Anthony Edwards says that beating Team World was more enjoyable: “They say they are the best players in the world, yeah, so beating them is the best feeling in the world”
So he took it personally? His father would be proud.
Just keep his father away from those buttcheeks
Wemby bout to hit a new form just off this comment
I’m so excited for rivalries to come back let’s fuckin go
I’m not going to lie man the scrap during the Hornets vs Pistons game got me so excited lol. I hope we end being good enough to actually have a rivalry with Detroit. Sports are so much more fun with rivalries and when the players are willing to publicly talk their shit.
Imagine telling an nba fan from 2 years ago that pistons/hornets would be a major rivalry in a seriously competitive way
Would be a fun playoff series between those two teams
We will be back come playoff time 🙏🏽😭 that first round match up gonna hit like crack
If Spurs v Wolves becomes a big thing.. I am all for it
agreed, best part is I feel like it would be a friendly but respectful rivalry overall, not some bitch hatred rivalry because the other team is annoying to play against (OKC)
I respect OKC too.
i respect what they’ve built & how they have tons of assets & a young core that will last years but i absolutely don’t respect the product they put on the court & their fans being delusional about it, fuck em
Wemby is for sure adding everyone on that team to the list of people he is going to hunt for the block and dunk on next time they meet. Chet’s name takes up like half of the page though, so he’s running out of room
Expansion needs to happen yesterday and send Minnesota to the East. A Wemby-Ant final would be fire.
4 of the best 5 players on that team didn’t play
To be fair 2⁄5 of them wouldn’t have tried regardless
the fat ones
They must love them churros!
White*
I don’t get how losers like you can casually talk shit about someone you don’t even know, it’s crazy how toxic the internet has become
Bro we spurs fans, we live in the fattest city in America and the media digs at us for it 😂 we entitled to call people fat
Chill fatty
Your mom
Quiet piggy
Your daddy
All you gotta do is invite Nico to the front seat and tells Jokic it’s going to cost him one horse per loss.
Wouldn’t have tried on defense that’s for sure.
Y’all wanted these dudes to care and now that someone is caring and talking some smack you’re making excuses smh
Usual Reddit behavior lol
I would have loved to see Wemby and Ant in the finals. Ant had a team that gave a damn around him and it showed. Wemby had Wemby. Siakam is the only dude from the World team that played that gets a pass.
Because the ones talking smack aren’t their favs.
KD can read between the lines
4 of the best 5 players in the NBA*
SGA, Giannis and wemby together would have been overkill lol. Plus idk how tf sengun got in over Lauri Markkanen. Lauri over KAT in that game
Lauri has been hurt, rested, or played for the Utah Jazz for 100% of the season. You’re not making an ASG if that’s going on.
Cause Senguns better than Lauri
What are they always saying about Embiid? Best ability is availability or something like that.
Wemby was surrounded by sellers who sold the game for him.
Theres a popular sports saying that the best ability is availability. If Lebron, Kawhi and KD can show up, there really shouldnt be any excuses for ANY players for not showing up.
That’s the only reason they barely won but let them celebrate it
Here come the excuses….how predictable
Part of being the best is being able to get yourself mentally ready and being available.
Shai and Giannis are injured
Luka also
Read the part after the “and”
Durability is a skill
Cannot believe people are being criticized for being injured during an All Star game
You either show up for the games or you don’t.
Ligament and tendon strength is trainable.
Knowing what skills and movement patterns to avoid as they have increased injury risk is a skill.
Damn if only the best athletic trainers in the world had this knowledge
They do know it. Getting these young men to listen and take warning is another story.
You’re definitely a fat cunt sitting on your couch eating doritos.
^ one of the dumbest guys in the world
Guy like you sees a figure skater or gymnast and are too far removed from accepted medial science to figure out they strengthened their ligaments and tendons.
Back to r/conservative you go
Very good bit to call everyone who disagrees with you a conservative
You don’t seem satisfied with accepted medical science. 4 month old account with everything hidden
S-tier bait.
