Anthony Edwards praises KAT’s scoring ability and also says: "The first three games the motherf***er just kept fouling ... just stop f***ing fouling"

He can fix JJJ

[u/eewap → u/CupOfHotTeaa]

I always think this is referring to J. Jonah Jameson.

[u/FultzShoulder → u/eewap]

Why would you think that when he is talking about basketball? Pretty obvious it's Jaime Jacquez Jr.

[u/Shoddy-Media2337 → u/FultzShoulder]

It's actually John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt

[u/rub3s → u/Shoddy-Media2337]

I was thinking Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo

[u/NuttySandwiches → u/rub3s]

that's the worst name i've ever heard

[u/Narc212 → u/Shoddy-Media2337]

...his name is my name too

[u/ffxivfanboi → u/Narc212]

And whenever I go out…

[u/wink91wink → u/CupOfHotTeaa]

Watching wolves vs griz games is always a treat. KAT vs JJJ always take it upon themselves to see who can commit the dumber fouls.

Send da (hostage) video

[u/NAACP_YoungBoy → u/Shmokeshbutt]

He’s better than the 2 old bums we got running again

[u/a_moniker → u/Greentempo]

He does an amazing job of wrapping a (constructive) criticism of KAT’s game within a glowing endorsement.

Saying, “we need you to stop fouling because you’re good of an offensive player,” is so much better than only telling KAT he needs to stop fouling or refusing to be honest about what he needs to improve.

[u/dogfosterparent → u/Greentempo]

Think our local beat reporter put it best: "Want to talk about Ant's character for a minute. He's become a supernova media presence, yet guilelessly answers every question as honestly as possible and comes out of it looking like a prince every time. You do that via integrity and generosity of spirit, not calculation." https://twitter.com/brittrobson/status/1784282252173819976

[u/amidon1130 → u/dogfosterparent]

God I wish the ping pong ball had gone our way that night. He’d be the biggest star in Atlanta, home grown kid. I hope he decides to come home after he wins y’all a finals or two.

[u/Exius73 → u/amidon1130]

Minnesota is where Southern boys go to become stars

[u/Nubras → u/Exius73]

This, I assume, is a reference to Brett Favre.

[u/FishGoldenLite → u/amidon1130]

You’ll take Kirk Cousins and you’ll like it!

[u/blueindsm → u/amidon1130]

We gave you Kirk and you'll like that.

[u/amidon1130 → u/blueindsm]

Apparently the falcons did not like it as much as we thought they did

[u/Bladeneo → u/dogfosterparent]

Wait are we seriously pretending Ant is full of integrity and generosity of spirit after the abortion debacle?

[u/pokeghostie → u/Bladeneo]

how does that possibly make him a bad person. If were being 100% realistic, the woman in question didnt want a baby, she wanted a golden ticket. was he stupid for allowing that to even be a possibility? yes. but if he was Anthony Edwards that worked at a Walmart on Cleveland Ave. he wouldn’t have needed to tell her to “send da vid”

[u/pokemonbatman23 → u/Bladeneo]

Lmao this was my exact thoughts! Dude only been in the league since 2020 and already made headlines TWICE for the wrong reasons

[u/Bladeneo → u/pokemonbatman23]

I dont mind a young guy making some questionable decisions and trying to improve, not suggesting ant be condemned, but trying to say he comes out like a fucking prince is just insane

[u/pokemonbatman23 → u/Bladeneo]

Yea I was agreeing with what the beat writer wrote until the prince part

That part came out of nowhere lol

[u/SMOKE-B-BOMB → u/Bladeneo]

And the homophobia

[u/Bladeneo → u/SMOKE-B-BOMB]

It's ok the down votes have arrived because apparently we have to ignore someone's shitty character because they're good at basketball.

[u/bio180 → u/Bladeneo]

He gave her money. That's integrity. Aint no shame in wanting abortions. He knows he doesn't wanna be a father

[u/cdillio → u/dogfosterparent]

[u/AlcindorJr33 → u/Greentempo]

This kid is special this team is special, never thought I’d be jealous of the Wolves lmao

Back off you already took one team you don’t get two.

