Anthony Edwards says that the attendance of former president Obama gave him extra motivation:
“Yeah, for sure… he is my favorite person in the world… me and him had a lot of great time yesterday, so I told I was gonna put a show for him”
That clip of him telling Obama and Embiid to back down only for Obama to call over Bron and KD at the Olympics was gold.
Anyone who hasn’t seen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1I_WlVTp-x8&pp=ygUSQW50IG9iYW1hIG9seW1waWNz
Back down because he didn’t want to hear any disrespect about KAT and Rudy. Loved that but very gutsy haha
The “You lucky I ain’t 7 foot” to Embiid cracked me up
The extremely brief flash of panic on LeBron’s face when he realized Ant was talking to Obama was one of my favorite moments in that series.
“I specifically told them NOT to let Ant near Obama”
Obama: “are you all talking to this young man?” Lebron: “uh-oh”
“Sorry, dad. We’ll do better.”
Lmao
The way Bron and KD walked over and you could tell they were worried about Ant’s filter
The truth!
This clip seems more intense than it felt watching it on the show lol. Shout out to LeAmbassador for breaking the tension.
Can someone explain this to me? I think I’m out of the loop on this one wha happened?
Watch Court of Gold on Netflix it’s pretty dope. It was an interaction between them from that documentary.
Thanks man!! Will do
Ant told Emiid, Lebron abd Obama to stand down because they were starting to talk about Rudy and KAT.
Ant is seriously the best teammate of all time. Nobody goes to bat for his boys like he does.
One of the most underrated things about him…and he’s that way for every single guy on the team, including the end of bench guys. Johnny Juzang had a game where he had a chance to play and Ant was his biggest cheerleader from the bench when he was hitting 3s that game.
I think if Obama started talking trash about anybody I would agree with him
Ya I mean you’re right Barry my sweet mother is a dumb bitch I never saw it that way before
“They got KD but we got Jaden McDaniels”.
More recently he said that Bones has what it takes to be a star, which is probably wishful thinking but it really proves that he’s the best hype man in the league.
LeBron wasn’t there for that. LeBron and KD pull up when Obama asks them whether Ant really is the truth.
more like it’s how good Embiid was, dropping 51pts against Ant and 2 seven fters: KAT, and Gobert
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/huYwz9aWTtA
Thanks man!!
Man y’all better stand down
Ant: “I’m the truth” KD: “Ain’t nothing wrong with that”
Then he gets himself a Shirley Temple.
edwards was a jerk to obama in that clip and is now trolling in this one. he doesnt like him. dude is a menace.
Nah let’s be real, Obama was talking bad about 3 of Ant’s teammates. He didn’t want to hear nothing about his boys, no matter who was talking
“Favorite person in the world”? Jaden gonna be pissed.
Jonathon Isaac just fell even further to his knees in the pews, praying for the damned soul of Ant Edwards
I’m not even sure JI has knees at this point. He moves like he has 3 joints in his entire body and he’s smoking one of em
his children cryin rn
It would make sense - they are babies, after all.
You mean Jarred Vanderbilt
https://youtube.com/shorts/7Sg1s0yvT9c?si=1eCSzSe8h3kZGajY
They got Barack Obama, but we got Jaden McDaniels.
His 100 baby mamas and 1000 kids: surprised pikachu face
I’m actually friends with Ant and I know for a fact that he has a Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act poster on his bedroom wall.
I heard he was very critical of the Jones Act and how it drives up shipping costs for Americans.
KIA MVP endorses utilizing Korean shipbuilding in the US!
where’s that guy with the ‘Jones Act’ edit of the Bad Bunny superbowl show lmao
Ant was so impressed by Obama growing up without a father he wants to give his kids the same chance to be president.
Ant was in the situation room on May 1st 2011 when they got Bin Laden
Dilly put Ant on to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis
And thus, the All-Star game performance effort was solved.
Just have fans in attendance the players love, you’ll see them work.
I was wondering if Obama being there would make the guys play a lil more, hah
We know they all love baddies, put baddies in you’ll see. But
It definitely should. I remember Obama talking to Tyrese about guys not trying last year I think, so people know what he thinks, and they respect him so they’ll try harder
Obama and Ballmer are really close
The front row just needs to be the Obamas, some Instagram baddies, and the players’ mamas. They will try.
bottom tier all star players love to rotate baby mommas for some reason. if you put all of them in the front row a fight might break out
Thanks Obama
Can Jokic have a horse courtside?
Okay hear me out. Hold a person dear to each player hostage…
Just put Gary Payton on the sidelines of every game. He’ll shame them into playing hard.
