Do you guys think Anthony Edwards can be the NEXT MJ in this generation of the NBA?
Yes, Anthony Edwards is the best guard current
No. It’s impossible. There will never be a generation that has MJ. No matter how good someone becomes, and it will be a long time before anyone comes close to being as great as Jordan was. No one has ever come close to being as good a basketball player as MJ. Not close. Kobe was the nearest, but a long way away. MJ is an anomaly. A god. You can’t compare a god to mortals.
No, no I do not.
@@Gabriel_Moline yes, there is Anthony Edwards doesn’t need to win championship right now he could wait six more years Michael Jordan on his first championship at 28
@@Gabriel_MolineLeBron is better
Agree with Ant and his greatness, but calling the wolves mediocre is crazy. Gobert’s dominance this year is way too understated. 2 all stars, probably 3 all defense players in NAW, Mcdaniels, and Gobert. Naz Reid is the best bench player in basketball. I think it’s fine to acknowledge that Ant will be one of the great ones without disparaging a fantastic, well-built roster. I’ve watched every wolves game this season.
Gobert is -800 to win DPOY and we’re not even at all star break and KAT averaged 28/10/5 in January.
don't forget towns, he's literally the 2nd best defender amongst big men across the league behind gobert
Let’s see what they do in the playoffs.
NAW all defense???????? I’m a Wolves fan but stop it lmfao wtf
@@JKLeScH777yeah that’s cap lol ant is prolly all defender this year. I’m shook bro said NAW but not ant… that’s weird
He’s the next ANTHONY EDWARDS
htf is this correct? hahah does he and his dad have the same names?
@@kangkongko7503no hes basically saying hes gonna make a name for himself. like his name will be known
The first Anthony Edwards. Not the next Michael Jordan.
MJ was amazing statistically.. But he would out WILL everyone on the court to win games. That’s what separates him.
Makes zero sense
Ant is the only guard that's willing to guard the other teams best wing player. You name a all star guard and they're not guarding ant like that.
yup, the rest of the league is soft. Ant can guard and still produce on both ends. Klay used to be able to be decent at that, obviously before the injuries. Can't think of another player in this era that does that.
Donovan Mitchell
@@the3goodlemons 🤣
@@the3goodlemonswhen has Donovan Mitchell guarded Tatum like Ant did😂😂😂😂 Ant seeks these matchups out and is starting to step up and take games over
Lebron run away every time 😂
Against Denver last playoffs, he averaged 40. He played us tougher than Booker, Butler, and Bron.
30 not 40.
who is us?
@@garygnu8775clearly he’s a Nuggets fan
They won 1 game . 8 seed team but they played y’all tougher you’re tripping
He didn’t average 40 it was 30. Booker has beat y’all before so unless I’m trippin and the Wolves actually beat the Nuggets than you gotta chill and give DBook and co the respect they deserve cuz they actually knocked y’all ass out the playoffs and went on to the finals.
Ant has made KATs game so much easier its crazy. And if when KAT ever goes Ant would average close to if not 40.
KATs gone now and Ant isn't averaging "40" but he aint doin to bad.
@@Eat-Z-Bugs 31 7 and 7....but he's going to need to average 40 if KAT isn't quite healthy for the playoffs. I don't see a dependable #2 scorer. Maybe Naz?
Honestly ever since his rookie year I felt like, “Man, something about him reminds me of Mike.” His moves aren’t MJ like Kobe’s was. But I can’t really put my finger on it. He seems very competitive, he attacks the basket, he has a great vertical and body control in the air, even his power dunks look graceful, he plays great defense. Just something about the kid I really like. I understand the MJ comp. But it’s only MJ-very-lite.
Same feeling here. Always felt MJ vibes when I see Ant play, but can't really put a finger on it.
