Anthony Edwards dissed Jayson Tatum, basically saying he ain't all that after watching the documentary. Edwards on Tatum and Edwards locked JT up twice.

The Wolves/Celtics rivalry is going to be heated!
Ant wishes there was a rivalry, lol.
Nah Boston has more rivalries than most but Minny ain't on the list.
Yeah, there is no rivalry with Minnesota to speak of unless you count taking them to the cleaners in the KG trade.
Somewhat serious question: Is Ant closer to Michael Jordan or JR Smith? Or is he the exact median of the two?
Kobe
Does he have Kobe's work ethic or drive to win?
I'd say Vince Carter.
Ant has already surpassed Vince Carter.
Has he? Antman is good but I don?t think he?s half man half amazing.
I think Vince's career is over-rated.
His peak was in Toronto. His team only made the playoffs three times in 6 years (Vince missed one with injury, so only 2 playoff appearances for him). They only got out of the first round once. He played like a dog in his first series against NY as his team got swept (30% FG%). He played crap in the first round the following season again against NY (37.6% FG%) but his teammates saved his ass. He had his one and only playoff series with the Raptors in the following round against Philly with that great duel between him and Iverson.
Then he goes to New Jersey. He is effectively replacing Kenyon Martin. A team that went to the Finals twice. A team that played Detroit extremely tough in the ECSF the previous year with Kenyon. A team that was a title contender or at least an Eastern Contender with Kenyon. Vince is clearly a superior individual player than Kenyon. Yet NJ never gets close the same success with Vince.
NJ were a regular season team and playoff pretender with Vince. He has Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson alongside him. It is not like he had no help. They lacked interior muscle but that is some serious top end talent with those three.
Vince has just a 51.8% TS% in his three playoff runs with the Nets. And the Nets completely fell apart when they traded Jason Kidd. Never sniffed the playoffs again with Vince as their leader.
Then he leaves NJ and goes to Orlando. Basically a role player whether as a starter in Orlando and Phoenix to a bench player the rest of the way.
For all Vince's talent, he never achieved great heights.