Court seats reserved for Obama, timothee chalamet and instagram baddies
CIA psyop to project our power on a global stage
Fill the seats with thots
Get more baddies courtside, got it. Problem solved.
How much for the audio of that conversation.
“They’re called condoms, Anthony”
You earned a laugh homie
I read it in his voice 😭😂😭
“Hell nah, can’t do this”
Sent da audio
Do you think Obama knows about the “send da video” incident?
Damn right
Woke ant god damn this guy gets better and better
I’m not convinced that he admires Obama for his politics, but I’m happy to see this anyway.
Not like Obama’s politics are woke
Obama is much more liberal than the policies he was able to enact. His motto was “Will it work?”, not “I want to talk about things I can never achieve”.
That is very clearly backwards to reality. He ran a super progressive campaign only to come up short of almost all of his promises. It was not inability to enact them, as even when he had majorities in both halls of congress, he didn’t even attempt to codify roe v wade like he promised. Also true with preventing drug companies from blocking generic drugs, eliminating oil and gas tax loopholes, or even simple things like having the government officially recognize the armenian genocide. There’s dozens of other examples where there’s no evidence that he even made efforts to change many of the things he campaigned on absolutely matter-of-factly doing.
“even when he had majorities in both halls of congress”
Wrong, he didn’t have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
“he didn’t even attempt to codify roe v wade like he promised”
He said that in 2007, but by the time he took office in 2009 his major priority was getting ACA passed. Then people failed to show up in 2010 to let him do it.
Facts. Man came into office with the biggest progressive mandate of any president in history. Saying that his hands were tied is laughable.
Ant was 14 years old during Obama’s last year in office. Most 14 year old don’t engage in politics actively, especially those going through Ant’s circumstances.
But it does have an impact of child development seeing people like you in different positions and jobs to give hope that you can achieve those goals too.
Bro is homophobic definitely not woke
Dark Woke
Ant is a cumtown listener.
“Speak a little Chinese for ‘em Anthony”
Nick: “Sup yo, my name is Anthony N-words—“ Stav: “No no no no no. Nope. No it’s not.”
Dark woke isnt homophobic either though lmao
Alright with some homophobic banter perhaps though
He said stupid, hateful shit as a young man, but as far as I am aware, he hasn’t had any other issues with homophobia in the years since that. Perhaps he was just a dumb kid who hadn’t experienced much in the world. Are you the same person you were at age 20?
there’s are other issues to be awake about lol.
Get off your high horse bully
[ Removed by Reddit ]
loving war criminals is woke?
You German, bro
Have a seat
don’t worry, i’m painfully aware that german politicians are morally bankrupt too
Okay well you should worry about that, considering the track record
i do but humans can worry about more than one thing at a time
Actually we cant. Unless you like merge Godzilla with a Megladon to make a hybrid monster. Then we can
All American presidents are war criminals
lmao the favorite pastime of the left is just misusing language until they have no meaning.
Kinda like the word woke right?
Here Barack Obama uses the term “woke” to disparage extremism and unproductive purity testing from the left:
You know this idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically woke and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaHLd8de6nM
They can downvote you as much as they want, you are undeniably correct with your take
there’s a breed of tiring mfs who love purity testing everyone to oblivion.
Who’s a good world leader? Tell me.
Has there eveyr beeen a good leader of a major nation in the past 300 years? Like ANY country.
ONLY YOU ARE PURE! “THEY” DOWNVOTE, IT’S A CABAL
In today’s America hell ya
Never heard SGA say this 🤔🤔🤔
“Obama? Not my president.”
– SGA, most likely

Thatsthejoke
What about your username?
Pls don’t ask
Secret service made the call after their last interaction
Seeing him on the sideline and speaking like a normal human being almost brought a tear to the eye
Couldn’t imagine how cool it would be to chill with Obama
Obama is the man.
Ant scoring major points with me today
He goes to bed in his Affordable Care Act pajamas with Joe Biden slippers and nightcap
Is this a burn of some kind?
Perhaps I treated you too harshly Ant…
NGL it’s lame to call any president your “favorite person in the world”
These are athletes remember lol I don’t thinks a lot of these guys paid attention or care about politics like that or even the semantics behind it
His favorite person should probably be his kid
Larry sinclair is obamas favorite person
Countdown to epstein boys getting this post deleted in 3… 2… 1…
Didnt obama deport just as many immigrants if not more than Trump AND signed the law in place allowing ICE agents to cover their face?
I have no clue why Obama gets such a good rap on Reddit, he wasn’t as good of a democratic president as everyone acts. I actually appreciated the early years of Biden more.