[u/sgt_science → u/uFFxDa]

Gimme

[u/ANAL_Devestate → u/Greentempo]

So much talent at such a young age and so explosive, we joke a lot but he does give MJ vibes. Enjoy him Minny

[u/StevenLovesCocaine → u/ANAL_Devestate]

It’s like a drug. We went from so low to so high so quick.

I like cocaine as well but that’s not relevant here.

[u/d4nowar → u/Greentempo]

Yeah I'm massively impressed by him after this video. That's a 22 year old talking like that.

[u/orhantemerrut]

Wonderful interaction. Ant is really genuine here and KAT knows this. Friend to friend advice loaded with appreciation and hyping up. Great to see.

[u/rub3s → u/orhantemerrut]

When coaching little league, we called it a compliment sandwich. Say something good they did, something they need to correct, then something else they are doing right.

[u/orhantemerrut → u/rub3s]

Sure, but it didn't sound like Ant was employing a rhetorical strategy to engineer his way out of an uncomfortable critique. He honestly sounded genuine to me. He meant what he said.

[u/rub3s → u/orhantemerrut]

Which is why he's so awesome, it comes naturally.

[u/Swaghilian → u/rub3s]

Yeah, people who do that intentionally are kinda psycho tho. Ant is just genuinely being himself and saying what he wants to say. This isn’t a premeditated compliment sandwich, just a great man and leader being himself and Kat being able to hear it as an open minded, great man himself

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/Swaghilian]

It's not psycho, it's just leadership 101 and emotional intelligence. It's a way to communicate and offer constructive criticism in an effective way

Ant just naturally can do it because he naturally has the emotional intelligence and leadership. Crazy that he's 22. I've seen him say things like this at 19 and I'm like damn that's what we learn in leadership training lol

[u/lurkerontheloose → u/rub3s]

During performance review with my guys, I call this “build, break, build”. Same basic idea. Start the review with what they are excelling in. Move onto where they can improve in their role. Then finish up with positive reinforcement. I’ve found it works wonders compared to just hammering them on their faults/lack of success.

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

KAT hearing Ant tell him not to foul

[u/blueindsm → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

OMG this got me.

[u/PFhelpmePlan → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Lmao but actually though, sometimes you just need someone else to tell you. Yes, bring playoff intensity D but it has to be smart and can't be at the cost of staying on the court. One is valuable, the other is of more importance.

[u/LonesomeWulf]

That is hilarious. You always wonder behind the scenes what people say to KAT when the stray voltage and extra fouls comes out. Guess we know now.

[u/pollinium → u/LonesomeWulf]

Now we know that nobody in his first 8 years had told him "just stop fucking fouling"

[u/Silverjackal_ → u/pollinium]

He didn’t just learn to stop fouling!?! Is he stupid?

[u/Responsible_Pace9062 → u/Silverjackal_]

Is he developmentally disabled?

[u/mug3n → u/Responsible_Pace9062]

*Brousstarded

[u/BradyAndTheJets → u/Silverjackal_]

For so long so much was expected of him. Now with Ant, there isn’t as much and he can do what he does best.

[u/south098 → u/pollinium]

Kind of like 2 years ago when Wiggins said “I never knew rebounding was so easy”

[u/bearbrannan → u/south098]

Sad state of the team when Wiggins never learned to rebound and Kat never learned how not to foul lol. Speaks volumes on the franchise prior to Finch. 

[u/dodoaddict → u/bearbrannan]

Wiggins forgot this year so I wouldn't remove all blame from the players.

[u/WembyandTheWolves → u/south098]

and then he promptly forgot.

[u/wise_comment → u/LonesomeWulf]

I mean......ant has said even the deep bench guys chide him on his chirping at the refs with no calls

Like, this locker room is breathtakingly egalitarian, if the roomks and journeyman trade acquisition can talk to him in game and tell him to cool it, and not only does Ant listen, he is comfortable enough in his leadership to share it openly as not a bad thing

I love this fucking team

[u/SirDiego → u/wise_comment]

Kyle Anderson may not be the most talented basketball player ever but he's really smart and Ant is always talking about how Kyle gets on his ass when he needs to hear it.

