Anthony Edwards on Rudy Gobert’s IG story: “That Walt Disney Rudy.”
I still cant believe him and Lamelo on the same team 😂😂😂😂😂
Jaden McDaniels
They got ___ but we got Jaden McDaniels
They got ‘a loaded fire arm’ but we got Jaden McDaniels
Jokic
I think it’s a scarier combo than most people realize. Rudy and lamelo are exceptional on opposite ends and ant in the middle with a pretty decent supporting cast is something that could actually get them to the finals this season!
The scariest part of this combo is them driving out of the arena after games
Their parking spots can’t be anywhere near each other … or anyone else either
I know you’re joking but based on behind the scenes videos Ant has posted he doesn’t really drive much. His best friend drives him everywhere and basically is with him wherever he goes.
More athletes should be doing this imo. Like just have one of the homies be the designated driver or just hire a full time chauffeur.
Yeah if you’re making tens of millions or more there’s no reason not to. Driving is a huge waste of time.
I’d vote for laundry. Definitely laundry for me.
Never ending laundryyyyyyyyy, whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh….
Bros got his own Drama
I know it’s mostly a joke but didn’t Lamelo confirm he hired a driver?
Ya, and Ants never had a problem with driving
Ant probably just figured having Lamelo driving around balances out him blasting inside every random woman he sees
If only LeBron agreed 😭
Their starting 5 is legit. Their bench is a complete wasteland.
I definitely think it’s a below average bench but it’s not the nuggets. Shannon is a great bench player (look at his playoff stats) Josh Green, Bones and Clark are very playable then Beringer is a high upside probably immediately above average backup big. Then Lyles exists I guess.
They really just need a forward to help out Jaden and they’re a genuine contender, it’s such an interesting lineup
LeBron would’ve been perfect on this team as a player who can easily switch 1-4 and even play 5 in super small ball lineups
I think Lebron didn’t wanna be in the west, his 3 teams were Cavs, Heat, and Sixers. His plan is to coast in the regular season, try to stay uninjured, and then start caring in the playoffs.
I worry about their front court. Jaden and Rudy can’t both play 48 minutes
Beringer can definitely take the minutes off Rudy. Lyles, Shannon and Clark power forward minutes are the worry.
Literally all this team needed was to re-sign Kyle Anderson 😭
If he had been able to shoot last year, we would’ve. Can’t have two non shooters on the floor at once.
It’s better than running a 4 guard lineup.
Trey Lyles would start, the bench would be Kyle Anderson, Beringer, and 3 guards. Right now the Wolves have no PF when Lyles is on the bench, and no distributor when Lamelo is on the bench. SloMo solves both those issues.
It would be great if he could shoot, but then a team would be paying him a lot more than a minimum, and we couldn’t afford him.
Totally fair. I just think they were looking at the prospect of either Joan + Slomo or Rudy + Slomo and realizing that the clogged lane thing just negates too much of our offense. I personally think we’ll be alright with the lineup, I think it won’t be as bad as it seems right now.
I’m optimistic too, but it’s gonna be Jaden and Trey Lyles taking turns as the 4, realistically.
I think the Wolves FO would have kept SloMo if they knew they were getting rid of both Randle and Naz , but the LaMelo trade wasn’t finalized right away.
And outside of bball they share two braincells fighting for 3rd place.
Gobert will regress and Ball will play like 40 games max
They’re 6th seed at best.
And Edwards will average 30 like his father
Gobert regress to what? Dpoy?
He’s about to have career highs this year
Most unserious backcourt 😭
The two dumbest men in sports
You forgot MPJ and Herro, they’re arguably dumber
Ant is absolutely not dumb. He’s been immature at times, but far from dumb. They aren’t the same thing.
Ant can have some introspection and self awareness. I don’t like some aspects of him off the court but he seems like someone who isnt dumb. Melo seems dumb
All the people who call Rudy Gobert a bad teammate are in shambles, since he took the Wolves roster to Disneyland
Nobody says he’s a bad teammate just kinda ass
4x DPOY, 9x All-Defense and 4x All-NBA. More recently known for pushing Jokic to his worst playoff series in years.
If Rudy’s ass then he’s the Alexis Texas of ass NBA players 😂
He’s an all time great defensively no doubt. I think the hate comes from his offense being so limited. Tough to watch him fumble the ball constantly as a neutral observer
Lol Rudy has never even averaged 2 t/o a game and scores 12-16 on 69%shooting, not sure how that’s fumbling the ball around more than anyone else
Yet he gets hunted on every possession in the playoffs. He’s a greater regular season floor raiser, but in the playoffs against great players, he’s barbecue chicken
Did you watch the nuggets series? Genuinely there is no way you believe this if you did.

Person you responded to doesn’t just deserve downvotes, they deserve JAIL TIME. At the very least I suggest 21 hours of community service, where they have to play to 21 vs Gobert.
This narrative only started because the jazz had shit defenders around him. We’re in 2026 my guy, not 2021.
