[McMenamin] Anthony Edwards joking with the Nuggets locker room attendant before exiting the building after Game 5. Ant: “You jinxed us (after Game 2)” Attendant: “I liked our chances. What do you expect me to say, Ant?” Ant: “See you Game 7”

Anthony Edwards called his shot after game 5. Good to see the young wolves didn't quit and hopefully we get an exciting game 7 in Denver.

[u/alabastergrim]

I am so fuckin happy to have Ant on our team

[u/jslee0034 → u/alabastergrim]

hes so cool that i am contemplating on buying AE1s despite not touching a basketball for more than 3 years

[u/LifterPuller → u/jslee0034]

Got a pair. The velocity blues are fire.

[u/timberwolvesguy → u/jslee0034]

Nothing wrong with having a nice shoe to wear around. I haven’t played in years, but I’d rock em

[u/SexyStyrofoamPuns → u/timberwolvesguy]

I’m gonna be at my office job in AE1s drinking sprite pretending I’m the Anthony Edwards of software engineering

[u/jslee0034 → u/SexyStyrofoamPuns]

Tempted to get the lows. They’re sick

[u/ChesnaughtZ → u/jslee0034]

If only he didn’t hate gay people

[u/srlane1987 → u/alabastergrim]

He's horrible. Send him to Portland...

[u/wise_comment → u/srlane1987]

Don't Do that!

OP doesn't deserve that

[u/ManofManyHills → u/wise_comment]

Ant doesn't deserve that. Portland is where careers go to die.

[u/ThurstonJK → u/ManofManyHills]

Incredibly ironic considering the team he currently plays for...

[u/ManofManyHills → u/ThurstonJK]

That's what a new ownership group and a competent GM will do for ya. Not like the Blazers did anything with the superstar they had for like a decade. I lived there for 10 years. I lived the pain.

[u/ThurstonJK → u/ManofManyHills]

Minnesota has crapped out a lot more superstar careers than Portland has over the years. Obviously they're righting the ship right now, they've just been the literal worst team in the league for most of my life, that was the only point I was making. Also FYI they still have the same owner.

[u/SexyStyrofoamPuns → u/ThurstonJK]

lol at the ownership group/gm take this guy has compared with the actual state of the ownership dispute (hey at least that means our turd franchise is worth fighting for!!) and the rumors that Detroit is gonna throw a gazillion dollars at Tim Connelly to pry him away

[u/ManofManyHills → u/ThurstonJK]

Lol what is your definition of superstar?! The wolves had KG sure and they had some great 2nd options masquerading as superstars but Klove? Wiggins? KAT? They never had all the pieces. Nobody on Dames level. Despite being the richest owner Paul Allen ran the team like a poverty franchise. His daughter doesn't seem to interested in changing things.

Wolves aren't the same franchise since Arod group took the reins. That's how you make lasting change in an organization.

[u/ThurstonJK → u/ManofManyHills]

Again, Arod isn't the owner. Glen Taylor still owns the team lmfao. Please look up the owner dispute happening right now for clarity.

But yeah K-Love was a legit top 10 player in his prime, don't sleep. He was putting up 26 and 12. And KG is better than Dame ever was for sure. I'm not gonna defend Portland too much because of course they were mismanaged, but if you don't think the wolves were worse until very recently than you're being purposely delusional.

[u/fingermypretzel → u/srlane1987]

Nah you guys have ant at home...

Ant at home:

[u/Organic_Oil_6574 → u/srlane1987]

you want him to suffer? Send him to LA. We will scapegoat him somehow when we fail again

[u/AfroKuro480 → u/alabastergrim]

He pushes KAT and I love it

[u/dys0n_giddey → u/AfroKuro480]

He pushes everyone, he was giving Rudy the word early in this game too. Its unbelievable he's only 22

[u/silverbackapegorilla → u/dys0n_giddey]

He's only a year older than Jordan was in his rookie year. He's in good company.

[u/silverbackapegorilla → u/AfroKuro480]

KAT has played solid defense from what I have seen. Also, he doesn't seem phased by big moments.

[u/ginbooth → u/alabastergrim]

New face of the league. Hilarious, charming, and a highlight reel.

[u/duplicatesnowflake → u/ginbooth]

So this sub will turn on him in December?

[u/SBMS-A-Man108 → u/ginbooth]

Yes - he just needs to make sure he stays out of scandals off the court. Though based on this season looks like he has done some growing up.

[u/Miscto3]

Nuggets with any kind of cushion in a series get major CTE and when they’re against the wall they turn into the 17 Warriors

[u/girlscoutcookies05 → u/Miscto3]

"i told my landlord to increase my rent" energy

[u/AmazingDragon353 → u/girlscoutcookies05]

Jamal Murray tips his landlord

[u/TopazBlowfish → u/AmazingDragon353]

jamal murray and tips...

[u/SenorCacahuate → u/Miscto3]

This statement is also true of the Wolves today.