Lite as it may be. But I haven’t had the omg draw drops an glimpses since mj played
Yea he does give mj vibes. Even his mannerisms and movements, but especially his energy. He plays w a confident aggression and at times seemingly toys with his opponents. But id have to see a lot more to say next mj, if he were, we'd all know it without question because he'd be so far beyond everyone else that the whole world would be in awe. I wanna see him get even more aggressive more determined, love that sht n its rare these days
Look at prime Wade. He's more like Wade in his style. But not quite because each player is unique. Kobe modeled his game on MJ's but more on MJ's post baseball period. He couldn't match MJ's "air Jordan" period.
I’m on the social security train now, I’m not gonna disrespect any past players or make comparisons, but if I was building a franchise today, Mr. Edwards would be in the top five, bar none 💯.😊
I agree. Ultimately, I'd go with Shai or possibly Luka. The thing is, when I see these super athletic guys I worry about injuries. Shai uses deception and speed but also has skill. He may not look like the defender Ant is but his defensive numbers are excellent. Shai is a great player too.
Brother the hell with this long ass Aura ad?
I just fast forward and skip it
We should get paid with all those ads shoved down our throat! KZhead already getting money!
Word long as hell I even skipped some and it was still going lol
People like you are so pathetic.
use adblock don't understand you people complaing about ads when adblock exist.
NO ONE ON THIS PLANET OR IN THIS GALAXY WILL NEVER EVER.. EVER.. EVER BE MICHAEL JEFFERY JORDAN!!!
Facts!
Hard to disagree but I will. Kobe made it. He was that guy. I don’t know shit about Edwards yet but I’d love to see him blossom from where he’s at now.
Win titles then we talk, he working on one right now
As a T-Wolves fan my whole life, living through the longest run of not making the playoffs on NBA history, I am very happy with this current team. Edwards is a beast. He's gonna surprise everyone when he keeps improving
Awooo 🐺🌲
Lets...Go..Wolves!
Still love the Mar , Gnet squad more
@@ccskiandrun To each their own. That was a great squad, too, for sure
You're T Wolves look like they can compete with the nuggets. Ant & KAT are insanely good
Steve Kerr was hating on him because he reminded him of MJ who stole on him in practice back in the day lol
Steve Kerr knew they weren't going to draft him because he was going number one.... What he said to Ant was what Ant needed to hear. I don't think he was hating on him in the slightest bit.
I compared him to Jordan too, in another forum. I even said he may bring me back to watching the NBA. That's not to slight the great players the NBA has, because they have a number of them. Edwards just has that it factor that Jordan had. I still think he hasn't peaked to the skill set Jordan had, when he entered the NBA, but, for me to come back to the NBA, that speaks in volume.
You said what I could have never found the words for. I just came back to watching the sport when the playoffs started, and I haven’t watched the NBA in years. The first time I watched Edward’s play, I could instantly see that his style of play was influenced by Michael Jordan. He is so talented and entertaining to watch. I don’t understand the hate from others, no one is saying that he is going to BE the next Michael, but that you can definitely see where Edward’s is influenced by his playing style.
@@motionlessmusic The truth, well said.
He's a true superstar, not just in terms of ability but personality and his character. Once he starts to improve things like efficiency of shots and some bad games every now and then, hell be one of the big names
Look at where MJ was at this point in his career tho. Ants game is starting to REALLY come together and if he stays on this track he will be scary good
Bring him to NY
Here from the future. The mediocre Wolves just swept the Suns
What I admire about ant off the floor is how he throws the credit to his teammates every postgame interview just make your whole squad want to win and it shows as of now.
His stats are nowhere near Jordan's but let's respect the Ant Man for creating his own game and hopefully his own greatness.
He really does, but hes gotta put in the legendary body of work in the gym that MJ did. Gna have to keep the passion firey. Ppl forget MJ used to finish games with blood soaked sock n shoes. All so just in case a kid saw him play for the 1st time he wouldn't be let down. Rooting for you Ant. Ima called you AE, for Answer for Everything.
Antman being the next goat aside. That ad segway was so smooth.
Great video mate, and just so you know for next time, its "hallowed ground" as in holy or sacred ground; I used to get this wrong all the time!