Luka step back 3
Jokic shot 12⁄41 while being defended by gobert through 4 games
Players shot 35.3% from 3 while being defended by gobert in the regular season and 31.8% in playoffs.
What were you saying though?
Lol 1 playoff series where Jokic was playing with plumbers, nice try though
Okay, so why can’t I use that same argument to just discredit the Luka clip?
I love how you’re using this argument after using an actual nitpicked clip for your evidence
What happened in the next series Rudy played against Luka?
It’s sad that the Rudy Gobert narrative for the next decades will be that he was “kinda ass and overrated” when the man was and still is a defensive menace. Not every center is meant to be a defensive machine while being great on offense lmao
If Rudy was good on offense he’d be one of the best centers and players of all time lmfao
People are so stupid about Rudy and players like him. It’s funny too cuz I don’t remember Ben Wallace being talked about like this. And Rudy has better stats in basically every category you could think of on offense
Maybe just cuz French idk
The reddit nephews expose themselves
He’s not great offensively but he’s one of the best defenders of this generation
Casual spotted
Quite sad as a Trae and Gobert pairing would have fed families
Vibes are crazy right now, Randle may have been the entire issue.
Only after that realization do you finally reach enlightenment.
Julius was the problem we didn’t know we needed to reach the next level. Thank you, brother.
Randle was part of the necessary sacrifice LA had to commit to win the Bubble ring. On some GOZ shit
Teams that traded away Randle did won championship after.
it’s clearly Riverwalk, San Antonio, TX
not a river its a creek
What am I supposed to do with this information
rejoice
It’s Walt Disney. What more do you want?
I love this man
Anthony Edwards, worldwide.
Get in here before the pale brigade
Pale brigade really? I can’t tell if you’re racist or this is an inside joke. Was it an inside joke? Was it racist? We may never know
Pale. Brigade.
This shit is Las Vegas, that Las Vegas Rudy
this is Fayetteville, NC https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/8512
Send da mickey
Just like the stone arch bridge in Minneapolis, MN
Word?
It’s just like the Mississippi River
what does walt disney mean

None of the first 4 players here matter, as they are either not very good or out of the league. The net package was pretty much Walker Kessler, and picks that converted to Keyonte George, Cody Williams, and JJJ. You could argue that’s a pretty big haul for Utah but I think the Wolves regular season and playoff records the last three years should speak for itself
Extremely worth it.
Is this hating on the trade, or in support of the trade?
The Wolves last playoff series win was in 2004 before the trade. In 4 seasons since Gobert joined the Wolves the Wolves won 5 playoff series, and made 2 conference finals. He anchors the Wolves to elite defense in the regular season, and won a DPOY as a Wolf
Even then the Jazz walked away with good value too. They flipped Kessler for 2 firsts, and 2 swaps to have premium assets to improve the team, or to gamble and hope they can draft players who’ll fit with Darryn once he enters his prime
Then they used a portion of the draft capital to send in the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade. They also draft Key who was a 24, 4, and 6 player last season with the 2023 pick
I think both the Jazz and Wolves are 100% satisfied with the trade both those teams agreed too on July 1st, 2022
Wolves traded assets to win now. The Jazz traded Gobert for assets to win later, and to tank which resulted in drafting Ace and Darryn with back to back top 5 picks
10⁄10 would do that trade again, we have won more playoff series in the last 3 years than we won in the rest of our history combined. I’m hoping we can win a title with this team, but the fact that our seasons aren’t over in December annually has made it much more enjoyable, and yes that is incredibly sad.
Yea it was a great trade for them, he’s awesome
It’s a rare trade where both parties walk away feeling great about their haul.
Yeah always good to revisit win-win trades, those are rare.
Ughhh, Anthony Edward’s could be the American face of the league. He is just too goofy and problematic. Really makes you respect LeBron for largely not making a fool of himself on the regular. Only 1-2 mishaps in an otherwise stellar career. While this doesn’t to the level of any kind of mishap, it’s just goofy. But Edward’s otherwise embarrasses himself once a year at least in a way that prevents him from being at THAT level.
AE is loved bc he is authentic and keeps it real. LeBron’s game is respected no doubt but his personality is just so phony it’s off putting. Everything about him is a PR focus group very little feels authentic. Give me a real person with his flaws.
I mean both of them are millionaires, but only one of them is a billionaire. Ant could be that. Hell, maybe he will be despite his constant off court stupidity. Contracts are crazy these days.
You just completely went off track here
He made a joke about Disney and the Eiffel Tower
I said there was nothing wrong with this in a vacuum, just that he’s goofy as hell and problematic in countless other ways.
Why are you all so concerned with who the face of the league is. I don’t get it.
https://youtu.be/V9O94UTDAJQ?is=FPRExDTqc1gt9_I-
You sent da video
lol that is a great response.
He’s funny as fuck and I appreciate the authenticity, but nobody really seems to want to be the best American player, with which I believe comes with being a kind of ambassador of the game which he is, but only the goofiest way.
