Why are you being obtuse over this matter? Why waste my time with this shyt? Why fake it in front of these folks just for some cheap daps?

Ant's retaliating to what's been said about him. He feels disrespected that all his blood, sweat and tears is being downplayed because the conditions aren't tough enough. We can argue about the merits (or lack thereof) around what exactly he said, but all that really matters here is why he said it. He said it because old heads are disrespectful. Point. Blank. Period. Ant is only giving out the same energy that has been thrown his way.

Miss me with all this empty ass "we're always taught to respect out elders" bullshyt.

The problem is OGs don't give newer/current players respect because they're always talking about how they don't measure up to the past.
Point out quotes that have been said to Ant man himself. Dont give me general quotes. Find me a direct quote in which someone downplayed Ants greatness because he "didnt measure up to the last" before he said what he said recently

What i seen is praise for Ant Man. He was being compared to Michael Jordan and said he was going to be the face of the league








This is praise of Edwards. Show me someone directly saying Edwards is lesser before he said what he said

I'm a fan of Edwards like many people, but some of his comments lately have been bad. To say that the NBA of the '70s, '80s, and '90s were devoid of talent outside of MJ is absurd.

Yes, MJ was great but he's not the “be-all-end-all” of NBA greatness. There's been many great skillful players before MJ and during his run. Ant's comments sounds just like a stereotypical immature NBA that only knows a few players (MJ, Bron, Kobe, etc) and watched a few highlight videos.

Magic cooked him and rightfully so. Ant's biggest accomplishments right now are beating the Nuggets, making it to the WCF (despite embarrassingly losing), and winning a gold medal but he hasn't proven much of anything in the realm of NBA status.

The perfect young nikka illustration of when they discover mitch richmond.


You young nikkaz do no digging in the crate and no one is fooled that you do.

Only time one saw Mitch on TV was when he played either the Bulls on WGN or when he played the Hawks and they were on TNT or TBS.

Maybe an NBC playoff game 1st round.

Mitch was on TV night in and night out lol

Mitch gave MJ the blues one game I saw back in 96 I wanna say

Quoted and put in bold for emphasis.

Now which galaxy did you see this version of Mitch, because here on Planet Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy, he was not that player.

That Minny squad wasn't ready to win last season. It's as simple as that. They weren't battle-tested, they didn't have the appropriate guard and wing depth and their #2 option is too damn volatile to really be leaned on for a championship-run, especially if you don't have a high-level playmaker to keep him in rhythm. Replacing Ant with Mitch isn't going to fix their structural and personnel issues, even if you want to argue that Mitch is better than him (which at the same age, he wasn't).


What ever intangibles and skill Ant man has. Again mitch was way nicer than him.
Ain't too many shooting guards in history nIcer than mitch Richard you goofie.
If Ant man thinks no one was nicer than him.
I proposed mitch was nicer than dude in a much harder physical league era. With a better everything than antman.
Plus mitch was taller by two to three Inches legit.

As a natural shooting guard height.

Not antman being undersized at the two.
Which back then...
A guard Ant man undersized self would never have actually materialized from sheer height requirements to succeed.

Of which he would have gotten injured being undersized by simple proxy.
plus and at best been A wash at getting to the offs just like mitch was.

Yet you on here trying to play mitch like he was Jason Richardson or Michael Finley.
When again.
Before the ai, Wade's or kobe's. The nicest skill player at sg of all time were mike, Sam Jones snd mitch.

Of which incomparison to skill as a ball player.
mitch was more proficient and nicer than ai, kobe and wade.
Plus any outlier high flying nc alum forward or gusrd like stackhouse to vince.
Or wanna be successful mike types like Jason Richard on to Michael finley[who beat jordsn in high school on tv back in the day btw. Of which what channel did it air on?]

mitch just played for a ownership group.
that had no idea and was not on shyt..
till they sold to the group that made the successful kings.
that lost to a headlining shaq and robin in kobe.

Where in that. Mitch was now eventually on those laker squads. Hobbled yet there.

mitch just never got a send off from injury like kobe and others were afforded. Yet in history mitch by skill, proficiency and height is really the next best nicest sg of all time. That if you had a draft and a pick after the obvious jordan pick. The next smartest person to pick.
who was more proficient than kobe and also as tall as Mike at the two all time was mitch.

When mitch was that nikka.

You one of these outlier non basketball nikkaz.
who a homer stan and knows nuffin about basketball.

Illustrated by when asked what galaxy did you watch these kings games. Yo goof ass start talking about out of space shyt like a goofie. When if you really watched the nba frfr.
as long as you try to flaug. You would know that galaxies refer to satellite stations and channels you goofie.
Or you would have given the west coast affiliate you could have watched mitch as a warrior with run tmc. or as the next best player in the league behind mike as a sactown king.

Yet another exposal. You never know what the fukk you talembout in depthy at all. That all it takes is getting you to run your goof ass mouth. Then expose everything from your nonpurposeful babbling word salad. That you erroneously and falsely.
like to try to post old school news paper clipping style stats to illustrate your point. All because you do not watch the nba historically. As you have no reference point.
or knowledge or even watching the nba historically.
Yousa flsug'n ass liar.


Of which I have always exposed you as a flaug"n homer baed phoney. With no idea of anything in the nba history past homer glory.

Which is why I mentioned galaxies in passing.
As you would have needed an actual real ol school nasa dish in your yard.
to watch mitch out west. Which back in the day we had access to.

Which is how I saw all the mike Westcoast swings. Back in the day

before cable was even in chicsgo actual metro area.
Of which...nikkaz need to know what channel.
or galaxy the bulls aired on. When it was not wgn.
nor an original monopoly buyout component of the fox sportnet affiliates later on as well.

Which is why I talk about galaxies. Which connotate satellite settings.
Which was the way you saw other nba players.
before cable was in the inner cities.

Why does he have to? His generation is always being attacked by older heads. Look at who you were cheerleading for earlier with Michael Cooper