Called Ant rookie MJ since 2020 thats a fact
Rookie MJ was putting up MVP numbers
And Edwards would have too if he hadn't had to share the mantle with KAT, to Garnett's point exactly
Who cares? You ain’t getting paid for that 🤷🏾♂️💁🏾♂️🗑️👎🏽
@@whenisdinner2137 it was more based off potential and looks at that time. Ant has added so much to his game every season
Rookie MJ was 22 years old. MJ also admitted he couldn’t play in the league at 19.
whos watching this after he swept the suns lol
Who’s watching this after he’s sweeping the Nuggets.
@@everythingielts9867wish he would’ve gotten the W 😢 next game though 💯
I just watched him and his team force game 7 with the insane 45 point beatdown I just witnessed!
BBQ 🍗 chicken
Currently watching after they sent the Nuggets home.
I agree i think he should focus on playing teamball. He proved that he can score , now he needs to get his team mates for involved so they can get more wins & a championship
I agree with your analysis with Ant. But Ant carrying a mediocre team? Idk about that. All of the starters for the T-Wolves are solid.
even some of the bench is solid. Especially my glorified Naz Reid
Naah they mediocre
@@Chiefssuperfan Yeah two words
nothing in the NBA matters until they fix defense
Have you seen the Wolves play or stats at all this year? They're the NUMBER 1 defensive team in the league. #Howl!
You obviously ain’t been watching the games this year or just clinging to an old stupid opinion that hasn’t really existed this year
The NBA has steadily increased in pts due to the constant rule changes that help offense. NBA isn't what it use to be. It's just iso ball, waiting for the center to step out of the paint to reset 3seconds and then go. Over, and over, and over again.
Just await until the Olympics. Team USA... not matters who plays... it's going to get beaten and badly.
@@thedatajanitor9537 Team USA clears all
He definitely got MJ characteristics in personality and playstyle
kid is the truth and the franchise is building for him. just wait
If Edwards is best two way guard now, you can only imagine what Kobe would be doing in this league...let alone MJ. The talent is there...i wish him luck
I've been a devoted Timberwolves fan since their beginning in 1989. Naturally, I'm also a big fan of ANT. While ANT possesses talent akin to MJ, to reach MJ's level, he needs the same unwavering leadership and work ethic that Jordan exemplified - qualities that don't come easily. Among players, only Kobe Bryant matched Jordan's level of determination. I wish ANT the best in reaching those heights, although it's nearly impossible to replicate.
Tim Grover trained both he should call that man....
only kobe bryant matched jordans determination? What on earth do you mean. Larry Legend, Magic and a bunch of others had "Jordans level of determination" Bird played with a broken back for most of his career...
@@prapra15777 Exactly. I can't stand all these myths about Kobe vs. other players. DWade didn't have determination? Duncan. Just because Kobe acted mean and unfriendly doesn't mean his determination trumped others.
@@benjaminsmith2287 seriously. There's a hundreds of guys that were just as determined as Kobe and Micheal. People are infatuated with them because they won a bunch of championships. Had they not, they would be unmentioned like Wade. Which is funny because Wade won 3 to Bryant's 5. I guess the extra 2 made the difference. But like you said he acted mean! haha. Acting mean + at least 5 titles = determination. Anything less then that doesn't qualify you for being determined enough haha
Even though he’s only 6’4” and Jordan is 6’6” Edwards has a lot of the similarities of playing like Mike. Jordan didn’t win a ring until he was in league like 7 years.
Really enjoyed this, Keep up the craft.👍
Only 22 years of age..i believed this young man a lot room for improvement..after his career in NBA im pretty sure he will down as one of all time great s..
He is HIM, GOAT
The 2020 class is different just because they had to skip the normal way we do the draft process. Imagine if that class had that time 😮
ANT will decide if he gets to the level of a Jordan. He has the talent to do it and will really only need to dedicate himself to the work model to get there. He has incredible skills. The way he can back step and hit shots or just dribble through even top players to get to the hoop is off the charts.
