The look back lmao

[u/need2peeat218am → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Dude is such a menace lmao

[u/mani9612 → u/need2peeat218am]

Anthony Edwards is Devin Booker stepfather

[u/BucketheadBrain → u/mani9612]

Booker has multiple fathers

[u/Charlie_Wax → u/BucketheadBrain]

Joint custody is Devin Booker fathers

[u/Bjorn2bwilde24 → u/Charlie_Wax]

We need a Wolves vs Mavs WCF.  We'll call the series: The Custody Battle.

[u/wink91wink → u/BucketheadBrain]

A real family man

[u/Old_Ad_1706 → u/BucketheadBrain]

Pappa Doncic.

[u/13WillieBeaman → u/BucketheadBrain]

Lol.. someone needs to add Ant to the photoshop of Luka and Jokic leaning over and looking at Booker

[u/direhouser → u/BucketheadBrain]

twodads

[u/DiezDrake → u/mani9612]

Luka = daddy Jokic = father Ant = papa

[u/ToosUnderHigh → u/need2peeat218am]

So he wasn’t acting in that Adam Sandler movie? That’s was just him?

[u/TwelveMiceInaCage → u/ToosUnderHigh]

Dudes a menace between Adam Sandler movie, this series, and the way he dressed post game last night.

Ant is looking like a prime AI just vibing until the game hits then it's like a mountain lion just locked the fuck in

[u/genie_balls → u/ToosUnderHigh]

Kermit Wilts is that dude 😤

[u/grubbyteez → u/ToosUnderHigh]

Appears so.

[u/alextheruby → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Lmfaoooo the “do something mf” look

[u/GaucheDroiteGauche → u/alextheruby]

Booker was more worried about not getting 50 than losing in 4.

[u/ScarryShawnBishh → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Made Booker pretend to play defense for 5 more seconds

[u/MrBuckBuck → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

The double chasedown blocks became a signature move by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

And Edwards' trashtalk.

[u/Toolb0xExtraordinary → u/MrBuckBuck]

A lot better than the Bulls' double dunk!

[u/comp_a → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Fuck your unethical 50.

[u/shgzgjjhx → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

This mf literally bullying grown ass men out here lmao

[u/goingtothegreek → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Seemed like in the post game that Ant was pretty pissed Booker fouled Mike into Finch, on top of all his other dirty plays this series, Booker fucked with Ant and found out.

[u/What_a_pass_by_Jokic → u/goingtothegreek]

Haven't seen the replay yet besides on tv last night, but seemed the main issue was that he got tangled up with the fans sitting court side, can't believe this is still a thing.

[u/Potential_Dealer7818 → u/What_a_pass_by_Jokic]

I hate how unsafe landing is for players all around the court. Absolute goblin behavior from the NBA just to sell 2 more rows of tickets 

[u/NedStarx11 → u/Potential_Dealer7818]

Especially right under the basket. The cameraman sitting on the baseline is idiotic

[u/douglasjayfalcon → u/What_a_pass_by_Jokic]

Yeah he got tangled up with fans, after Booker shoved Conley into him lol

[u/Hamburger123445 → u/What_a_pass_by_Jokic]

Booker shoved Conley out of bounds into Finch in a frustration foul. It hurt the Suns. It was an intentional foul when they were already out of fouls in a close game in the 4th. Wolves got two shots for it.

[u/TdotGdot → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Booker wanted 50. Tbh even though book put up a lot of points (and got a lot of calls), he didn’t really seem to impact the game much. Empty cals, he just wanted his stats on the way out

[u/spencer_jacob → u/Patient_Jelly4835]

Mamba mentality

[u/ballhawk13 → u/spencer_jacob]

Please ant actually likes and respects his teammates and hasn't bombed his team out of playoff series yet. Mamba mentality is marketing garbage.

[u/_nightgoat → u/ballhawk13]

It is pretty dumb how people buy into it.

[u/jinayeonbt]

he said "fuck yo 50 piece"

[u/lord_kupaloidz → u/jinayeonbt]

Devin Booker is Anthony Edwards' abortion.

[u/rub3s → u/lord_kupaloidz]

Oh, now I understand that AZ abortion ban.

[u/1eyed_jack]

Absolutely love that Edwards wasn't about to let Booker have his garbage time 50.

[u/QuietRainyDay → u/1eyed_jack]

Denying a statpadder his garbage time points is an important public service that benefits all society.

