Looks like Jordan, flies like Jordan, jump shots like Jordan, swag like Jordan
And....not even close to Jordan. Just give it up
@@thazsarJordan is mid so stfu hes better than jordan
@@Bloodifed I don't understand why clueless casuals like you who know nothing about basketball even speak. What does Anthony Edwards do better than Jordan? He's not a better slasher. He's not a better midrange shooter. He's not a better free throw shooter. He's not a better post up player. He's not a better finisher at the rim. He isn't a better defender. Like, if you don't know anything about the game, stop talking.. immediately.
@@thazsarimagine being this much of a hater😂😂
@@libfit9068💯🎯
Kevin garnett actually was the first to see sightings of 89’ Jordan in ant! On his podcast!
KG said 84 MJ
He actually said 85 MJ
Garnett was right and would make an excellent owner
Actually he said 88 Mj.
i been calling him baby mj since he was 19
Playing style is similar to Jordan and he’s a good player. But let him grow into who he’ll become. 89 Jordan had already won ROY, 2 scoring titles, league MVP and DPOY
MJ was also 26 then, Ant is 22. And he's already being compared to Jordan. I think that speaks volumes on where he'll be in 5 years.
What's irritating for some of the Timberwolves fans like myself is that Edwards has had to share his scoring output with Towns...had this been Ant's team alone, he would have had 30 points per game last year!! He's fully capable of winning the scoring title!!
@@haydennyagah706 Jordan averaged 28 points a game as a 22 year old rookie. Ant is good and is going to get better. But he is not Jordan
He's a better team player than Jordan was, so he doesn't look to score every single night unlike Jordan
@@osayande6979 I get that, but saying he’s like Jordan is not saying he is the next Jordan. He has a similar playstyle to Jordan, it doesn’t mean he’s about to run off for 2 3 peats and 5 MVPs like Jordan did.
Best time to be alive as a Minnesotan.
Its his turnaround, his fade away the hang time and ability to switch hands while hanging on a layup.
MJ, then Kobe, now Ant.
Spot on when ANT 🐜 retires 3rd best SG of all time after MJ & Kobe
@@AnthonyEdwards775 MJ and Kobe aren't automatically immortalized at #1 and #2. Let's wait and see what Ant will do.
Ha mayyyybe
Y'all forgot about Prime Flash ??
@@AnthonyEdwards775He will have to surpass Wade Flash. Not done yet obviously.
Ngl at first i couldn’t see it but i see glimpses of jordan now, imagine how good he will be when he enters his prime. The league is in good hands 🔥
Only 22 is insane
Nah. /
That's my age
sga is almost 26. Idk why those two are compared sga should be compared with Tatum and Ant should be compared with Lamelo/Ja
@@ken58763because ant doesn’t need no age pity, he’s really like that
@@ken58763excuse me but lamelo cant be mentioned in the same breath. Ball is not even close to what Ant is and will become later in his career.
At this point, Ant is better than Book and Tatum. Ant, SGA, Wemby and Luka are the future face of NBA
Book and Tatum severely overrated.
Oh brother. Ant has yet to win a playoff series. Book and Tatum have both been on multiple deep playoff runs and been to the Finals.
I definitely agree with tht @Wakaweakweak7474 as long as they stay healthy 🙏🏾💯💪🏿
@@officialthomasjames Tatum one of the most hated superstars in the NBA everyone makes excuses about him like if Jordan ,kobe and lebron didn’t have a great team when they won their championship 😂 Shaq,pippen…wade is forgotten…by the way michael Jordan 1st ring was @28 yrs old so he’s on the right track guys 😂 @26
Ant is a dawg and im here for it. The league needa this series!!! Very underrated series
Perk was 5 years old in 89, and what did Jordan do specifically in 89 that would make Perk think Ant and MJ are similar?