You get it
Hahaha, I’m just pretending to be an idiot
I bet you injure yourself while masturbating
Haven’t jerked off in years. That’s nasty and unclean behavior
“durability is a skill” yeah man if you train hard enough your ACL is untearable and your ankle never rolls.
I suppose if Porzingis locked in he would get over POTS, mamba mentality type shit.
As somebody is a GSW fan I hope you are right about Porzingis!
Jokic’s teammate stepped on his foot and SGA, Luka, and Giannis have a soft-tissue injury so how does any of that apply to them?
You realize soft tissue is a broad term that includes ligaments and tendons right?
Lmao. Arguing medical stuff and you don’t even know what soft tissue is.
And you realize that neither Giannis’s strained calf muscle, Luka’s strained hamstring muscle, or SGA’s strained abdominal muscle is a ligament or tendon, right?
Good thing muscles are trainable too. It’s almost like teams should have strength and conditioning coaches
And the soft tissue injuries?
What a silly argument you’re trying to make
4 of the 5?
Jokic and Wemby aren’t top 5 on that team?
Jokic Luka Shai and Giannis didn’t play is what he’s saying
Grade S troll, respect 😂
Hope Jokic and Luka take this personally and actually play next year.
Doubt
Funny joke
If they really cared they woulda taken the kd comment the other day personally
Luka was hurt and we all knew he wasn’t going to play much in this game. But your narratives I guess.
Na don’t even bother, everybody creams themselves with any morsel to shit on Luka.
I even heard a few of the idiots claiming he faked an injury to rest before allstar week
Yeah he’s not that good of an actor 😂 bro was pissed when his hammy got tight. Also he would never pass up a chance to thump the Mavs unless he had to.
He literally said he wanted to make an appearance in the game if he’s able for the fans because he got the most fan votes. We all knew he was going to play a few minutes going into this game if he was playing for weeks now. No one seemed bothered.
ur the idiot here it was obvious he did that
ant played while being hurt too
Ant’s played the Timberwolves last 9 games
I mean, if Luka did not get the most fan votes I doubt he would have played this year considering he was coming off an injury.
As much as its easy to blame the players, I think its more on the media and the fans for watering down the credibility of it for years.
All that really matters in NBA is like Championship Ring, Finals MVP and Regular Season MVP. May be defensive player of the year? Everything else is kinda of a washed.
It’s worse. The regular season MVP has kinda been clowned too. It’s all ring culture.
Yeah true…and they wonder why ratings are dropping. TBH, I only tune in for like 2-4 weeks start of the season and then only highlights from there until like 2-4 weeks before the start of playoffs. Lol
this pussy sub is watering down this win right now
Lol. They will have playoff for proving, All Star game really is not their cup of tea
They haven’t been particularly successful on that end either.
A lot more successful than Ant lol
Huh?
Luka is coming off a hamstring…
Why would they, or more importantly why should they? I know it might be difficult to believe but some players are more aware of their egos than others. The reaction to a comment made by another person (positive or negative, doesn’t matter) is almost a direct indicator of how you view yourself. If KD or Ant’s comments bothered Jokic/Luka, it would mean that their insecurities were triggered, but they don’t have any (which is a sign of a healthy mind) because they remained unfazed and authentic. Maybe it would help for NBA fans to be more open minded, not every player will think and act the same way because they grow up under different circumstances and environments. It isn’t fair to put them in a box, especially for a game like the All Star, because it is an exhibition game, even if people don’t want it to be. So it is true that KD and Ant can question other player’s approaches to the all star game, but it is also true that Jokic and Luka can dismiss the external energy (players, fans, media, etc.) that is set towards them. If anything, it’s commendable that they remain the same no matter what people say to them, I think it’s a valuable lesson to learn about being yourself and having fun. If Wemby and Ant find it more fun to play hard, that’s okay. At the same time, Jokic and Luka just being there and enjoying the game is okay as well. The point is, be yourself, be free of the ego, and let others be themselves too.