He was saying that MJ was bigger and more athletic than him and MJ gave him some advice of what to do about it. It doesn't make sense when you say "A more athletic, bigger version of Mike, that's dangerous!" Good vid aside from that :)
As Wolves fan, take it easy, bro needs to win a playoff series. It also helps that he is another All-start in KAT, 3 DPOLY in Gobert, potential 4th this year, and the best 6th man in the league Naz Reid. Even MJ needed help, nobody can do it alone.
I am convinced after that sweep, are you? Certainly he is undoubtedly the most talented player we have ever had!
07:20 correction.. it was precisely his basketball and physical ability COMBINED with his Basketball IQ and his hyper-competitiveness.
Jordan was way better on the hardwood than on the baseball diamond.
9:50 wow. Im blown away at how he handled Kerrs criticism. He took it seriously and used it to improve. Tremendous humility and shows a true desire to get better, which shows basketball is his greatest passion.
He never said that clickbait picture 😂😂😂
There is only 1 MJ. Pat Bev was born in 1988 so he is too young to really know the impact of MJ. Edwards is a good player but I don't see him as the next MJ. Perhaps he could be the next Kobe, if his game continues to improve.
Style wise n talent wise there is a reason y they r saying mj n not Kobe. Both mj n ant r far more athletic than Kobe ever was n both take advantage of it getting to the basket easier than he ever did. Kobe took a lot of jumpers for a reason
@@revyty3134 Gotcha. Yes, perhaps in terms of style there are some similarities.
He plays nothing like MJ. Have you ever seen MJ play?!
@@revyty3134maybe he took jumpers because the league had big men stay down low for rebounds. Today’s NBA has bigs shooting threes which leaves the paint open on a drive if the person is fast enough.
@@iamtheonlywilly yeah, still wasn’t nearly as fast n explosive but yeah I’m sure in todays good he would have a healthy uptake in drives to the rim. Lot more space ofc
Waiting for Ant to shave his head bald and go completely MJ mode😂
Just for clarification… MJ never said he plays like him! 😐
The Bulls were mediocre before they drafted Mike. Ijs great players can change the trajectory of a franchise
Bulls were mediocre for 3 years after they drafted MJ too.
I remember when everybody was comparing him to Dwade and I was telling ppl before the Hype he play like Mj
Nah bro it ain’t that he plays like mj it’s more so is like mj like made of the same stuff it’s crazy for me Kobe played like Mike and then added so much more to his game skill wise he became an enigma and an anomaly of his own nah watching him is like watching Mike of now on some reincarnation on the court
Nobody plays like MJ.
DWade literally had MJ comparisons
Competitive psycho is the best and most accurate description of MJ I’ve heard 👍
I always envisioned the next jordan being a guy who played with a furious determination to dominate, and we'd know it when we seen it, because he would stand so far above everyone else and leave us all in awe. This kids awesome, hes def got some shades of jordan, but idk yet. Lets see him dominate all opposition w a relentless will, then we can start talking
Anthony Edwards will be a superstar and in my opinion will win multiple championships but the next MJ let’s calm down a little to early
thats his daddy
Nahh that hook alley oop to Gobert was crazy
I thought so. After I've seen Edwards score in the paint smoothly like M.J. even he's smaller than M.J., he can hit shots when he want to. Very athletic.
Mj was all defensive team 1st team every year too
Even if he had close to the same talent, nobody has the same drive and passion for the game as Mike. Mike took things personally and it showed on the court. He never stopped. He never let up.
but so does Ant, he went at Tatum and he backed it up when he got the stop.
Lebron still the GOAT doe
@@hooperslnthese last two games on the back to back clips Portland proves it
@@___Anakin.Skywalkernope.
