Anthony Edwards: “I aint gonna lie, Wemby set the tone. He came out playing hard so it’s hard not to match that so sh*t that’s what happened. Sorry for my language, that’s what happened though. I’m trying to beat him the in jump ball.”
“I ain’t making excuses. I just need a little advantage against him [Wemby]. He eight feet tall. I’m six feet. He eight feet.”
Rounding Wemby from 7’4” to 8 feet and rounding himself down from 6’5” to 6 feet lmao
Anyway thats how it probably feels tho
Has to be surreal for some of these guys going from freakishly tall in general society and at least eye level with your absurdly tall peers to getting straight up dwarfed
I’m 6’6,” and it IS freaky when you bump into people taller than you. Now the NBA dudes are used to it, but there’s an upper limit. Usually.
Anyone taller than me is gross, anyone shorter than me is normal
Even at 6’3 when I bump into a 6’4 guy I’m like “okay calm down ya showoff”
I’m 8’5” and when I see someone that’s 8’6” I’m like what the actual fuck
I have a 4 inch cock and whenever I see someone with a 5 inch cock I’m like yoooo
Oh yeah I remember that time we stood face to face with each other and got boners and mine touched you and yours didn’t touch me
You all look the same from up here
I’m 3’11” and when I see someone that’s 4’0” I’m like what the actual fuck
Based on your username I’m guessing you have an immaculate beard
Wemby is to him what the average basketball player is to the average person.
The average height to NBA height (5’9” vs 6’7”) is smaller than Ant to Wemby (6’4” to 7’3”)
yeah you have to go by percentage difference though
that’s 69 inches vs 79 inches and 76 inches vs 87 inches, which actually both come out to 87.3% lmao
i mean, 6’5” is below 6.5 feet so he can round down
not while rounding 7’4” to 8 ft 😭
wemby is like 6’16” which more than 6’12” so we can round up to 8’
freedom math
5’11” vs. 6’0”
He is a lot taller than 7 foot 4
yeah, 8 feet, we know
Wemby is taller than 7’4” he’s grown since he got that measurement. He’s closer to 7’6” or 7’7” even now (with shoes). He was eye to eye with 7’6” Tacko Fall.
Ant is closer to 6’4 he’s got the bulldog frame like Dwayne Wade.
But yeah Ant is a funny dude
He’s noticeably shorter than 7’5” Tacko Fall.
Zach Edey and Luke Kornet were eye to eye when they jumped against each other early in the season.
Wemby is his height, and quite a few other players have been exaggerating their heights.
no he’s not. did you not see the pics from the ASG?
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTfpX29AzZAaYNAZ-D2ekiVC4UVTvHSBoHtjA&s
I saw the videos that were all over social media, where Wemby had to look up at Fall.
That photo is from someone at ground level, and that perspective skews the height difference.
Tacko Fall is confirmed to be 7’5 and 1⁄4” tall barefoot, and Wemby is confirmed to be 7’4” barefoot. That matches what I saw on video at tipoff of the celeb game.
I mean that’s probably how it would feel like to play against Anthony Edward’s as someone who is 5’5”
Its a part of the shit talk
lmfaoooooo
Ant is a hyperbolic shit talker. In his next interview, he’ll probably say Wemby is 9 feet.
“I mean, shit, he’s 8 feet tall!!” 👽👽👽👽👽
I truly think he is closer to 8 feet than the 7’4” they say he is.
People like to say Yao is 7’7” but he’s like my favorite convenience store, 7-Eleven.
Higher brothers just jumped in my head - haven’t thought of them in years
“My chains new, gold watch made in China” was banging back in the day
Miss that era - 88 rising at the peak was such a vibe
Ant rounding down his height for the bit too 🤣
He’s at least 7’6”
Wingspan increased the difference!
This was an incredible interview. Send da pic
You got da money what’s the holdup
“He 8 inches, i’m only 6 inches”
Yea! That’s our Ant-Man!!!
Should just put a microphone on him for every game. Would be iconic
I tried to explain to my wife who is watching her first season with me that Ant is abit immature but a good kind(for the most part) She watched this interview and was smiling like a goof.
Haha I love this guy bro
This mf is literally Michael Jordan’s son
Damn MJ is ANT and Jimmy Butler’s father? That’s crazy
Ant is unfiltered MJ. Jimmy is elite whistle MJ
0 rings between fake MJ sons, while Otto Porter Jr. the fake Wilt son has one
Let it go homie.
ANT Post Games > MJs Post Games
Wow so MJ literally has hundreds of grandkids? Wild
[removed]
[deleted]
It has nothing to do with being unfiltered. He literally looks like him lol. MJ was maybe the most corporate filtered athlete of all time.
“He made two conference finals! That’s good enough!”
LeBron poisoned them kids
Thunder brain rot in the comments
Not everybody blindly loves LeBron
2 conference finals by the age of 24. How many did MJ make by then?