I laffed
Injured
Narrator: but they didn’t take it personally…
They will not lol. They don’t get worked up over this.
Why would they? It’s a meaningless game that everyone will stop talking about in a few days.
lol which part would they take personally?
Luka only plays half the time in games that count lmao
Ant was responsible for 95% of the weekends entertainment. And I’m appreciative.
Where the hell is metta world peace to calm everyone down!
Yeah I’m sure he takes immense satisfaction from being jokic and Luka who “played” 5min each and shai who didn’t even take the court
Luka somehow outplayed Deni in those 5 mins lol
Again Luka is hurt
Okay?
So complaining about him not playing much is ignorant
He’s defending team world here, read again
No ones complaining though
I’m crying a Laker flair and a Thunder flair said almost the exact same thing but one has 3 downvotes and the other has 9 upvotes
Jokic I guess likes not playing but Luka is just there to take shots and sabotage his team why did they even come
He is coming back from a hamstring injury and he only played 5 minutes. What the fuck are you idiots even talking about?
“Sabotage his team”
My god warriors fans are getting dumber by the minute
Yeah 1⁄3 and injured at this point just sit out
Bruh. 4 of their five best players didn’t even really play
Team world was not the best tonight. Jokic and Luka barely played. Giannis and SGA both injured. Only Wemby was left for the starting line up.
[deleted]
The team was better when they weren’t playing
Then they shouldn’tve played at all lmao
I’m talking about the two that played the 10 minutes. Thought that was fairly obvious
This is the wolves fans greatest victory lap since that one play-in game
Actually, it’s the greatest victory lap since beating the “Lakers in 5” Lakers in 5 last year
And after that is Ant winning ASG MVP lmao can you not read
We beat the injured warriors in the second round bud, use Google. Not much glory in that
So a first round victory? Nice.
“So you only beat my team in the playoffs, huh? Loser”
As a franchise highlight, yeah.
cmon man, take your lumps. im a packers fan, and even if the packers have a better history than the bears or lions or vikings, when those teams beat us in the playoffs or regular season, hiding behind history is lame. like I get it, but still.
even more ironic though given that five of your championships happened while the team was in Minneapolis lol.
I’ll come to the defense of my team’s players. If that’s shitting on a historically bad franchise, so be it.
I never said beating you guys was a franchise highlight lol. Beating the warriors was the franchise highlight, you were a stepping stone
Team excuses
If they don’t want Ant to talk shit, maybe they should play more minutes. You can either not care what he says, or you can try. You can’t not try and then get pissy when he talks his shit after, lol.
They did a Batman beyond with MJ. It ain’t no way.lol.
Make the All Star game a best of 7 games! Get this team world vs team USA rivalry going!
Wow, we (the US) just beat the dream team
No media training for Ant Man = best interviews 😂😂
Ant such a legend
They are though
Tbf Shai and Giannis didn’t play
Jokic and Luka didn’t want to play
All these players complaining about the allstar game and all I see is Ai going off on a practice rant. Play at 100% play at 1%. I dont care, im not watching it and all I care about is my teams players coming out healthy.
Hopefully this will mean that next year Luka and Jokic will finally care and SGA and Giannis will be healthy.
Nah bro
It is 2026. I am in my 30s. We are talking about the effort in the all star game being shit again. Guys I think the all star games will never be good. I didn’t even watch it this year, it’s just slop. Hurt them with the ratings.
Damn right! USA is the best baby
OK, this is cringe. Team World best players besides Wemby not played or played like usual at All Star like ass and they lost both games by last shot. Yes, World has best players and best rebounders in game for a while, but in depth USA still having thenedge and it will stay like that, especially after new generation enter in league
Do not understand downvotes
That’s cuz team world is soft with their socialist medicine and commie conditioning.