@@chrisreichert8659 stop lying
This video dissects the MJ/ANT comp so well, that it proves not only is it true and unfolding before our eyes, but even more exciting that Wolves could clinch #1 playoff seed while ant is still 22 years old. Look at the point leaders of current season and you will find most in top 20 in each conference are over the age of 27. Many over 30 years old. Anthony Edwards is that Dawg. May fortune and good health fuel his abilities and humbleness guide his path to greatness next to the GOAT.
I remember clearly as a kid wanting to watch Jordan's every game because I knew every game he played was something special and historic. I now feel the same way about watching ANT now, especially after watching ANT, Towns and the Wolves sweep KD and the Suns. ANT is going to be historic, he's developed that killer instinct, he wants to kill every game in front on him. He's not satisfied being one of the NBA greats, he's got a chip on his shoulder and wants Rings and championships. I want to watch every game of his because he has that killer instinct, he can shoot, pass and most importantly, elevate his game and those around him. His teammates want to play to his level, his expectations of them.
Jordan name next to another players “this is beyond disrespectful to Jordan”😂😂
Did u watch the video ant said what MJ told him
Ant is a resemblance to MJ
And his dog name is Antjr!
Michael Jordan came into the NBA in 1984. Michael Jordan won his first NBA Championship in 1991. Edward's still has room to improve.
The comparison of them is ok now. He is very good and his mindset is great. Give him time to be more of a leader. Jordan also needed time to get his teammates into the focus. The three things i miss are the smooth style, the defense and the easy jumpers to put his scoring on another level but Jordan also needed time for that.
8:10 dude nobody questioned if he was the right pick especially us wolves fan we were pissed he was robbed of a roty
Fax
Popularity contest. But yea other fans call him a bust for like a week
Ant is not MJ yet but Ant is a better deep shooter than MJ. 💯
Agree but Mj does better almost everything else thou
Dude can Ball! And he doesn't run from Competition or wants a Super team unlike Somebody else we know! LeFlop🤔
Ant-Man SGA Wemby The League is in some remarkable hands moving forward. Future is here
Luka Tatum
Anthony's game has some similarities to a young Jordan (athletic, aggressive to the rim, mid-range jump shooting) but that's where it ends. Yes, Anthony is bigger & stronger than Jordan was at his age, but young Jordan was more athletic, had a higher vertical (41.5 inch to MJ's 48 inch vertical) was a better scorer & possessed superior body & ball control in mid air. Again, there's some similarities but also some clear dissimilarities.
It’s not about how you start it’s how you finish Ant all day over ball
I love Ants, but he’s not clutch yet. Too much failing in clutch time (wrong choices, turnovers…). Hope he will become
The problem is people wont see him because ESPN shows the same 4 teams.
El único jugador que se le ha acercado al juego de Jordan es Kobe,incluso recibió y escuchó consejos del propio Jordan siendo amigo y entrenó de forma enfermiza para mejorar su juego. Lo he dicho en otros lados;solo un clon de Jordan lo puede igualar,mas no superar.
He’s on my fantasy team. He’s good but not an elite 2 way. Kawhi is still better complete player than Ant
He’s 22
By MJ 3rd year he was unquestioned as the best 1v1 player in the league. He put up 37a game...
MJ was older then ant his third year. You have to compare them by age not by season
@@TrestonDoddits okay, this guy is an idiot😂
He was older and the leaguebwasnt as saturated with elit scorers
He never gaurded the best player in the league
If he had a huge hands ad mj, It will be really hard for them to stop him, I can't wait for him to reach his prime and here we can witness how good a michael jordan is when he plays in this era
2-0 vs Denver round 2
Unless you're coming into the league averaging MVP Kobe numbers, I don't think it's possible to be like Mike. Also, Jordan was just gassing him on saying that he was more athletic. Buddy was just being nice. 😂
Mike is my goat and I love but you need to take it out: Jesus chri
He plays more like Wade.