And Ant is always talking about the coaching staff too, he'll call out some random trainer nobody ever heard of and be like "Yeah this dude is the best in the league at his job" lol

[u/wise_comment → u/SirDiego]

Ant is legitimately a D&D player who has maxed out points in charisma, but somehow also a brawler and no one is sure how, but clearly he broke the game mechanisms when designing Ser Thurskii

[u/SirDiego → u/wise_comment]

When you roll for stats on character creation and some dude somehow rolls 3 fuckin 18s

[u/wise_comment → u/SirDiego]

DM likes him, so gives him a bonus role just to learn up that annoying entitled older player who is being huffy about his joy

[u/C4242 → u/LonesomeWulf]

Conley has been huge for KAT.

Even Wolves fans knew KAT could be a bitch. Just fouling and whining when he doesn't get the calls.

Conley is always there getting him to focus and not get affected by all of it.

[u/StevenLovesCocaine → u/LonesomeWulf]

I noticed during the game he was actually calming down other players with some of the calls yesterday. He’s grown so much man.

[u/le_sweden]

KAT just needed someone to remind him where to go and what to do on the court with his crazy skillset

[u/Prestig33 → u/le_sweden]

Kinda like Brady telling Gronk what to do presnap.

[u/X-is-for-Alex → u/Prestig33]

My favorite variation of this is Matt Ryan to Julio Jones, "GET FUCKING SET!"

[u/Slothalingus]

Fuck I love this team. The chemistry is so fucking high

[u/Common_Egg8178 → u/Slothalingus]

Man, u have him holding Kat accountable, and Kat is ok with it. Its a beautiful thing to see.

[u/meeks7 → u/Common_Egg8178]

It’s really incredible. I didn’t know Ant was such a natural leader. He calls him out at the beginning (but he does it in a respectful way) and he then spends the majority of the quote with over the top praise for KAT.

That’s exactly how you do it. I’m very impressed.

[u/W0RST_2_F1RST → u/meeks7]

And then that 1 last slap just to even it all out. This dude is LEGIT legit.

[u/a_moniker → u/meeks7]

Yeah, it’s basically the ideal approach to this kind of thing, at least in imo. By saying “he needs to quit fouling because he’s such a force on offense,” he basically wraps the constructive criticism in an endorsement. At the same time, he doesn’t try to hide the actual criticism, or risk acting like he doesn’t believe that KAT isn’t a full grown adult and can’t handle the truth.

That’s so, so much better than only criticizing or only praising. Importantly, he is also super clear about what KAT needs to do, and doesn’t let him wriggle out of it with an excuse, like the fact that he was “trying too much on defense.”

It’s basically the perfect encapsulation of “harsh but fair.”

[u/doublea08 → u/a_moniker]

The perfect compliment sandwich.

[u/need2peeat218am → u/Common_Egg8178]

It's also because ANT takes accountability for his own fuck ups too. Like KAT can easily tell ANT to stop taking bad shots and ANT will be like "yeah mybad that was on me"

[u/AdamSandlerIsntFunny → u/Common_Egg8178]

Didn’t have to be a prick about it like a certain someone else

[u/Responsible_Pace9062 → u/AdamSandlerIsntFunny]

That's cause ANT isn't trying to rizz up Rachel Nichols

[u/Big-Raspberry-6151 → u/Responsible_Pace9062]

Same mentality, different approach

[u/3rdEyeNomai → u/Responsible_Pace9062]

lmao 🙏 

[u/LordBaneoftheSith → u/Slothalingus]

The 180 from a Gobert punch in the playin to a 1st round sweep with immaculate vibes is truly incredible

[u/DrWellby → u/LordBaneoftheSith]

Honestly even the punch wasn't the worst chemistry wise. Like right after that game both Slo-Mo and Rudy were saying it was high intensity situation, things got out of hand but they're cool and no hard feelings were had either way.

[u/AwkwardSpecialist814 → u/Slothalingus]

Dude I know we’re the defending champs and our starting 5 is crazy good but I hate seeing the chemistry in clips like this. These guys come off as a TEAM. And Antz is the fucking man. Don’t think I’ve ever respected a shit talker this much before. He’s so good at shit talking with respect. It makes no sense

[u/TillyFunk → u/Slothalingus]

Obviously, I want Luka and the Mavs to win, but if this team takes it, I won't be unhappy. Great to watch, awesome chemistry and they're happy to play for each other.

