I said something similar during the Canada/France game, he is like a 125% enlarged version of Lowry.

Ant hasn’t really been that great, lot of black hole moments for him this summer. And everyone already knew Booker is the best SG in the league.

I thought Ant played poorly last game too so nice to see him bounce back especially giving max effort on defense.

True but it will evolve to Lebron vs. X (Wemby?). Lebron is the greatest ever and any other thinking will get phased out in the coming decades