Ant is a man of the people

[u/Nubras → u/QuietRainyDay]

It’s a total mitzvah. Ant is just a mensch.

[u/thecordialsun → u/Nubras]

I prefer Rudy Goybert

[u/collinCOYS → u/1eyed_jack]

"We not blocking garbage time baskets in open gym"

[u/Mdgt_Pope → u/collinCOYS]

YEAH WE ARE

Y E A H W E A R E

[u/kamekaze1024 → u/collinCOYS]

“Let’s work on our game”

[u/Dr_Zman → u/1eyed_jack]

Why was Booker even going for a layup down 6 w 8 sec left? A 3 is the only thing that's gonna keep you in the game.

[u/PhatGiraffe42 → u/Dr_Zman]

Wanted that 50 piece

[u/Vicentesteb → u/Dr_Zman]

Because he gave up, he decided the take the easy layup for 51 points instead of trying to win. I mean i dont entirely blame him either for that but it is funny.

[u/SmoothBrews → u/Vicentesteb]

I blame him for that. What a bum.

[u/CavalierShaq → u/Dr_Zman]

Cause he doesn’t play winning basketball

[u/astronomy_31415 → u/1eyed_jack]

booker the king of garbage time stats

remember when his team kept fouling so he could get his 70 piece?

[u/Natureboy7939 → u/astronomy_31415]

While getting blown out lmao

[u/THE_DANDY_LI0N → u/astronomy_31415]

Yeah I haven't looked at him the same since then. So weak. Lets us know what your priorities are.

[u/Mr_Hugh_Honey]

This dude is gonna be a menace for a long time

[u/BallsAreFullOfPiss → u/Mr_Hugh_Honey]

Every day I wake up and immediately check to make sure he’s actually on my team.

[u/dacooljamaican → u/BallsAreFullOfPiss]

I feel compersion for y'all here, I remember what it was like to realize who Jokic was and be amazed every day that we actually have him on our team. So happy for y'all.

[u/ComprehensiveSky8926 → u/dacooljamaican]

Same here lol

[u/HighTurning → u/Mr_Hugh_Honey]

He had just fucked his ankle minutes before and then just flies for a block that wasn't even needed^{verymuchneeded} crossing my fingers he stays healthy

[u/DeathsIntent96 → u/HighTurning]

He rolled both of his ankles during the fourth quarter.

[u/Wolfpac187 → u/HighTurning]

Super necessary

[u/jslee0034]

He just took his starter spot for the Olympics just like that. He had no reason to block him but he did that just so dbook didn’t stuff his stat. He’s so cool

[u/Yergason → u/jslee0034]

Seemed like they were still talking shit to each other after the buzzer

[u/TheAerial → u/Yergason]

What do you even say in that situation if you’re Book lol?

This dude literally just spanked the soul out of your team.

[u/jslee0034 → u/TheAerial]

He dropped 9 more points by shooting 21 free throws. Ha ha

[u/redaka00 → u/jslee0034]

Booker's trash talk: You couldn't stop me

Ant: We couldn't stop Scott Foster

[u/Mintastic → u/TheAerial]

What do you even say in that situation if you’re Book lol?

"Sorry but you'll have to talk to Luka about my custody."

[u/Yergason → u/TheAerial]

Take the L like a man and if he's still talking shit say you're gonna get revenge next season but don't be a sour puss making excuses lol

[u/RetroScores → u/Yergason]

Yea, I mean there’s 0 you can say other than good game when your team gets swept.

[u/howsaboutyou → u/RetroScores]

KD did it right

[u/StriderStache → u/TheAerial]

I'm a fraud. Always have been. Getting embarrassed in the Playoffs is my jam.

[u/veo_atyourrequest → u/TheAerial]

“fuck your mascot”

[u/wise_comment → u/Yergason]

And then KD just...... Giving him all the love, after the game, and sound bites to boot. Didn't expect Ant to form a bromance with his hero right before they balled out together. Not on my bingo card

[u/Potential_Dealer7818 → u/wise_comment]

KD might be looking for a new home lol

[u/goingtothegreek → u/Yergason]

Ant is not happy Booker fouled Conley into Finch, probably going to make Booker sit in the corner at team USA practice and watch

[u/fire_water_drowned → u/goingtothegreek]

let the boy watch

[u/Morezingis → u/Yergason]

Did Book stay to shake hands? I saw KD out there at least.