Not comparable lmao. That’s the problem. Just making it instead of winning is why Lebron poisoned this generation. If only Jordan had that Wolves roster instead of playing with mechanics and car salesman.
Consolation prize generation gotta learn the hard way
The Thunder ushering in the tanking and flopping era is what poisoned this generation
Ant’s the one guy who honestly thinks he can win a jump ball against Wemby
Lmao what is he gonna jump in the air like a Avatar or some shit
We’ve seen him hit his head on the rim, I wouldn’t put it completely past him. Problem is he would have to anticipate the jump so early
Yuki Kawamura just won a jump ball
Mf I love YOU! 🫵
I love all yall! 🙌
We got wiseman instead of this dawg I swear imma kms man
Damn bro, I didn’t put that together. Could always be worse bro. Could be Dallas.
lol we chillin. All love to you and everyone reading this
They happen to have a generational prospect
That young man is a beast. Let’s not pretend they had the extreme luck to get him.
Literally why?
He’s hilarious literally
As a casual fan, he’s just so raw and authentic, you can tell he’s unapologetically himself, love him.
Never change Ant this dude is hilarious
The league is in good hands with Ant, Wemby, and Luka. There are many more, but these 3 are going to be the faces of the league when the old guard finally decide to move on
Ant and Wemby yes. Don’t know about Luka
Agreed. I love the plays Luka makes but a guy like that should never be the face of the league. His play is often exactly what people hate about modern basketball and he’s really bad in interviews and stuff. Ant and Wemby embrace the challenge and play the game hard and the right way mostly. And they’re great in interviews and reach fans.
Sorry, but I completely disagree. Neither player has led his team to the finals yet. Luka is more accomplished than both players and he also did it at a very young age. Dude got his entire life flipped upside down, and people forget how damn good he is at basketball. He’s been All-NBA player from jump. He’s easily one of the most popular players in the NBA and his jersey and sneaker sales tell a very different story than what you’re saying.
Dont get me wrong, I love Luka as a player. Nba success and being the face of the league aren’t always the same thing. You have to be one of the best, absolutely, but that’s not the only qualifier. Hakeem was never the face of the league. Harden never was, Westbrook never was, embiid never was, etc
I think championships go a long way, but there’s examples like kawhi and Duncan who don’t fit that mold.
Jordan, Kobe, shaq, LeBron, and Steph have a certain marketability that has to match their success. Wemby has definitely shown that side of things. Idk if I’ve seen that from luka
Lmao at people downvoting this. Luka averages almost 33 points this year, remains one of the best offensive players in the league. Yet, if you read these threads people treat him like triple single average player.
Don’t forget SGA
Ant is pure old school NBA and I love it
Ant needs to retire and become the Commish.
Only small change I’d suggest is condoms
“Hell nawl!”
Shame SGA didn’t play or else it’s a wrap.
First block from Wemby and Ant suddenly forgets all that only shoot lefty shit
It was a whole fad for Ant that season. He also went for a few weeks taking lots of bankshots and then before the ASG tried some left hand shenanigans in actual games.
He was watching too many kobe clips lol
Even last year when Wemby came off the bench, he was trying so hard for his team despite them not really giving a crap
And he had blood clot. It’s clea he’s serious about competition I just can’t wait to see him in the play offs.
Wemby might have saved the all star game lmao. I haven’t seen the all stars play so hard in a while
Wemby saving all star game. Wish his other teammates care. Maybe next year they should put a horse as a prize for the all star winner MVP.
Kathi played kinda hard. I think he’s just excited he’s finally not injured. Dude was on fire
KAT always plays hard. He played hard in the previous all-star games too
Thank you, Wemby 👏👏👏
KAT tried for years and no one cared :(
Kat actually played pretty good today. Offensively at least.
Dude sold so bad on the last play Letting them hit the 3 shot and Wemby looked so pissed
I cared !
He got clowned for trying actually.
i mean i think that directly speaks to wemby being the face of the league.
and also he started the game with an insane poster.
I think the difference is you need to be able to block lazy shots if you want to make the other guys try.
Ant was cooking out there. Duren was also really good with some great passes.
Wemby is alot of things but hes not a liar lmao
I always want to hate Ant but he is absolutely hysterical
His insistence on winning a jump against Wemby, the fact that he’s clearly trying to win the game, this hectic interview… he’s one of my favorite players of these games so far. Not usually an Ant fan, but he’s fun as hell tonight.
the only things you can hate him for is the one where he doesn’t want to take responsibility for his baby mommas out there but other than that he’s a good dude and no bad pr too (except for the mentioned)
even then i get his side of the story because these chicks are in it for the money so them fking without condoms they know whats gonna happen lol
I hate him because he constantly abuses my team lol but I can admit he is extremely likable
And also the homophobic shit too lol. Those are 2 pretty big things.
He made a bad comment that he apologized for years ago, he doesn’t need to have some sort of record sheet
He’s also a deadbeat piece of shit too
Ant is a lot of things but he’s not a deadbeat dad. He may be an absent one not in their lives but he’s paid all his child support
You can pay child support and still be a deadbeat. I know many of them. A deadbeat is literally someone who neglects parental obligations and a parent who’s emotionally absent and leaves parental care solely to the other parent.
