Michael Jordan Was TOTALLY Right About Anthony Edwards, Now Everyone Is Curious…

Michael Jordan already told us everything we needed to know about Anthony Edwards 4 years later everyone is curious ESPN Insider Tim McMahon said on the hoop Collective podcast that one NBA Scout believes Anthony Edwards is the next Michael Jordan Anthony and Edwards he not going to be a star he

Going to be a superar hold up really calling someone the next MJ is hollowed ground Reser D for guys like LeBron Kobe and dwade and in all of those cases the young player fell just a bit short so you might chalk the scouts quote as overhyping a talented young player

Right oh the step back on stru oh baby but this isn’t the first guy to compare ant to MJ this is coming from Patrick Beverly who played alongside super star shooting guard James Harden man I if I say this man I know y’all go

World go look at me like I’m crazy and I go put all that pressure on that kid but I told him man I told him man you got a chance man you got a chance brother to be Michael Jordan brother you really do you really do you think he knows a

Little bit about greatness right now this was also when Pat Bev was literally teammates with Anthony Edwards so you can kind of take it with a grain of salt and if you see a number you don’t recognize it could be a Spam call or MJ

Just like use your butt more and create more space and you going to be on guard when Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets had the third pick in the 2020 draft MJ knew ant was going to be the best player in the class A more athletic bigger version of Mike that’s dangerous

Four years later Anthony Edwards has more than lived up to being the number one pick in the draft and the comparison is starting to look scary G McMahon wanted to be clear that when he compared Ant-Man to Michael Jordan he purely meant being a dominant two-way player and that’s exactly what Edwards

Has become after a decent 2023 campaign the Timberwolves started scorching hot going into this new season in their first six games they beat the Nuggets and the Celtics you know just the two heavy pre-season title favorites but more importantly he did not back down from guarding Jason Tatum this is old

School basketball my best against your best both sides of the Court he was not scared to wrestle Tatum for loose balls not giving an inch during a close fourth quarter and OT luckily he caught me up for ISO and tried to ISO me and I’m like

I play defense I just got foul foul he was smack at Jump baller overtime and I told him like coming again yeah Anthony Edwards can play defense it’s refreshing to have an offensive superstar that the opposition doesn’t want guarding them in OT Edwards ended up with 38 points seven

Assists and a dub Edwards yes sir this season he’s putting up 265 and five while arguably being the best defensive Wing player among all MVP candidates he’s allowing Carl Anthony towns to be what he is a secondary scorer and a big body on defense the Rudy gobear trade is suddenly not

Looking like the franchise altering disaster it once was thanks to Edward’s ability to control the offense and hang defensively on the edges maybe this MJ comp is way off you can’t be the next MJ without a couple ranks you’ve got to be able to will your team through a couple rounds

To get the goat Crown so far Edwards has not done that but is he on the right trajectory Edwards missed the playoffs as a rookie that’s fine he was 19 years old and they just had the number one pick but by his second season he was already dragging the Timberwolves to the

Playoffs inota onepoint lead 2 minutes into the third Edwards again remember this was the first time the this terrible franchise had even qualified for the postseason since that 2014 team other than a 2018 season when they had Jimmy Butler for like 20 minutes to be able to drag a perennial

Loser of a team with a quote unquote star in Carl Anthony towns as a 20-year-old that is jordanes Jordan made the playoffs his first three seasons including his rookie year but you got to put an asterisk by that stat this was when the league had

23 teams and still had 16 teams in the playoffs that’s 70% of the league Jordan’s Bulls weren’t above 500 until his fourth season when they finished with 50 wins and he won his first playoff series the Chicago Bulls have won their first ever NBA championship fourth season right where Edwards is

Right now if Anthony Edwards starts willing his team through the playoffs does a Jordan comp start making more sense he’s already been stepping up his game in the first round averaging a career-high 28 points in those 11 games proving that he has an absolute dog inside of him which is exactly why the

Jordan comp makes sense what is Michael Jordan’s secret stuff it’s not his shooting ability or his defense or his ball handling passing playmaking or anything tangible like that Michael Jordan is the greatest play player of all time because he is a competitive psycho whether it’s gambling on cards

Golf or literally anything that he can win Jordan will fight like a dog to master the craft and then dominate that’s why his alltime meme is it became personal with me and that’s why some are even saying that Anthony Edwards could be MJ’s kid more than Jimmy Butler but let’s not go there

