Honesty in my option I think it is going to be Anthony Edwards. I always thought it was gonna be Zion. But the consistency isn’t there. And just seeing Anthony Edward plays over the past few years it’s hard to put someone next to him for that spot. Tatum I can see but he don’t seem to be a dog like Ant. But I love Tatum game though!

    Edwards is kind of an idiot, the league doesn’t want the “face of the league” to have 15 kids by 15 different women.

      Also the homophobic comments got swept under the rug pretty quickly - I’d imagine they’d come back to bite him in the ass if he was tapped for that position

        Even strictly basketball-wise, what exactly makes him the “face of the league”? He isn’t nearly that good lol. Face of the league isn’t a fringe top 10 guy going into his 5th season, let’s stop this nonsense.

          It’s not strictly basketball though, Vince Carter and Joe Johnson have remarkably similar career averages and accolades, Vince was one of the faces in the league whereas Iso Joe was more of a “if you know ball you know how good he was” type of guy.

          There’s a reason Ant has been hyped up as possible face of the league since his rookie year, his personality and showmanship.

          He’s the type of guy who could knock it out of the park in late night TV, who NBA media loves, who could host SNL someday.

        the “face of the league” is not for people who are going to r/nba, its for casuals who don’t even know this exists

        It’s impossible to watch him raise his children because having that many kids by that many different mothers means he’s spending zero time raising any of them and much more time impregnating more women. Combination sperm donor/ATM.