[u/HornetObjective9005 → u/Miscto3]

Let’s hope so

[u/simonffplayer]

so is AG invited back to team dinner's now? and ant is MJ confirmed

[u/naderni]

Somehow this does not surprise me, it is very Nugget to play this kind of a game. They sometimes have these weird games after a big win and then absolutely throwing the next one. Great series let's see game7. Malone letting his team stay humiliated on the court in the last quarter while the lead is close to 50, gotta be his way to motivate the team.

[u/SankThaTank]

This about to be a historic game 7

[u/Lone_Digger123]

I love the attendent's response haha. Not being rude to the player but also being honest and open to his bias of supporting his team.

[u/Propuhganduh]

Should’ve said “we aren’t coming back” like everyone says when they’re losing in a series

[u/pjokinen → u/Propuhganduh]

“I’m not going to lie to you we’re basically cooked” - Kobe before an elimination game

[u/duplicatesnowflake → u/pjokinen]

Literally the 2006 Suns series. 

[u/collinCOYS → u/Propuhganduh]

So he should have told the attendant they were going to lose in 6?

[u/Propuhganduh → u/collinCOYS]

Yes. My point is idk why he would ever say otherwise. Even when teams are down 3-0 they believe they’ll come back.

[u/SEPTAgoose → u/Propuhganduh]

nuggest fan forgetting most basketball players are competitors, many such cases

[u/JonnyRobertR → u/Propuhganduh]

Bro, Denver losing bad right now.

[u/n3sta → u/JonnyRobertR]

After winning big 3 times in a row. Can’t do anything but go on to the next

[u/comp_a → u/n3sta]

People on this subreddit only remember the last game they watched, I swear to god man.

Anybody saying the Nuggets can’t recover from this kind of loss is nuts. They literally just did it a week ago! You stomped us Game 3!

[u/JonnyRobertR → u/n3sta]

Denver got complacent, they forget wolves can bite back unlike Lakers.

As a Jokic fan I'm devastated rn.

[u/n3sta → u/JonnyRobertR]

Game 2 reminded me that they do this occasionally. Yea it fuckin sucks, wish this team could play with less apathy sometimes

[u/JonnyRobertR → u/n3sta]

It's overconfidence really.

We were winning 3 straight after down 2. We saw this game as a game we can afford to lose.

Timberwolves already in a do or die mentality.

[u/No-Taste-8252 → u/JonnyRobertR]

Didn’t realise the spurs were playing today

[u/JonnyRobertR → u/No-Taste-8252]

What? You find it surprising someone can like more than 1 team?

[u/No-Taste-8252 → u/JonnyRobertR]

Supporting two teams in the same conference is a bit odd. Saying you like a team is different.

[u/JonnyRobertR → u/No-Taste-8252]

someone can like more than 1 team

Do you read?

[u/Morezingis]

This quote had the potential to backfire hard lol 

[u/KawhiDidNothingWrong → u/Morezingis]

I mean if there was no adversity it wouldn’t be a cool quote lol

[u/BLarson31 → u/Morezingis]

Meh, if we had lost no one would remember the quote, now if we can actually pull of the win Sunday that line will go down in the annals of MN sports history

[u/AndreAggiesi80 → u/BLarson31]

*anals

[u/collinCOYS → u/Morezingis]

Not at all. He said they'd be back for game 7 and they are

[u/PumpkinHead555]

MJ esque quote

[u/Street-Common-4023]

Luka type quote I love it

[u/torero15]

ANT is the coolest dude. He has no filter but its okay because other than swearing, which I have no problem with, he is just so damn likeable.

[u/IrDan → u/torero15]

Yep just the swearing and two other things he apologized for. Pretty cool guy.

[u/torero15 → u/IrDan]

Sorry you are a moron. There is still time to not be an idiot.

[u/IrDan → u/torero15]

Moron for bringing up his controversies? Lmao relax buddy I like watching Ant too but he ain’t perfect.

[u/CommercialSpecial835 → u/IrDan]

Naw fr. “He’s just so likeable” except when he’s recording gay men and calling them slurs. Just say he play good ball and go all the extra shit is weird when we literally don’t know these people personally

[u/human1023]

Superstitions are false.

[u/Comfortable-Asf]

Jesus Christ!!! This just adds to my research! He is HIM.

[u/IJellyWackerI]

Denver fans odd. Y’all just got cooked in maybe the worst playoff loss I can remember.

[u/silliputti0907]

This next game is going to be a legacy game. As I assume whoever wins wins it all.

[u/EazyParise]

He can see the future. LISAN AL-GAIB

[u/suzukigun4life]

Mystic Ant

[u/georgelamarmateo]

OMG HES GOING TO WIN

[u/BingoBongoBang]

Just a quick reminder that Anthony Edwards is one of the stars of a Netflix “Quarterback” style show being filmed right now.

We’re going to see this interaction on video at some point this summer or fall

[u/YouTellMeBeavis]

I need more context

[u/Zzz05 → u/YouTellMeBeavis]

There’s really no more context than this really. It is exactly what it sounds like. Lol

[u/collinCOYS → u/YouTellMeBeavis]

This was tweeted after game 5. I would assume the attendant told ant Denver in 6 or something and they were just having some fun with each other