I was 1 year old and i can remember 89 jordan run
@@CubaSmileSauceI wasn’t even a thought and I can tell you how good he was
I was just born and remember beating him in 1 on 1
I was negative 15 years old
Exactly. He's so dumb
Ant got me watching basketball again
Facts !!!!I haven’t been glued to the tv since Kobe
Watching the game I honestly said to myself that ant reminds me of late 80s Jordan.
Crazy
You did not.
He plays nothing like Jordan. He looks nothing like Jordan.
@@ErroneousMonk1 and we found the jordan fan lol. relax buddy. nobody saying he as good.
But he doesn't play like Jordan either. Jordan had a really good off-ball game where he did a lot of catch and shoots. Catch an attack. And he was a lot more acrobatic in the air. Maybe he kind of looks like him, but that's it@@thesportsfanatic2106
@@thesportsfanatic2106 Yes. Yes, lots of people are trying to say that. And I’m not a Jordan fan. I’m just tired of people saying this player that player is “as good as Jordan” after three playoff games. It’s annoying.
Ant reminds everybody of MJ
Prime MJ would dunk 3 times as much as Ant and 2-3 times as many steals and blocks. He was way more athletic I know that’s hard to believe but it’s true
Not if you actually watched mj.. which perk did not 😂
For no valid reason other than being able to jump and looks. Their games completely different. Jordan averaged 30 PPG FOR HIS CAREER
No
@@bkelly625jordan had no left and couldn’t shoot the 3.
He’s like that🔥
Anthony Edwards is a cold blooded killer. He doesn't care to go up against legends and take them down. He fearless i love it.
I bet my house Perk haven’t watched a single game from 89 seasons. Best case scenario he saw highlights compilation 😂
Anthony Edwards reminds me of Anthony Edwards he plays like no one and no one plays like him
I mean he kind of looks like MJ no lie tho lol
@@Ret_Chrogameshe definitely looks and plays like a modern day MJ bc even tho MJ was bigger and more athletic I think he would’ve played alittle more like Ant in this era basically meaning adding a little more of a handle and shoot the 3 more but every thing else kinda saying the same as 90s MJ
Looks nothing like Jordan. Give me a break
@@thazsar shut it oldhead
@@thazsaryou didn’t see UNC Jordan ?
Boston vs Min is waving
Minnesota would smoke them.
@@AuburnFanSince2010Come again?
Good series
The league in good hands. The future
I've always been a Durant fan and I still am, my problem with Durant is when he falls in his iso game while it's great sometimes, idk I feel like when the ball is moving a lot he gets better shots and he is a great catch and shoot player. Ant is hungry him and Luka my favorites from the newer gen. This will be a real good series
I don't think that was the problem this game. He went 11-17 or something. Teammates missed some easy ones, passed up some decent shots, and generally struggled.
This is who should be the face of the NBA. At 22, he has no weakness. He is far better than Bron at 22.
Look up what Lebron did when he was 22 and say ts again. Smh
@@straightoutdanawf13 Having watched both-and had my mind blown when Lebron dropped like 17 straight against the Pistons (and when he was garbage against Orlando a year later)-Ant seems more impressive and complete as a player. And a stronger leader with more confidence.
LeBron went to the finals at 22
Ant my fav player right now
This dude is like Jordan!
I would say he is more like Jaylen Brown.
Consistency is key, any player can have 1 good game; how about an entire series averaging 33/6/6!
You right, I can’t wait till he make you a fan of him. his last 4 playoff games , he’s averaging more than 30. He’s coming!
He averaged 33 a game last seasons playoff series against Denver
Hater. U just gonna see it
he is consistent that's the thing
He averaged 31 5 5 against the defending champs man
89 Jordan? Your crazy. Not even close
😂😂😂😂
He wasn't there. 89 Jordan was called Blk Jesus by Larry Bird. Jordan didn't even win a ring yet
Yeah. It’s a Billion light years behind.
@@jaykaynum5569yeah if anything ant is more like 84 Jordan. But obviously way less skilled
@@noahisuku5338 Jordan should've been MVP and rookie of the year in 84. Ant ain't MJ
Stop comparing bro to MJ. It was cute at first but naw.