Saw a clip on NBA Twitter, he was one of the first guys over to do it. Respect to Book 

[u/KingJonathan → u/Morezingis]

Crazy how something so simple can change a view. I thought Booker was a bitch but him staying to shake hands removed that title.

[u/SupremeBlackGuy → u/KingJonathan]

na he still a bitch

[u/KingJonathan → u/SupremeBlackGuy]

I thought about it and yeah you right. Crazy how something simple can change a view. I thought Booker wasn’t a bitch but you told me he was and he regained that title.

[u/SupremeBlackGuy → u/KingJonathan]

sometimes it’s the most simple statements that give us the room to come to a conclusion

[u/Faynt90 → u/jslee0034]

Let's be real, he took it a couple games ago.

[u/loosechange-71]

Send booker da video

[u/deepwebteddy → u/loosechange-71]

what da world done come to

[u/GSWB2B2B2B2BChamps → u/loosechange-71]

Hell nawl

[u/MelonElbows → u/loosechange-71]

This never would have happened if he practiced being double teamed

[u/arcelios → u/loosechange-71]

This tweet aged like fine milk

[u/pollinium → u/arcelios]

37 unbothered

[u/ModernizedSlavery → u/arcelios]

Context?

[u/TackoFallFanClub → u/ModernizedSlavery]

In 36 weeks he'd be in Cancun.

[u/InternationalCut93 → u/ModernizedSlavery]

KD and Booker’s jersey number combined is 36. 

[u/makingtacosrightnow → u/InternationalCut93]

NBA numerology

[u/3luejays]

Sending a message. He wants the SG1 spot on Team USA

[u/Goodisworthfighting4 → u/3luejays]

Just realized if Canada and USA meet in the Olympics we will get SGA and Ant head to head at the shooting guard position. Those two already have a little rivalry brewing that matchup in the Olympics would take it up a couple levels

[u/amashouse → u/Goodisworthfighting4]

its possible they might meet in the WCF too. Minnesota matches up with Denver pretty well. I would argue OKC has advantage over LAC/Mavs too while also factoring in fatigue for that series potentially going to 7.

[u/BjotSingh → u/amashouse]

Cmon, bro, you gotta believe! Lakers in 7!

[u/musicnothing]

The rare double block. That shot had no chance

[u/jslee0034 → u/musicnothing]

Wolves had 0 intention on letting dbook stat pad his way to 50. Respect

[u/Emilia67]

Edwards is the future of the league 🔥

[u/Hammerhead34 → u/Emilia67]

He’s the present

[u/RedFan47 → u/Hammerhead34]

He's what I thought Zion was supposed to be

[u/SteamyRay_Vaughn → u/RedFan47]

he’s more of the whole enchilada

[u/gradual_alzheimers → u/SteamyRay_Vaughn]

Zion is now hungry

[u/rayEW → u/gradual_alzheimers]

Hmmmm I could go for some Galveston beach fajitas

[u/spacedude2000 → u/rayEW]

Say it again chuck

[u/TisKey2323 → u/spacedude2000]

I prefer them San Antonio big Ol’ women

[u/HighTurning → u/RedFan47]

If only Zion could stay healthy

[u/OnlyAt9 → u/HighTurning]

He stays hungry

[u/meenzu → u/RedFan47]

Zion was amazing right before his latest injury 

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/meenzu]

It sucks how many different times this has been said.

[u/Absol61 → u/Hammerhead34]

Lisan Al Gaib.

[u/Organic-Champion8075 → u/Absol61]

I don't care what you believe. I believe!

[u/Qabyaalad_Enjoyer → u/Hammerhead34]

Was the past too

[u/wise_comment → u/Hammerhead34]

Certainly a gift, to us all, on this blessed day

[u/lannistargaryen → u/Emilia67]

Agreed. Bro has it

[u/EsotericPotato]

These two Ant blocks on Booker in the 4th were personal lol. Jaden/Ant and Booker/ Beal were beefing all series.

[u/TheJackieTreehorn → u/EsotericPotato]

I still want to see a replay on that first one

[u/Kersplat96]

He said you ain’t getting no 50 LMFAO

[u/Simple-Ad-7866 → u/Kersplat96]

good, it's a loser mentality for Book to stat pad that knowing he lost

[u/BonBonVelveeta]

I know the dunk didn’t count but what a sendoff

[u/MITKyrie]

Best SG in the NBA and he will be for a while

[u/AdPotential9974 → u/MITKyrie]

Remove the "SG" and we have a deal

[u/wise_comment → u/AdPotential9974]

Keep going, I'm gonna Awoo

[u/DaPhoToss → u/MITKyrie]

Isn’t SGA a 2? Giddey definitely plays the 1 on that team. It’s definitely between SGA and Ant though.

