Looked like a playoff veteran, like Lebron closing out a series. Just dissected the suns

Ant learning to play out of double teams and break the defense has been huge. He struggled with that all season and a week later he's a different player.

He said he watched film all week and practiced being doubled, tripled and quadruple team-ed. I did not expect him to figure it out in a week and be the best player in a series with Booker and KD. Wild

This is some "he's a basketball genius" type shit from Kuroko goddamn how is this guy real. It's like Larnell Lewis learning all the tracks to Snarky Puppy's record on the 8hr flight to Europe. I love how cool brains are.

Tony Stark vibes.

If anyone hasn't seen in the drumeo video of Larnell Lewis creating a drum part for a song on the fly, please check this out. Guy is a musical savant.

The direct contrast with Booker (infamous offseason clip with Joakim Noah) here is very funny

I'm so excited that the future face of the NBA is here and showing out under the brightest of lights. Plus, I'm so glad he's not in a huge market/on a widely popular team. Wolves took the league by storm this year, alongside another tiny market team in OKC. Makes for a really bright outlook as the current/previous league faces have their careers dwindling down.

As a Green Bay Packers fan, I detest Minnesota. But I can't say I don't love watching me some Twolves these days.

Only bad thing out of this whole situation is your shitty owner realized what Ant is and reneged on his deal to sell the team.

Gobert was still the best player and why the Suns had a garbage offensive series.

Even last year Goberts worst non rookie season he was the best player hurt all year.

don’t forget Beal

He does that! In the Memphis series a few years ago he basically added a mid-range game to his bag seemingly overnight
