He is averaging MJ stats at 32+ PPG, 6+ RPG, & 5+ APG with Steve Nash and Kevin Durant efficiency at 50% FG, 40% 3P, & 85% FT%… All of that with great handles and ball control, involving his teammates, playing stellar defense, & has the unbreakable confidence of all the greats… Truly generational!

Ant was straight up carrying the team on offense in that first half. If the team can be more consistent in the first half, even if Ant doesn’t pop off in the first quarter, Nuggets will have a tough time.

That last bucket from one end to the other end of the court was easy because Denver was in total shock that they lost the game.