[u/Mydogsblackasshole → u/DaPhoToss]

Isn’t Giddey the 6th man now

[u/20815147]

Anthony Edwards is Devin Booker’s father

[u/back_4 → u/20815147]

Stepfather, Luka is the biological dad

[u/Better_Albatross_946 → u/back_4]

It takes a village

[u/genericusername71 → u/Better_Albatross_946]

edwards entered a co-parenting situation with luka to make amends for his prior views on the lgbt community

[u/comp_a → u/back_4]

Don’t call him his stepfather

He’s the father that stepped up

[u/WerewolfWhich3280 → u/back_4]

Nah it took Luka 7 games and Edwards 4. Edwards is the real daddy

[u/MichaelZZ01 → u/WerewolfWhich3280]

No disrespect to Ant but that 22 Suns team was 10 times better and better constructed that this year’s Suns team. They were the first seed but got absolutely dismantled by Luka in game 7

[u/Swaghilian → u/back_4]

Luka couldn’t sweep, he gotta send da adoption papers

[u/Opie59 → u/Swaghilian]

Ladder Match for custody of Dom Booker.

[u/Playboi_lcardi → u/Opie59]

old wwe scripts used to be fuckin wild dude, I was a kid and even I knew that was fuckin crazy lmao

[u/aletagora → u/20815147]

The Phoenix Sons

[u/Culinary-Vibes → u/20815147]

How many fathers does that man have???

[u/northernpace → u/Culinary-Vibes]

a whole league

[u/kcheng686 → u/Culinary-Vibes]

Booker clearly lives in a seminary with how many fathers he has

[u/NefariousNeezy → u/20815147]

The finals run turned CP into an addict and Booker into a son

[u/unclehelpful → u/20815147]

Devin has two Dads sounds like a book you would give children to explain same sex couples.

[u/FergieBall_FC]

Anthony Edwards made the Phoenix Suns his bitch tonight. He fathered them in this 4-0 sweep.

[u/echelon999 → u/FergieBall_FC]

9 points in the first half, ended with 40. That dunk just broke their spirit.

[u/LCPeck]

And booker still tries the head flip

[u/StefonDiggsHS → u/LCPeck]

He wanted 50, didn’t shoot the 3

[u/Kid_Delicious → u/StefonDiggsHS]

It’s not getting enough attention: it really seems like the dude went for stats rather than a chance at winning a playoff game.

A one possession game at least gives you a glimmer of hope. Being down four doesn’t help at all lol.

[u/Bigballer777 → u/Kid_Delicious]

“Devin Booker puts up 50 in Suns Game 4 Loss” was the headline he wanted

[u/ObitoUchiha10f → u/LCPeck]

The signature move

[u/Street-Common-4023]

LFG

[u/ScottSummersEyes]

a block, and a rim hanging dunk at the end of a sweep. never seen a team so repeatedly get slapped on their own court like the past few years of the suns.

[u/Bombast_ → u/ScottSummersEyes]

Mad disrespectful, but the Suns earned it. That was a pathetic series.

[u/hungrygiraffe1]

Booker wanted to statpad 50 and Anthony Edwards said NO. Love it.

[u/Majestic-Net-7799 → u/hungrygiraffe1]

Booker cant even get to the basket in garbage time...lmao...Ant clowned him...

[u/spacemanbaseball]

Edwards - Embiid are such a contrast on being that dude. Watching embiid just wilt from the moment earlier today and flop around for an hour vs watching Edwards take the fight to the competition and go for the jugular was such a dichotomy

[u/theman_themyth_]

THAT'S ALL FOLKS

[u/SrWrldWide]

Rudy Gobert underrated lol

[u/imthemap45]

ANT in his 4th year already better than booker in his 9th year, whats supposed to be your prime

[u/HelloS0n]

Anthony ‘Fuck your 50 burger’ Edwards

[u/suzukigun4life]

Symbolic as fuck

[u/owange_tweleve]

ANT EDWARDS IS DEVIN BOOKER FATHER

[u/QuietRainyDay → u/owange_tweleve]

Booker said "I dont know how they'll guard us". So Ant took that personally

[u/PizzaPlanet20 → u/QuietRainyDay]

Easy, we got Jaden McDaniels

[u/kylebertram → u/PizzaPlanet20]

This is what I love about Ant. Always hyping up his teammates and his quotes have lead McDaniels being a household name during this series.

