[Highlight] VJ Edgecombe DRILLS the go-ahead 3 pointer!
GOD I LOVE HIM LIKE MY SON ALREADY
Love him more, your son is never doing this
u/ShoegazeKaraokeClub’s son: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17TNxdnC7P/
He’s like the son I might have known if God had granted me a son
The seasons die, one by one
Fun ass team
He’s jimmy butler’s son though
It’s time to put VJ on the “can’t go back” Mount Rushmore. Yes, this early
Ice cold. This has been a gem of a game.
Bad defense by Ja. No need to double. Everyone knew VJ wasn’t setting a real screen.
Our whole team has been like that for years. They can’t help themselves. Good 3 point shooter on the perimeter? Better go help the guy 15ft away that has no chance of taking a good shot. It’s absolutely maddening watching them to it OVER AND OVER AND OVER. And worse, they will do it multiple plays in a row (and did that exactly tonight for the same guy).
Yeah, that was just horrendous D. Most rookies don’t botch that play. Such an unserious player.
“most rookies don’t botch that play” is such an unserious take that I have to believe you’re just simply a hater.
It’s one of the quintessential play rookies make mistakes on. Ja should know better than to go so damn hard on a double without getting even threat of an actual screen but still.
Gave me Jimmy butler vibes seeing him talk his shit after that shot lmao
He even looks like young Jimmy tbh
100% all I see is Jimmy in his face. Even has the Jimmy smirk lmao
That’s what sold it for me
Complete with headband! I miss the Jimmy headband days…
I mean, he wears them pretty frequently still, no?
There’s even that meme of him covering his eyes from like 2 games ago.
The ninja headband hit different
Bring that shit back nba ya big ol pussies
Clutchest rookie in some time
Best since the other 77
I’m no longer edging
IM COMBING!!!!!
Combing my pubes after I edge
you got Crabbes?
In an already impressive and memorable season this has to be his top moment
that first half of his first game was amazing, but a clutch 3 in OT is better than
ROTY shit
Its going to be Flagg or Kon. They would totally deserve it but they are the main options on shitty teams where VJ has to defer to Maxey and Embiid so hes not going to get the numbers needed to win.
He’s definitely got my vote
amazing stat line and game winner but respectfully wasn’t even the best rookie in this game
I really like coward. He was very good. I respect your rooting for your team’s player and wouldn’t expect otherwise. But boy do I disagree.
Yesh that’s debatable bro. 10 more boards sure but VJ had 4 steals and 1 block. I’ll take that any day lmao
Whether he has 10 points in the game or 30 he’s always playing hard and affects what’s happening on the floor. It’s only him and Flagg doing that and the way VJ plays in the clutch is top tier for the entire NBA, not just rookies.
There’s no reason for him to be any less than #2 at this point
Kon is really good and impactful too
Kon is having an incredible year and is an insane offensive talent, however, the way that VJ affects the defensive end while also being able to take over clutch games offensively is a level of maturity in the league that rookies shouldn’t have and it’s something he has over Kon
Kon is awesome, but VJ has a way higher ceiling than him and up there with Flagg’s ceiling.
I’m biased but I have 0 complains about Cedric Coward’s effort & he gives us good minutes some way, somehow.
Coward is definitely on my radar after that one, dude was all over the place for 4 quarters
Kid is unreal, feels like every shot in the 4th and OT has been nothing but net
THATS MY ROOK
THE EDGE
He plays like he’s a seasoned player
Most of the time I feel like he genuinely is the highest iq player on the team
THIS MF A DAWGGG
I can’t be the only one who feel like this but he reminds me of Jimmy
The way he celebrates, his personality, his ability to raise his game to the next level
So excited to watch him play
He looks like jimmy, he plays like jimmy, and he speaks like jimmy lol. It’s spooky how similar he is 😂
Has Jimmy’s dad made a trip to the Bahamas around 2004?
Ice cold
THIS ROOKIE MAN
Two fantastic rookie performances tonight from VJ (25-6-4) and Cedric Coward (28-16-4)
VJ is him. What a fucking stud. Just a straight killer.
God he’s so good
THE BAHAMIAN BALLER
Add it to the ROTY highlight reel
Ice water in his veins
damn, like damn
Great shot and looks even cooler on the throwback Grizzlies court
He’s more Jimmy Butler than Jimmy Butler is Jimmy Butler
happy new year for the Philly’s
Court is so cold
best rookie and its not close
I’m a Sixers fan… but it’s close. 7 stud rookies this year but I will say, VJ is the only one starting on a team with a winning record.
He’s him
ofc Ja messes up the play by ball watching and being late to the screen
Edge Lord does it again!
Dude is such an absolute motherfucker already and he’s only 20, he’s already made the misery of last season so worth it
I love this rookie class man!
Wtf was Ja on 🤣
Ja Morant lost on defense? What a shocker!
In Ja’s grill too LOL
That boy good.
not much of a closeout
J in VJ is not for junior. It’s for James! Like the ex sixer James Butler
Fun game. Wish we’d come out on top
Edgecombe is that guy
Most clutch rookie
Is this quiet for anyone else?
Is this clip incredibly quiet for anyone else or just me?
Grizzled Young Vet
Love to see it. Gotta be an automatic switch on the screen though
lol they targeted Ja.
I remember so many pundits saying VJ wasn’t the best pick for us before the draft because his shooting was a question mark.
They should all lose their jobs, bunch of dumbasses. Legit one of the best clutch time shooters in the league this year, as a rookie.
His shooting wasn’t on this level in college. Seems like he worked his ass off in the Summer. He’s been awesome.
People give Morey shit, but he nailed it with this kid and he nailed it with Maxey at freaking 21 overall also. Sure going star hunting didn’t really work out, but it’s not like there were better FA options out there at the time.
God is great, man.
Wasn’t just that shot. He scored 16 points in the 4th Quarter and OT. He’s shooting around 64% in the clutch this year, has multiple game winning shots, and has also made multiple clutch defensive plays to seal games. Kid is the real deal.
Is that considered a moving screen?
I don’t think he has missed a clutch shot all year
no communication by Ja.. Either yell switch or stay glued to your guy
Absolutely awful defense. Why go with the soft trap there?
that’s my fifth best rookie