Much better shooter than wade. Honestly maybe he’s Playoff Wade though, Ant is such a riser
Fax
Heck no
Hell nah lmfao
Naah bruh
I was just watching his highlights and I was just thinking this I’m not saying he the next mj but I do see similarities and I can see him being a great player cause bro is cooking with confidence
Ants “offensive foul” against Gabe Vincent, should have been the best dunk the leagues ever seen
Does this guy watch any basketball😂
Who
Cause if you’re talking to me, and then Edwards is the next big thing
This ridiculous notion that the players of today are more athletic than MJ is pure nonsense!! The man had a 48-50 inch vertical and reportedly ran a 4.3 40 yard dash. I don't understand? What is the definition of athleticism now a days?
Anthony Edwards is a good player and you can't compare him to Michael Jordan because they are two different people that played in different era's and who knows if the Timber wolves will ever win a championship and three peat like the Bulls back in the day. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Sound Cloud ad sound hiting hard background
Don't insult MJ like that. Ant is very good and getting better, but not yet, bruh. We'll see though.
still early on, but just saying he's showing flashes of MJ, even has that dog demeanor in him. Not to mention, they look alike, might be related 🤷🏽♂️😂
No disrespect to Anthony Edwards he's not anywhere close to Micheal Jordan he hasn't won any rings and isn't 6-0 in the NBA finals
Or lost in the first round 9 years in a row like Jordan either 🎉
Bro You older guys gotta stop man just admit it his only 22 look how good he is
@@MatthewMi000 he's good but he's not mj and even anywhere close
@@robertredmon6387 him rn is better then when Mj first came into the league
@@MatthewMi000 how do figure mj averaged almost 30 5 5 and lead the league in steals and stuff
The Reason why Ant (Adidas) was almost snubbed on the Olympic team was because USAB is ran by Nike and they didn't want the Star player to be from another competitor. Either way, the Talent speaks for itself and Ant more than deserved to be on that team.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
“He plays like me, i taught him everything he knows, he’s my son” - Micheal Jordan on Jimmy Butler and ANT
Naw Jordan he plays better than you. He's 23 beating 3 allstars on a starting team. Jordan never did that in his entire career
Nah, you wrong about that. Saying somebody is the next Micheal Jordan isn't said with a grain of salt. I don't care if he is your teammate or not, Mike is an icon so imagine what he is to a basketball player. Pat Beverly meant that ishh and he would know‼️💯
Well he just swept KD and the suns first round they off to a good start
tbh i see that said it the first time i watched Ant his way to play reminds me on MJ
Brother, that ad transition was too smoove fr
Thanks!
The guy is just different. He’s only 22; while i’m not gonna say he’s the next Jordan, we also have to remember that Jordan didn’t really start carving out his legacy and start winning chips until he was 28. Im gonna go out on a limb and say Ant Man will have at least 1 chip by age 28, barring major injuries and a competent front office.
I wish they would really stop with trying to find the next Michael Jordan
After they took the game from the nuggets i was like the Warriors need to throw the kitchen sink for that guy....Poole, Klay and Moody was a possible package
The fact that Kerr had to push him is proof enough he is not Michael Jordan - no one every had to push Mike. He was a psycho - unparalleled drive to compete and win. Ant is there talent wise, but nowhere near the drive needed to be Mike.
The humility in him. He is very well deserved.
Mike used to work Kobe out in the offseason Antman next 💪🏾
Here we go. Anthony Edwards is Ant Man. Let him live
I´m a dude from the future. They just defeated the Nuggets, I want Dallas to be there but holy cow, Antman is the MAN
He’s proving it in the playoffs now where you really make a name for yourself…..on the biggest stage of the nba!🤙🏾
Mad disrespectful to KAT & Gobert. Edwards has been great don’t get me wrong but the Towns & Rudy aren’t playing at an all star level “because of Ant”. The team in general is where they are because of GREAT defense by everyone lead by Gobert + an understanding of the pecking order offensively… the leadership of vets like Conley, Anderson… Ant is big time and the best player on the best in the west at just age 22… but the Wolves team in general is pretty damn good around him too.
Its totally crazy / akward to see an ad or actually mj saying anyone is even in the same sentence as him