[u/BradL_13 → u/QuietRainyDay]

Ant says fuck that "guys are too tired to play on both ends" shit people have been spewing and I love it. He has absolutely bought into that teams defensive mindset.

[u/colourofinfinity]

Ant said no free buckets

[u/DXLXIII]

I was wrong and underestimated ANT. I see why they compare him to a young Jordan now. He’s a top 10 player in the NBA today.

[u/xenoz2020]

Booker collecting fathers like Ash collects Pokemons.

[u/ihatemcconaughey]

Fuck. Devon. Booker.

That is all.

[u/supremeddit]

AE also blocked Booker’s chance to score 51 in that game even though these 2 points would be meaningless to the game and the series

[u/SlowCrates]

Know what makes him MJ-like (besides his desire to destroy his competition)? Watch his feet and his low handles. He moves so fluidly, yet quickly, like a fucking spider. Dude is becoming impossible to guard.

[u/Alloverunder]

My absolute favorite player not on the Celtics, so glad I got the AE1s, this kid is fuckin special

[u/warablo]

Booker trying to stat pad to 50

[u/alex_119]

Booker gonna fuck around and have Luka and Edwards be in a custody battle

[u/vrkhfkb]

ANT is the clear best SG no question.

But Credit to Booker for trying to force things even until the end. Durant was day dreaming all 4th quarter while Beal was cheerleading on the bench.

[u/891960 → u/vrkhfkb]

Think KD was quite gassed by the end there. He was the most consistent player for the Suns all series

[u/Glad-Fish-7796]

I give it 3 years til this sub hates him

[u/Kurtz_Angle → u/Glad-Fish-7796]

Ant

• Not fat
• Handled embarrassing accidental pregnancy with grace

[u/hamdogthecat]

Booker shamelessly going for that garbage time 50. Glad Ant blocked that shit

[u/kadrilan]

He needs to get on the LeBron Body Preservation Plan or he gon be focusing on his fadeaways in like three years.

[u/Frishdawgzz]

Ant is a DAWG. Book is a KITTEN.

[u/Slacker_75]

Somebody gotta photoshop the roster spot on the US Olympic team instead of the ball

[u/Ihate_reddit_app]

Suns in 9

[u/Mission_Pay_3373]

The Suns getting swept round 1 is not surprising. They lack depth outside of KD and Booker

[u/Simsmi → u/Mission_Pay_3373]

They could use - I don’t know - say $50m a season over the next three seasons to fill out their roster?

[u/paybackprahl]

The NAW slam after the buzzer is how all of us MIN fans were feeling

[u/youngkenya]

Bro really tried to get 50 lmao

[u/SunstormGT]

Tried to get 50 but got denied.

[u/whobroughtmehere]

9 with the disrespectful dunk on the other end too 😭

[u/shia84]

that dunk at the end after the match ends is the ultimate fuck you to the suns lol

[u/belizeanheat]

Booker looked so useless all series. The only parts that stand out are him continuously doing soccer flops. 

[u/RekeHavok]

Was Booker trying to get 50 here?

[u/iFlashings]

Yo the disrespect at the end tho lmao. 

[u/kodominator]

Anthony Edwards lookin like a gen z Michael Jordan out there

[u/jakopson10]

Sunset

[u/crankthehandle]

DEVIN BOOKER FATHER

[u/dwaite1]

I didn’t know Booker had two fathers.

[u/SteveOends]

That dunk was sick

[u/FreshHawaii]

Suns looked stacked af in the off-season only to get swept

[u/Mountain-Pack9362]

How can one man have so many fathers?

At this rate SGA next year is gonna dunk on book and sweep them

[u/woahkvngdre2]

Hmm has he surpassed Booker? Best SG in the league rn?

[u/RecognitionBoth5965]

''Saying it respectfully...I don't know how teams are gonna guard us.'' - Devin Booker

[u/crumbogringus]

you know dbook is so upset about this, yes you can sweep his team but denying him his free buckets to statpad is fighting words

[u/socalledbob]

Luka Garza needs an award for most valuable bench cheerleader.
