- I am joined by Michael Wilbon and Kendrick Perkins on NBA Today to talk through my recent interview with Anthony Edwards, where he addressed the Michael Jordan comparisons.

I’m 57 and AE reminds me of MJ too. So I agree
“He reminds Michael Jordan of Michael Jordan” …well MJ said it too so can’t argue with it, Wilbon would know.
@@KaonashiJPdid MJ see some of him in Westbrook also LOL
@@str8duval They asked who plays like him in today’s game like 8 yrs ago and his answer was prime Westbrook- which makes sense at the time. Bar for Bar, AntMan looks like a clone of MJ.

MJ is MJ and Ant is Ant, but I grew up in Chicago in the 90s watching Jordan...and he reminds me of Jordan too.
Doesn't mean I think he's as good as Jordan or ever will be, but he definitely reminds me of him with his play style, athleticism and competitive drive / killer instinct
his shooting form is exactly like Jordan
Me too 73rd stony I’m 43 he look like Mike to me
Facts

Really? Imo, in terms of looks theyre very different but in terms of being raw and unpolished shooting forms thats where i see the similarity.
Ant rn and young Mj imo both use their insane athleticism in their shooting forms. It doesnt look as smooth rn, compared to mike's shooting form in the 90s. I believe Ant will soon get this polished 💯
I agree
Ant is definitely MJ 2.0 , lets go Wolves 🐺
MJ .75 more like
Yall missing the point. Comparison is from the fire within 🔥 "that dog in him"
Even MJ admitted to it on several occasions lol
No he didn't. He just merely said "That brother is special." That's all
He just said he reminds me of myself and he is special that’s it
@@tbjb009 that was not the first time mj spoke on ant that's the most recent of multiple times
@@KadeForeverno MJ told Ant "your bigger than me, stronger. Use your butt to create space more and your be unstoppable " 2020 draft workouts
They will praise him up until he starts having some real success then they'll be telling us how much he's not MJ
That doesn’t make sense I think you mean the other way around 😅
I grew up in the MJ era. Watching AE gives me the same feeling as watching MJ (must see tv). Other than Kobe, I’ve never had the urge to watch the greatness they displayed. AE is HIM!
Something tells me you’re a Lebron fan
Its not about basketball... its about competitiveness. Ant said "I want to kill everything in front of me" and that's exactly like MJ's mentality. And Minnesota, just like the bulls back in the day, has very good role players. I really hope Minnesota wins it all this year.
AE is cut from a different cloth than these new gen players. He’s cut from Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe his passion to win is beyond everybody
I’m 45 and grew up watching MJ. Ant is definitely a young MJ! I don’t think to highly of a lot of today’s players. But Ant’s got it!
Adam Sandler saw it first😊❤
No I saw it 1st
Sand Man saw the vision before anyone else tbh
I am struggling to love Ant-man because he was such a dick in the movie!…. But he sure is fun to watch!
Draft night I was begging for Lamelo to go first so MJ could reunite with his long lost son
I fell in love with the NBA because of Kobe. I have not cared about the NBA since Kobe retired. AE has refueled my love of the game.
The kid is great , comparison is still premature.
Meanwhile lets enjoy It.
MJ, later Kobe, and now Ant. These 3 killers, probably today Ant wants Jokic's head like a trophy.
You're forgetting Butler
Mj, Kobe, Butler and then Ant.
@@alexdrakeus1772 yes is true. Jimmy is another assassin.
What I don’t understand are the people denying it. Nobody’s calling him the NEXT Jordan. People are simply saying that he REMINDS them of him…and I agree. His style of play. His mis range game. His defense. His athleticism. His competitiveness. Not 2 mention he LOOKS like him. Skin complexion and all. It’s pretty obvious if people are just keeping it real.
If Lamelo went first in the draft, MJ and Ant would finally gotten that father son time they missed
The media tryna push this Edwards and Jordan comparison so hard. Edwards better than Jordan at 22.
Let the man win some championships first jeez
Well they need to build him up to try and avoid the big ratings slump thats about to hit them.
If anyone knows what they are talking about this subject, it is Wilbon. He did know Jordan very well. I believe he is correct in everything he is saying about Edwards in comparison to Jordan.
Facts
He's a pure soul... Lets see if he can hold on to that in Hollyweird and this ever growing devl worshipp society.
Almost 30 years later and we still want Jordan 2.0…
when Ant told Kat to stop effing fouling that went viral..just before he explaned the fouls needed to slow down cause he thought Karl was their bigges weapon on offense..he meant that too.
Sounds like everything you heard these same analysts saying about Devin Booker three years ago.
This comparison stuff is sickening,, soon as he fall short they’re going to hold him to this standard to diminish him ! Ant is his own person
Lol... yeah, but one thing to remember... when MJ came on the scene, we never compared him to anyone. We knew immediately he was the best player we'd ever seen. The same with Magic, we never compared him to anyone either, we knew immediately there had never been another point guard like him. Simply by making the comparison, the esteemed Mr. Wilbon has conceded he's not a greater player than MJ., cause when a player is truly the Goat, everyone will automatically know it, like we did with MJ and Magic. The young man has tremendous athletic talent, but how different will this conversation be if he never wins a championship ?
I just hope Ant Man stays healthy throughout the course of his career
