Nick Nurse: “(VJ) kind of came out of the halftime saying I got (Derrick) White and I’m gonna do better on him because White was cooking. I think White might have had 2 points in the 3rd quarter…and a lot of that was VJ”
Gonna be rooting for this kid for the next 15 years. He’s the X factor against the Knicks. We didn’t have anything like VJ in the 2024 series
He is my favorite basketball player since Allen Iverson.
I know it’s a bit overused at this point but he really does have serious aura. He’s such a fun watch
Anyone who doesnt think Aura isnt a real thing is #1 a moron, #2 dont got no Aura
its a real thing and you either have it or you dont. Its like certain fighters have insane aura, dont have to talk or be something they arent, you just know it when you see it.
It’s obviously a real thing and always has been, it’s just another word for ‘presence’, which everyone accepts
yea but im in mid 30s and i been saying Aura since like the 90s its a thing. The kids now brought the word back and over use it lol
but its been around forever my fav fighter/athlete ever was Fedor Emelianenko, dude didnt say 1 word but had insane natural Aura.
These kids now try to force it and look dumb as shit
This league is the Sixers and 29 other teams that don’t have VJ Edgecombe.
I mean, the Wolves have Ant… that is kinda like having VJ…
Honestly I say this in the kindest way, VJ looks like year 2 Ant, and that should terrify teams around the league. If he can get his shot cleaned up the way Ant did, the Sixers have a superstar.
I will say this in the kindest way. Try your best to remember Ant because people are going to forget about him. Decades from now the only names people will remember are MJ, VJ, and LeBron!
Idk what the fuck you’re cooking up here but it’s heat
are you saying minnesotans arent people
Put him on brunson at all times
Nah, Brunsons the master baiter. VJ aint ready.
Vj is no jerk off
Uber confidence
*winks*
VJ impressive man he got a extremely high ceiling
And they say tanking doesn’t work
I am disappointed that VJ didnt really sstablish himself as an all-defensive first team caliber player like he said he thought he could. But he has time to get better
He needs to fill out his frame a tiny bit and get some experience but oh boy, when he does he’s going to be a monster on defense. He’s consistently been a plus player even during shooting slumps this season regular and post.
the guy your responding to says this in every VJ post when he breaks a record, i think its a skit at this point.
Hes like our VJ hater that moron Sustained-Yard…they are just trolls or ill in the head
He is a 20 year old rookie
All your posts are why VJ disappointed you dude, its actually like a skit now isnt it
then you say “i was VJ believer”
the man has done the unthinkable all year, do you want him to average 50 points a game?
I cant tell if this is your skit or you actually believe what you’re saying, every historic VJ game thats never been done before i see your account “im disappointed VJ couldnt”
Lol..
man you had thinking his profile would just be a flood of VJ trolling and instead its a fairly normal list and a frieren recommendation
idk seems chill lol
i didnt look at his or anyones profile
but trust me, he always comments on a big game by VJ with
“im disappointed VJ couldnt be MVP!”
its actually funny, its def him cause i somehow remember the name, its all good i aint hating its just funny that ive randomly seen this similar response like 5 times now in some VJ historic stat line post
Hes not a hater of him, he just expects him to be Jordan every game
He said it himself on PG’s podcast that he thought he could be first-team all defense in his rookie year. When he said that, I believed it but i can sit here objectively and say he was not first-team all-defense. I really want VJ to be one of the greatest of all-time so i want his progression to accelerate beyond anyone’s belief

Dog hes a 2 way player as a 20 year old
he cant be the best defensive player and offensive player as a kid, who cant buy alcohol, on a team where 3 other guys want to shoot 30 times a game on top of it
hes had to change roles all year he got #1 option role for 4-5 games and had best games ever, should have had 40 points twice but didnt stat pad
Hes not a stat guy, hes just a winner
I understand this and im not saying he’s a bust. But probably no one else on this planet besides VJ himself believes in him as much as I do and so i make it quite easy for myself to get disappointed
Thats your fault not his
the disappointment in that specifically shouldn’t be your first thought though honestly, not when he’s looked as good as he has
His defense has been huge, the way he neutralized White and Pritchard when he had to, was game changing.
Can’t wait till he is on the Thunder
Selfish mfs
Thanos ass greed
the legend grows
You think Knueppel can D up like that? Ha.