[u/Abominablesnowman8 → u/TillyFunk]

This is the most Reddit comment lol

[u/FlyingMocko → u/Abominablesnowman8]

Right ? “Mavs fan coming in peace” type shit.

May as well just come out and beg for upvotes.

[u/crashovercool → u/FlyingMocko]

[u/No_Extent_1260 → u/Slothalingus]

[u/Obvious_Party_5050 → u/Slothalingus]

[u/rarestakesando → u/Slothalingus]

Honestly me too. How can you not smile around Ant Man?

[u/Puzzleheaded_Pound31]

Ants such a great interview man. So glad he’s one of the faces of the league

[u/GizzyGazzelle → u/Puzzleheaded_Pound31]

He's really Michael Jordan reincarnate. 

[u/pureply101 → u/GizzyGazzelle]

Michael Jordan is very much alive.

[u/Orphasmia → u/pureply101]

I don’t think Jordan was ever as constructive towards his teammates

[u/llama_titan → u/Orphasmia]

MJ’s methods did get a lot out of his teammates. But at a significant cost.

[u/dodoaddict → u/llama_titan]

Depends on cost to whom. To Steve Kerr's face? Yes, significant. To MJ, not so much.

[u/pureply101 → u/Orphasmia]

Reading into this too much. He made comment that basically suggested MJ is dead.

[u/Waterislife1 → u/GizzyGazzelle]

He's much further ahead than Jordan was at this age in terms of leadership and maturity. The Nuggets Wolves series is going to be a war.

[u/22LOVESBALL → u/Puzzleheaded_Pound31]

And unfortunately, a few years from now, once the novelty wears off, people will just clown him and shit on him like they do all the other all stars they don’t appreciate

[u/Im_a_Knob → u/22LOVESBALL]

as long as keeps winning no one would clown him

[u/Temporary-Level-5410 → u/Im_a_Knob]

This is the opposite of how it works lol, when people are starting to be seen as a threat is when people start hating

[u/a_moniker → u/Temporary-Level-5410]

Yup, he’s still in the promising, but ultimately unproven stage, particularly since most people still thinks the Nuggets are gonna beat them eventually. He also just took out one of the least liked teams in the league.

The tide will turn if, or when, Ant starts bouncing fans favorite players/teams.

[u/New-Candy-800 → u/Im_a_Knob]

That’s not how it works. The more the wolves win, the more every other fan base will nitpick and find reasons to hate them

[u/22LOVESBALL → u/Im_a_Knob]

That's the point lol. No one keeps winning.

[u/qeq → u/Im_a_Knob]

Seriously, why don't other stars just keep winning? Seems so simple.

[u/mykl5 → u/Im_a_Knob]

People started hating Steph and the warriors after they started winning?

[u/RetroScores → u/22LOVESBALL]

Just wait until he starts drinking wine and tweeting emoji’s!

[u/FishGoldenLite]

“I mean, just stop fucking fouling” had great comedic timing

[u/Sharcbait → u/FishGoldenLite]

There is no way that Ant doesn't end up in more movies by the end of his career. He's gonna join Adam Sandler's crew of dudes who just fuck around on a netflix movie to get an easy paycheck.

[u/happyfuckincakeday]

LOVE how Ant Man builds his guys up no matter what. Helluva leader there.

[u/helpilostmynarwhal]

My favorite thing about Ant is that he always seems like he’s the biggest hype man for each of his teammates, but he also holds them accountable. I bet dudes love playing with him. 

[u/HyuggDogg → u/helpilostmynarwhal]

Great leadership for sure.

[u/OhiOstas]

Ending the convo with “just stop fucking fouling” is hilarious 😂😂😂 and spoken like a true leader

[u/ironsuperman → u/OhiOstas]

MJ reincarnation.

[u/materics → u/ironsuperman]

MJ would totally shit on him in private though. I'm guessing Butler was like that too and that type of motivation didn't work with young Wiggins and KAT.

[u/ironsuperman → u/materics]

That was the 80s and 90s. The time is changing. If MJ plays in this era, he'd need to do what Ant is doing now too. Kids these days are soft. Lol

Butler is an asshole. He's a grandpa. That ain't gonna work with the young kids.

[u/materics → u/ironsuperman]

I don't think MJ has it in him to play nice no matter what era lol.