No, a deadbeat dad is someone who doesn’t meet financial obligations. Ant pays the child support. He is an absent father bc he’s not in their lives. Words have meaning and not just bc you want them to/think they do
Literally Google what a deadbeat dad lol. No matter the case, he’s still a massive piece of shit for it. And you guys will love the goalpost with him just because he says funny shit and he’s good at ball lol. Trash supporting trash
“Deadbeat parent is a US English pejorative term[1] referring to parents who do not fulfill their parental responsibilities, especially when they evade court-ordered child support obligations or custody arrangements.”
They made an agreement and he sticks to it. He has not violated said agreement. He pays millions in agreed upon child support. That’s not a deadbeat. He may be a bad dad but hes not a deadbeat. I know words are hard when you’re 49th in education and from literally the worst state in the union
bro got more personality than curry, kawhi, and fox combined
Damn what de’aaron do to you
Fox: the fuck did I do??
Rick Fox was about to throw hands
Scammed him outta money with his NFT bullshit maybe
What’d Fox say?
Ant never change 😂
I can see why his persona pre draft was polarizing. This dude is either so himself and self assured that he’s going to crash out in this league.. or he’s going to be a superstar
Honestly, that’s a great point. I remember all the stuff and now I’m wishing I had those tapes.
When he said his first love was football….
in retrospect….
it’s just Ant being Ant and was nothing to worry about.
As well as having a great personality Ant really looked like a Star amongst stars out there. Love the guy.
Wemby for president
President of France?
The world
He is talking about ethics after that OKC game….we could use a few of those here in the USA right now.
Fuck it amend the constitution!
On that, i wonder how much obama being there elevated the competition also
Ant is man! Matchup against KD is awaiting
That clutch shake and bake layup against KD was fun!
This kid is a national treasure. So blessed to have him in MN
Ant is such a goober. 😂
He’s like the funny version of Kevin Hart
The man is objectively hilarious in interviews
Shout out Zora Stephenson. Forever the best Bucks sideline reporter.
That’s all we need. The reason the past few all star games sucked is because the best players didn’t play hard.
Now if they kept the same format but with this energy the game wouldn’t have needed this.
It’s always been the care of the players. Making it be about who’s the best in the world is a good incentive
He’s so fucking charismatic
Point number 82 on how Wemby is the best thing for the NBA’s future in a long time
Love ant. The crowd audibly laughing was great.
“You making excuses?” Great banter in that interview. Love Ant.
PLEASE ANT. Accept to be the next face of the NBA
Respect Wemby
Reminds me of Giannis in the 2020 all stars game. He went at it super hard, and everyone else followed.
send da fine
Funniest NBA interview in ages 😂
Is Wemby the next mamba? Because he showed up and made everyone more competitive just by being himself.
I love her jacket
One of the best Allstar games I have ever watched.
my maoist fantasy loving anti ice french goat
I love it and I need it
We’re on live Anthony
Shiiiiii
Yeah I’m trying to beat him in the jump ball, yeah I’m tryna beat him. He eight feet I’m six feet he eight feet.
Hard to not be a fan of this guy. Hope they can get him some high end talent to get em over the hump.
Id rather not be a fan of a piece of shit deadbeat and homophobe but that’s just me
Yea it’s just you. No one cares. Go virtue signal somewhere else
I fucking love Ant lol
Merry Sprite-mas to all and to all a good Sprite.
Man, every time he gets interviewed he reminds me of my cousins – he really has not let the ATL leave his personality, for better or worse.
Ant and Wemby made this all star game legit… LETS KEEP IT THIS WAY
This mf hilarious
You know what else worked? No Mr Beast. No Kevin Hart. No Charles Barkley and Kenny and Shaq dissing the NBA product.
Just basketball.
Tinder bios be like…Minimum height requirement 7 ft.
oh wow shocker, so you’re telling me that players like KD who are x16 all-stars, just have to try hard and players will follow?
what happened to the game thread???
“Excuse my French.”
Another one for The Alien Hype Highlights Compilation #22
Why isn’t it double elimination?
That’s my sweet prince!
This young men are all right 💯
What a gift. “So Sheeit; Dat whut happen”.
He has no filter and I hope he remains that way :))
Ant is hilarious lol, face of the league type of charisma though I ain’t gonna lie
Reporter not getting the humor? What?
Competitive, Not competitive, still not watching. I just check after to make sure players from my team did not get hurt.
I used to wonder how a language lost its to-be verbs (like some Slavic languages). Now I see how it could happen: people emulating Ant :-)
“He eight feet.”
Victor GOATbamyama
No no no no!! If the players compete and give a small fuck about these games they’ll get injured!! Tell them to stop!!!
Fuckin love this guy I’m dead
Edwards always comes off as such a child and meatball
