Did he say that, and I missed it? I can’t find verification on the internet, and Lue has seen some pretty great players along the way!


This includes young Kobe.

ANT should be in the talk for MVP, definitely. He is better for me than Luka who is only a one way player.

MVP is based on the regular season unfortunately.

I don’t think so, but Ant takes his game to another level in the playoffs. He’s been at an MVP level in the playoffs.

Yep. He’ll have to settle for NBA Finals MVP

He's still got 15 years of playing left I reckon. That's enough to win a few regular season MVPs.

Ant follows a 40 point close out game with a 43 point road win. This is the stuff that legends are made of. People will be asking if he is doing this at 22, what will he be doing at 25.

I can't believe he is only 22s...

Sometimes he continues to make wrong choices, putting himself in difficult situations that lead to turnovers or forcing... but guys, if he fixes this aspect too, he really becomes him..
"...I want to compliment him, we all expected that he would take up the game, we have prepared the plan race on him, we have doubled. And, as usual, he did what he wanted..."

Edwards has improved a lot as passer. Here is the next level: execute such passes in every game.