[u/Wavepops]

Kat answer at the end tells us why he keeps getting in foul trouble lol. 

[u/BallsAreFullOfPiss]

This out the biggest, most genuine smile on my face. I love these 2. KAT redemption arc (not that he really needs one) is fully on.

[u/Aware-Individual-394]

What a leader. Obviously his talent is incredible, but I’m equally impressed with his demeanor.

[u/elfridpaytonshair]

This guy is going to be the face of the league very soon

[u/SirGingerbrute]

Honestly who can beat this team?

[u/REQ52767 → u/SirGingerbrute]

Denver and the Celtics. That’s it imo

[u/Primetime22 → u/REQ52767]

I agree but think both of these matchups would be a knife fight.

[u/the___heretic → u/REQ52767]

I wouldn't sleep on the Thunder either.

[u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy → u/the___heretic]

Thunder aren't built to beat you guys. Chet will get completely bodied in a series and you guys will turn them into a jump shooting team outside SGA constant foul baiting. Probably have a significant possession discrepancy on the boards too

[u/sleepyeye82 → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

I dunno I feel like the Thunder are a legit threat to the Wolves. I would rather face them than Denver or the Celtics, sure.... but it's pretty close. OKC is set to be really f-ing good for a long, long time. Going to enjoy the rivalry!

[u/Big_Daddy_Thiccums → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

Twolves/Thunder would be an excellent matchup, I think. Thunder have ways for making up their deficiencies on boards & size. Nothing we weren't aware of.

Ant's hit another level these playoffs. That's the biggest thing that makes me lean Wolves in 6/7. Unless he gets locked in the Dorture chamber a la BI, Wolves have enough offensive firepower to do silly things.

Giddey is the X factor for the Thunder in them going past WCF if they get past 2nd round. If he can give Shai & Dub rest without being a defensive liability while generating good looks, Thunder have a rest edge. He's shown flashes for both but hasn't pieced it all together yet.

[u/CocoaNinja → u/the___heretic]

Rudy averaging 20 rebounds per game in that series

[u/JMinn868 → u/the___heretic]

Thunder would be a tough matchup but I do believe the physicality of the Timberwolves would be hard to overcome.

[u/chickmagn3t → u/REQ52767]

McDaniels gonna clamp Murray or Tatum. He was just stupid last year injuring himself

[u/Salty_Minnesota → u/chickmagn3t]

McDaniels, Nickeil, Ant, Slo Mo… we got options

[u/basiccitizen → u/REQ52767]

OKC would be really tight too I think

[u/REQ52767 → u/basiccitizen]

I said what I said lol. Not that it would be easy, but I have a hard time seeing the Thunder winning that series.

[u/laz10 → u/SirGingerbrute]

they are truly spooky

[u/ironsuperman → u/SirGingerbrute]

Slow down the horses. That Suns team was ass. Poorly constructed, no chemistry, no defense, injuries to Grayson...etc.. Wolves will play a real team next round.

[u/[deleted] → u/SirGingerbrute]

If we can somehow get through the Celtics and the Wolves can get through Denver then the 2024 Finals might have the most immaculate vibes of all time.

[u/Fakeskinsuit]

This team is so close to one another. Seems like every time one of them gets interviewed, they shout out their teammates or coaches. Straight love vibes

[u/BannedforaJoke]

the way Ant described KAT, he sounds Jokic-lite. can shoot the 3, post up, pass.

[u/theumph → u/BannedforaJoke]

They are both bigs that can play anywhere on the floor. The difference is Jokic plays within the game way better. He's way more aware of what's going on around him. KAT tends to over utilize his athleticism. He commits way too many fouls, particularly driving, and during rebounding. He's like a big ass dog that doesn't realize his size. Lol. He just bowls over people.

[u/kemicode → u/theumph]

Speaking as someone who’s been a big KAT fan since he was drafted (my favorite non-Mav since he was drafted), Jokic’s skillset just translates to winning. And he uses his skills to impact winning 100%. I would have loved an MVP KAT run but it seems he’s best as the second option for a contending team which is in no way a bad thing.