SAS said to Lamar Jackson “”if you want to a champion then you got take it from P Mahones and the Chief we know the rest!! Ant Man wants it bad enough to take it from the champs because he is ruthless!!! On the court which can’t help but remind of MJ!!
AE is more like jordan without trying than Kobe Bryant who thought he was jordan
He reminds me of Anthony Edwards
It’s funny how the media kinda admits Lebron isn’t close in these moments. It was all BS the whole time. We all knew it.
He didn’t look like mj or Kobe today , not aggressive enough when his team needed him to take over tonight to have a chance , and he didn’t
I also remind myself of Michael Jordan when I hoop.
MJ & Ant are ART turned to life!..Lebron's just a really good basketball player 🤷🏾♂️
I agree with that, cause that's how I viewed Jordan back in the days. He is very graceful, spectacular, artistic with the moves and very entertaining to a great satisfaction, even if they loose, I just loved to see Jordan moved, especially with those hang time layups. Always was looking forward to seeing those. In other words, Jordan was flashy and stylish when he played. The other guys them, like Lebron them is good too, but they don't have that flashy and stylish play, that looks like real art in motion. Jordan was a whole new higher level.
Wrong wrong wrong you don’t break an unbreakable record by just being “”” good “” you to be consistently great at all times!! So what you said is personal jealousy and envious of one Mr.. LeBron James who has rented so serious real estate in your head!
I don't wanna compare but how can you not if both their moves and tendencies are very similar. lol
Sorry he doesnt remind me of kobe at all. The thing about kobe in his younger days in the 90s, he used to copy everything bout mike including how he talked to the media. Even the small habits of facial reactions lol
To be fair we'll never know if he was doing that mimicking voluntarily and consciously or if he was just naturally like that as well lol
Ant's swagger is more natural imo. It doesnt copy anything bout Mike's confidence and demeanor back in the day but there is a similarity as to the youthful exuberance and confidence.
I understand them hyping up Ant...but it's at a disservice to the other members of the team. In game 2, McDaniels and NAW (and even Reid) imposed their "ruthlessness" on the defensive side of the ball and KAT was throwing daggers all night (10-15; 3-5 from 3; 27 points)....the entire team is contributing.
So did MJ teams. What’s your point?
@markushayes they kind of capping a little bit. Game 2 was a team win not what would really be considered a Anthony Edwards/MJ game.
Everyone on this Wolves team would say it’s Ant’s team. By being as good as he is, he is able to inspire a different level of confidence like MJ did. I just saw an interview with Jaden McDaniels where he said that is the case.
Ant-Man is M.J 02, that means Jordan the second.
He is Anthony Edwards. Period the end.
No he's MJ son lol
@@dre7147 And he wants to be known as Anthony Edwards and that should be respected
Maybe Penny or Tracy McGrady but never Mj23 or KB8/24
Wow ppl slow ass hell. Comparing him to Jordan on the competitive side , nothing else.
He is MJ-esque. Even if he doesn’t like it.
Its our job to call him the next MJ, its his job to show us hes the first Anthony Edwards. Do the work and separate yourself, alot of guys have come and gone that we called the next MJ, it doesnt mean much unless you pan out. The only one that did was Kobe.
I will have to disagree. At this point the media is basically trying to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA and that's how they going to do it by comparing him to Michael jordan.
He is a better three point shooter than MJ and Kobe ever was. It was tougher to score back than it is now and you don't get as many plays for three but still better.
That may be true to an extent, but not all that relevant considering three point shooting wasn't that big of factor in Jordan's era. It wasn't considered a significant part of the game, it was mostly seen as a gimmick. If he was playing today, he would practice the shot more, it would be a bigger staple in his game, and he would most certainly shoot a higher percentage.
@@purplemonkeydishwasher4241 Those all assumptions.We have to go by what we saw then and how it would translate today. Its like assuming a lot of the players would develop skills to play 90s basketball. Shai and Demar Derozan don't shoot a lot of threes and honestly. MJ was never that great of a pure shooter either. If he played in today's game he might take 3-5 attempts three pointers but still won't be to the level Anthony edwards is. Players like Reggis Miller or Larry bird now would translate really well to today's game. They would be averaging like 7-10 three point shooting attempts a game and probably be shooting around 38%+.
Ant-Man reminds me of Westbrook & Ben Simmons except he can score and shoot.
Apparently you are on drugs. Westbrook and Simmons? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
This cracked me up 🤣
Yall ninjas just don't listen, do you? 🤦🏿♂️
Everyone reminds everyone of someone but he's not MJ.
Marketing some badly needed new American basketball idol
Go be great Ant Man
Anthony is not mj perid
Nugs in 6
Its interesting how the media LeBron haters like Michael Wilburn refuse to mention LeBron in their comparisons, only naming MJ and Kobe.
Hes more like Jay williams the Chicago bulls/Duke guy hahahaha
U thought the blacks were taking over again.
Not so fast, Murray/Jokic/Luka conf finals
ahahaha... unlike lebron who proclaims himself as the goat 😂
Here we go again. The media seems to be over lebron now they want ant to be the next GOAT roflmao! This shows why MJ is the GOAT. Decades of retirement but still being compared every generation.
