ability to elevate his teammates, his consistency, and his ability to stay healthy despite his physical play - plus he is very charismatic and charming. He absolutely could be tge face of the league if he continually plays this well.
And as a NBA fan, I am thrilled.

I will say that the emergence of Anthony Edwards into a superstar and Victor Wembamyama winning ROTY in the same season probably puts Zion Williamson out of "face of the league" conversations at least for right now; this was Zion's best season so far and he still couldn't make the playoffs. When Ja comes back next season that'll be another player that has currently eclipsed him, Zion will still be an amazing player but currently he's achieving the least out of his contemporaries.

I really thought next season would be his time to shine but he already destroyed expectations in this exceptional current playoff run. Next season MVP!

[jayanthsambaraju]

My favorite part is him bringing his teammates up with him. Especially KAT and Gobert who have had lots of both fair and unfair criticism against them throughout their careers

FINALLY a wolves centric vid waiting so long for this they aint ready for us

If theres anything to say about the wolves? Every single win they have you kinda just go "they fukin deserve it" cause holy fuck, playing like a team and giving 110% effort.
They remind me of the 2004 pistons, the rely on numbers, defense and one killer on the floor, but lets agree this killer is an enhanced Billups

I feel like you guys are forgetting the 2006 Heat run with Dwyane Wade

[lightbeforethetunnel]

As a longtime Wolves fan, im just happy the Wolves and Ant are finally getting tbe attention they've deserved all year.

[MusicLover-myfo]

I think if Ja wasn't injured that the Grizzlies would be in the playoffs for sure right now. I will say the one "good thing" about Ja's absence is that the Grizzlies will probably get a high draft pick next season and can use that as leverage to get a better piece since the Grizzlies have a good foundation, it just fell off without Ja on the court.

[TheSiemek]

You can’t even get Ant’s swingman (white one) jersey online. That’s crazy.

This is something I told a bunch of people a couple of years ago. That the days of "1 or 2 faces of the NBA" is over. The league is so talented with franchise players and talented teams you can't just have 1. There is 6 right now in the playoffs. The given being Ant, Brunson, Luka, SGA, Joker, Tyrese. And there is like 4 not in the playoffs Giannis and Paolo were but got eliminated, we all know wemby is legit, and all jokes aside ja morant is legit too. It's truly an exciting time to be watching basketball that's for sure

[provide_r]

This has to be the only wild take i had in the last year that paid dividends back supremely lol. Im glad i took a chance on the wolves haha

[nicksirju]

ANT, SGA, Luka. Depending on which country they come from it's all about preference. Example: In Canada, we believe that SGA is the face of Candian Basketball.
And in America, y'all believe that ANT is the face of American Basketball.

[guzzy]

If Ant doesn't want to be compared to MJ he should stop playing like MJ.

[MyWifeMadeMeChangeMyName]

I hadn't followed basketball closely for years after D Rose got injured multiple times and Jimmy Butler got traded from the Bulls. It hurt way too much after what could have been.

Then in 2022 I randomly see Ant's dunk over Yuta Watanabe, AS A ROOKIE, and immediately decide I need to follow this guy - he's gonna be something special.

Two years later I'm still a Bulls fan at heart but I've watched almost every Wolves game that I can since then (thanks League Pass). And I'd say I'm a bigger Ant Man fan than I am of any one team. And it feels good 😎

[hmohngcheelee]

I think there's another guy who can also become the face of the nba, SGA. These two dudes have great post feetwork (Shaq would say), they thrive in the mid range, both play defense. And have a little rivalry going on themselves, I'd like to see those two guys face off in the western finals.