Compare that MJ quote to Edwards getting feisty when Tatum demanded to ISO him in a close game or look at how much Edwards has put into his craft in the last 3 years after a rookie season where people questioned whether he was the right pick at number

One remember 2020 yeah that was a weird year in sports among other things the 2020 March Madness was cancelled thanks to co right before it was scheduled to begin partly because of that most fans and even some Scouts had no idea who the right pick was at number one a lot of

People thought it was lamelo ball who had played with the big boys as a pro in Australia lamelo had the pedigree a baller big brother and a loudmouth dad as well as legit action as a pro athlete Edwards was an athletic scorer who didn’t seem to care admitting that

He doesn’t watch basketball and even saying things like when we were talking about KD you said you think think he’s the greatest player yeah ever or right now ever really cuz he’s 7et and can do everything in point guard can be over Jordan yeah over LeBron yeah wow he make

People they miserable when they got a guard Charlotte owned by MJ fell to the third pick even then Jordan knew that Edwards was going to be the best guy in the draft Steve Kerr wasn’t so sure I was going through the drills and he kept stoping and I’m like that’s all you got

That’s all you got and I’m like bro I’m going hard as you want me to go like what you want me to do I’m sweating crazy he like man you got to see Steph and KD and Clay workout Kerr didn’t believe Edwards was giving it his all he

Saw the talent but the drive wasn’t there so Edwards did what any Jordan esque player would do and I was just like damn that’s crazy so me and my trainer ran home after dinner and we just talking like bro we got to pick it

Up I don’t know how I don’t know what we got to do like but we got to pick it up and I think think after that man it just I became a mad man in the gym and like I just I try to work to I’m tired I’m

Exhausted Edwards went number one two spots before Jordan could get him both ant and lamelo had nice rookie Seasons but thanks to the flashiness of his game lamelo ended up winning rookie of the year since then it hasn’t been close lamelo hasn’t made the playoffs once putting up meaningless stats but serving

As a fan favorite Edwards has put in the work to develop a good three-point shot become a better passer and serve as a functioning floor General at times maybe the voters were right maybe lamelo was better as a rookie but with Anthony Edwards fiercly competitive Spirit there

Was no way he wasn’t going to improve and prove everybody wrong that same thing happened this summer on the FBA team which will be remembered as the point Edwards took the leap to join the NBA’s Elite in this era of USA Basketball not a lot of guys sued up to

Represent the US on the international stage often times it’s clear that the final roster isn’t really the best of the best even so USA Coach Steve Kerr wasn’t sure Edwards was one of the five starting guys together the coaching staff had settled on four starters Jaylen Brunson jiren Jackson Jr Mel

Bridges and Brandon Ingram for the fifth spot they eventually settled on cam Johnson C saw the same things he did in pre-draft workouts sure Edwards is talented but does he care enough to win is he going to go all out Kurt told ant that he could be a sixth man like Dwayne

Wade on the 2008 Olympic team behind Kobe Bryant Edwards said sure he’d do whatever coach asked him to do but then he looked around like like none of these other guys are Kobe so just like he did as a rookie ant hit the gym like a madman eventually it

Was settled Anthony Edwards was a starter looking back it’s crazy to ever think it was a competition Edwards finished as the US’s leading scorer 18.9 points per game in top 15 in the tournament cam Johnson dead last on Team USA three points per game on 24% shooting it’s almost like

Ker knew one of these guys was significantly better than the other and just needed a push to fuel his competitive Spirit now Edwards is looking like the next Superstar we saw flashes over the last few years we saw the dunks the big games the Improvement

We saw him step up in the playoffs even taking a game off the eventual Champion nuggets last year something LeBron couldn’t even do but now we seeing Anthony Edwards carry an otherwise mediocre team to Greatness can they win the title this season they have had a few problems finishing close games so occasionally

Edwards has had to scratch the drawn up plays and just do it himself you want to look at the t-wolves and say no way this is the Timberwolves they cannot win a title but imagine saying that about the Warriors in 2012 the heat in 2003 or that’s right the Bulls in

1984 it never looks like a team can get over the hump early on but if they have the right guy they eventually will and Anthony Edwards is that guy is an the next Michael Jordan is he already the best two-way Wing in the league can the Timberwolves actually win the title this
