Thanks. Some sort of blocker here at work won't allow me to post Youtube.
Bet Draymond and Westbrook won't talk shit anymore. Going to be no more room for posters to hang on the wall.
This is a new era for the Wolves. The kind of respect KG used to get.

Two footer take-off from the bottom of the free-throw circle in game and effortless. That's some mad ups.

Here's BR's list from Dec 2023 of the top 20 players in the league. Ant is oddly at 17 (behind KAT at 16) - but you have to take into account he was out a few games right around then with his hip injury - so there was a little uncertainty about how he'd do coming back. Anyway, what's your take on how Refs treat these 20 - and conversely how much continual carping these guys do to the refs? i guess my point is - does Ant observe top players in the league chirping constantly at the refs and he sees that as a viable path to gaining an advantage with the refs?

Jokic
Shai
Embiid
Freak
Hali
Durant
Tatum
Maxey
Bron
Doncic
Trae
AD
Steph
Sabo
Fox
KAT
Ant
Dame
Brunson
Bam

Ant going global with that dunk last night.

Anthony Edwards goes off the backboard for wild dunk in second-half takeover vs. Grizzlies

Anthony Edwards has looked closer and closer to a superstar every year of his NBA career. On some nights, such as Thursday, he has made an argument he's already there.

Nearly as good as the dunk was the reaction from the Wolves bench.

Chet's looked like me doing that to my kid's 5 ft plastic hoop. Not impressive.

I just found it funny how close it was to what Chet pulled four weeks earlier.

I wouldnt doubt Ant recounting Chet's and then last night submitting his own version.

Kuzma wins the backboard dunk. side note, screw that foul call, you try the backboard dunk, its a fair game for rugby style stopping you/getting the ball

Are we sure he didn't just flop there? That just seemed bizarre and awkward from beginning to end with little contact.

oh for sure he did, looks like 21 did lightly hip check him but not enough to make him flail like an embiid 3 foot floater. my comment was also more in general that if you have stopped your dribble and want to do a backboard bounce, it should be more fair game to attack on D.

I am not have a great Wolves mind, but when they came into existence and Harlan was the voice I was at an age when I and many friends that were very hockey centric paid quite a bit of attention.

Harlan was such a gem to have calling games and I hated seeing him leave even though it always felt like it was inevitable. imho easily one of the best of his era for all sports. And still going strong.

It's not like either of them invented it. But yeah, I'm going to sit up and take more notice of a 6-4 player doing it than a 7-1 player doing it.

Tracy McGrady did it in an all-star game like 20 years ago. That was the first time I saw it in competition. It’s been a staple show off dunk for decades.

I saw a 6-0 guy do it in on a breakaway in an Army intramural game I was playing in back in the early 80s in Germany. Reverse jam as well. He was an athletically gifted young soldier. It's been a street ball move for a long time - just interesting to see someone pull it out in an NBA game.

I wish he would do more of those coming out of nowhere to snatch the rebound out of the air and dunking it.