Comparing him to Trump is wild. Obama wasn’t letting ICE agents roam the streets with free will to murder innocent people without consequence
He also didn’t rape children
You’re 100% correct but what the fuck is that last sentence dude lmao, Biden was absolute dogshit apart from like 2 bills he passed.
No he wasn’t lol
Future Bull incoming? Streets and the League (except for Minny obv) would love it.
Dream on
So sad to see the grip Democrats still have. This and Book and Obama and Curry. Shame.
Actually, not sad. Society was designed to not unanimously pick one side. Hence, why there’s more than one party.
Yes, as in there are third parties and we don’t need to continue to glaze Obama after he began to make ICE what it currently is, let the billionaires off scot free for the great recession, destroyed Syria and normalized drone warfare, continues to support Israel, etc.
Democrats are not the choice just because Republicans are worse. You don’t need to vote for who you think is gonna win, you should vote for who has ideas and policies you actually support. One vote does not matter. Don’t treat it like the important thing is helping someone win, treat it as voicing your opinion.
LOL
Gripping reply, your counterarguments have shook me to my core!
Found a Jill Stein voter. You would’ve had a better chance writing yourself in lmao
I love how I literally wrote about how who has a better chance doesn’t matter and you still get stuck up on that. Please use your brain I’m begging you
Please use a political sub to whine about the 2 party system, this ain’t the place
Then why do we have multiple posts about Obama and Israel on the front page of this sub rn? You think the world is nearly divided into different topics that don’t cross over?
geez, smarten the eff up, kid
You guys haven’t learned anything from the dead nazi podcaster
Anyone who likes obama doesn’t know obama. Dude was a racist the other way
lots of good reasons to criticize the guy
don’t know if this is one
It is. He actively worked to terra form race to look like him
We got a live one boys!
Just keep asking him questions to see how deep the rabbit hole goes
I did my time with the Q boys. I pass my torch on to the next generation while I giggle at the insanity.
An anti Israel/epstein conservative? Guilty as charged
Do you believe israel wants a genocide because they are jewish? or because 70% of their male population is right wing and see palestinians the same way right wingers in america see minorities and immigrants?
Israel zionista pps are Jewish supremacists where they believe gifting others with their DNA is a gift. Epstein was a freak and they all hate diversity.
Now try answering his question
Asylum escapee was more what I was getting at.
I’d love to hear an explanation for what this is referring to and how it was executed.
get medical help.
Oh, so you are real dumb
Thanks for your OPINIoN
Found the brain rot. Enjoy your downvotes.
I never enjoy those.
Shocking. I figured with your ignorant ass comment that’s 100% BS you loved getting downvoted into oblivion.
It’s not BS. You’re just confrontational
Obama had ZERO scandals and is as class act as they come. Calling him racist is the most ignorant thing I’ve read in a while. Says a lot more about you than him.
Zero scandals is hilarious. The man literally helped agitate the syrian refugee crisis to get a pipeline through that led to millions of syrians fleeing to europe causing a right wing backlash that created brexit and trump. He kissed George Clooney. He tried to push the TPP which would have essentially stolen your Internet privacy. And hey maybe you remember Edward fucking Snowden? Who literally risked his life trying to expose the obama administration of creating a fascist spy state? Not to mention gutting the middle class and being a general perv. But no no no controversies at all. Good job
Brooo that tin foil is insane. Makes sense since what I just read may qualify you for a mental institution. Seek help.
tell a redditor something that is more than one sentence
“Omg conspiracy theory has to be fake cause it isn’t dumbed down for me.”
Lol you’re on reddit. The most botted and controlled website online lol. I dont care what you think of me you’re literally reading propaganda daily
If I showed what you just wrote to 100 random people on the street of any city in America 99+ would say whoever wrote that is legit insane or trolling.
This isn’t a hot take, but from how insane you seem to be I’m sure you will think it is. Again seek help you’re not living in reality friend.
Charlie Kuck would want you to do better, epstein boy
Is that who you were learning from?
Chuckie Kuck?
Don’t forget the tan suit and Dijon mustard incident.
I don’t know what those are but they sound worse than anything I wrote about
How are those epstein files coming?
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Don’t laugh
Definitely laughing. Imagine people being moronic enough to call Obama a racist.
Imagine not thinking he’s a racist
LOL, give me one example of him being a racist. I don’t think you know what the term means.
Erasing race is racist. Simple as
Erasing race? The only thing simple I see is your ability to think.
That’s something a simple person would say when seeing a smart idea.
Still waiting on an example of him “erasing race” or being racist. You got one?
lmao
Bro is illiterate