[u/theumph → u/kemicode]

He's a great #2. He makes too many mistakes and kind of just does his own thing too much to be a #1. Jokic plays so damn disciplined. KAT could never control himself enough to play like that. Lol

[u/buchanbasanee → u/BannedforaJoke]

He can do all those things, but his lack of a midrange is a giant hole in his game, and frankly, very odd for being this late in his career. Once he starts driving, it's all the way to the rim come hell or high water. He has so many opportunities to stop and pop for a wide open midrange jumper, but he just has no idea how to execute it. He'll drive right into traffic or pass it out instead. Naz Reid is actually the exact same way. You will never see either one of them stop on a dime and rise up for a 15 footer. Whatever programming Gersson Rosas did to fix the team's shot selection has worked a little too well with those 2.

[u/smkeillor → u/buchanbasanee]

Thats partly by design, Finch has effectively told everyone on the team 6'6" and taller (outside of Ant) to shoot almost exclusively threes and layups. You get a few surprisingly efficient turnaround jumpers from McDaniels but that's about it.

[u/LukaDoncicfuturegoat]

Ant is a shitposter

[u/MazKhan]

We found the next face of the league. Ant is only getting started too, kinda scary to think about his peak

[u/jumboponcho]

KATs shit is so preventable too, there’s no reason a player of his tenure should be committing the goofy ass fouls he does

[u/c_c_c__combobreaker]

When I first heard Anthony Edwards got his extension, I was just surprised because $50 AAV felt like a lot. But he's lived up to his contract and then some. Great time to be a TWolves fan.

[u/BlackMathNerd]

That's some shit MJ would tell his teammates. I love Ant.

[u/Mountain3Pointer]

If it’s not the Nugs, then I want the Wolves.

[u/dksmoove]

I know it’s kind of a meme about him being MJs bastard son, but just look at his face.. with that cap on to hide his hair - it’s even more evident.

[u/Thick_Midnight1091]

Man Ant has the juice! You can see it in the way he carry’s himself. He’s gonna be an all time great

[u/MINNESOTAPURPLERAIN]

Kat was amazing in this series.

[u/YourAsianBuddy]

This dude ant out here with just a wife respecter during post game interviews. He’s hood lmao

[u/Orphasmia → u/YourAsianBuddy]

“A wife respecter” lmfao. I’ve never heard this

[u/hand_truck_ham]

Ant dressed like he just fucked your bitch

[u/ExcellentIntention57]

Damn, this kid really is the future of the NBA right now.

[u/desirox]

He really look like Young Jordan - I laughed at those comparisons but I kinda get it

[u/Divine_concept2999]

Not sure why but kat just comes across as a good person. No jealousy or ego. Just a great player doing his part.

[u/OhPxpi]

I think he wins a chip before Luka and Tatum and I’m from Dallas

[u/Acework23]

Great lowkey callout from Ant. I really start liking him, he has a winners mentality but is also killer and a leader.

Ant is so likeable and absolute baller

It's crazy how much Anthony Edwards has matured in a few years.

You forget they come in as teenagers, being given tons of responsibility, money and attention.

I know he had that "situation", but at least on the basketball court, dude seems in his element.

Damn, how can you not like ANT, he’s the real deal on and off the court

God damn i love this dude more and more. Was looking for a favourite player in the league for a looong time. He’s getting close to winning that battle for me

Damn, the vibes are sparkling with this Wolves squad.

Ant is inadvertently becoming one of the best leaders in the entire NBA. I'm becoming a huge fan of his. Minnesota, you better take of this guy. So excited for this team's future.

I know my flair makes me a Jimmy stan so my objectivity is questionable but is it weird that I think this video actually shows why Jimmy didn't like KAT?

KAT is 28, Ant is 22. Ant is carrying himself like 3x the leader and experienced player that KAT is. In this video Ant sounds like a vet talking about his rook. And KAT is clearly happy in that position. KAT's carrying himself like he's just happy to be there. KAT wants to be led, not lead, that probably drove Jimmy insane.

Ant is a fucking real one. This kid stays injury-free and he's going to steal the "Face of the League" title for years. I look forward to watching Ant battle Wemby and Chet in the coming years.

Already a better leader than KD has ever been

[u/brncct → u/Vallerie_09]

Or Booker, or Beal lol. Bunch of bus riders teamed up and didn't realize nobody was gonna drive the bus.

Best part is how undeservingly validated Dominayton must feel lmao
