During the NBA conference finals this year, the printed milk crates with Ant’s face on to find him. He was nowhere to be seen against the Mavs. Luka was disappointed and said, he always wanted to play against Ant one day.

I think he was saying overall not specific players. I can agree he should’ve explained it better but of course we take it and run with it 🤷🏽♀️

and Edwards deserved every single word of it! Edwards is a great young talent, but he has’t won anything yet. players back then were talented and had egos too!

I’ll give Ant a pass he’s young and immature. Give him some time, but all these superstars have moments that make us say hmmm. Jordan gambling, kobe and the girl, LeBron the decision, Magic, KD, and so on. This is probably his true nature that will lead to us looking at him like hmmm. But Antman has to know that some young kat coming up after he’s done will evaluate him and say HE WASN’T THAT GOOD😮

Notice how SAS mostly mentioned players before MJs prime. I think Ants statement was towards players during MJs prime. Meaning MJ had no competition. Cause we know MJ couldn’t get through prime Pistons, Celtics, and Lakers.

If the “inventions” today are always better than in the past, why can’t NASA go to the moon again? why can’t we build the pyramids again?

Shannon is too soft… he considers the truth harsh word. Some dude thinks he is better than every past player except for Jordan and he cant be put in his place? That is the problem with the new generation… without accomplishing anything and they think they are the best…

It’s hilarious how everyone says today’s athletes are better because of the higher level of nutrition and coaching etc. Yet every season how many of these so called better athletes cannot play full 82 game season because of injuries and yet in the past I guarantee most of the players played more games back then compared to today/ despite all the advantages today’s generation has. The excuses made for athletes today are beyond ridiculous.