Absolutely. He is more like Blake Griffen than MJ.
Bros my fav player straight dawg
Ant gonna get that supermax this offseason 5 year 260M !
He already got it
@@MinnesotaEverything he is eligible, after making an all nba team, which he will. It's not official yet.
@-370HSSV- correct, either way he gets paid 207M as part of the already signed contract extension , once he's named all NBA this season he will get the supermax (extra 50 Million).
For me he's magic TMac
Makes a lot more sense for his playstyle and attitude
As a Bulls fan, this feels great to see. After Mike and Kobe I was like ok, who's next? Well...he's here.
Believe that ! 😂😂
Bro remembered all those battles he had against MJ in 1989
Perk ain’t play against MJ at all
Exactly lol 😂
@@somarley7205he did buddy
he was talking about playing nba 2k22 on his ps5 back in 98
No he didnt . Perkins got drafted in 2003 - 04 season. He came after Jordan retired just like bron.
ANT more closely resembles Dwade than MJ. Its insane how DWades greatness is forgotten already
Never with me
Dwade couldn’t shoot like ant or MJ..
@@realamerican8069stop it it’s a good comparison, if anything it’s a stretch for ant. Dwade won a chip yr 2 he was a diff breed
@@lokey9780 I hate when you clowns talk chips like that has something to do with someone’s actual game! News flash casual! Normally the organization that spends the most money on talent usually wins.. ie Boston And Minnesota! The yr dwade won The heat had one of the highest salary cap. So miss me with he won in year 2 but couldn’t do it again until Lebron arrived!
@@lokey9780year 3 but ok
Kd loves Edwards. He's exactly the type of teammate kd wish he had
He remembered MJ in 89 while he was 4 or 5 years old, get tf out here.
He was likely watching him in the early 90’s. They were showing 89 MJ highlights non-stop
You think just maybe these guys who play in the league might actually watch old tape of the greats ding dong?
I never seen Jordan play, but when I see Kawhi’s midrange and jump-shots, it reminds me of the old Jordan clips I have watched. You think you said something smart, but you didn’t.
You can watch all the highlights and clips you want, it’s never the same as actually watching the games.
You thought you replied something smart, but you didn’t.
Exactly! Ant doesn't remember anything about Jordan except for his parents buying him Jordan's to wear
It's crazy to think that Ant is only 22. MJ in 1989 was 26 and already had an MVP and DPOY in his bag. Ant in 3-4 years is going to be better than what he is now.
MJ avg 28 PPG as 22 yo rookie. Ants good but he ain't The GOAT
Lmao look up KD season at 22
MJ came in at 21 years old scoring 28 a game so Ant Man actually behind
Why does Perk keep comparing Ant to 89 MJ?
@@-370HSSV- lmaooo
The Ant Mj comparisons is really based on athleticism. Ant's athleticism is really similar to young Mj, maybe even the hand size is similar tho not sure if Ant has big hands like Mj but Ant does seem to easily palm the ball.
Prime MJ would dunk literally 3 times as much and got 2-3 times as many steals and had more length, more speed and more hang-time. Ppl today want to believe Ant is that level of athlete but it’s only partially true
@@bkelly625 Precisely. Ant is more like Latrell Sprewell than MJ.
hope he has the consistency and killer instinct ot jordan who maintained such qualities throughout his playing creer. .
Dont you guys forget about lebrons 06-07 playoff run. He wqs same age as ant. Ant looking great but still got a long way to go.
Its not just about the talent ant got that DOG in him...lebron ain't never had thar
Having watched both-and had my mind blown when Lebron dropped like 17 straight against the Pistons (and when he was garbage against Orlando a year later)-Ant seems more impressive and complete as a player.
East was weak.
Stop it y’all, there will never be another Michael Jordan
Your right but he does remind me of him
That's for sure
Your statement is There will never be another Michael Jordan
The fact is There already is another Michael Jordan
His name is Anthony Edwards
And if he brings this team a championship. Their very first EVER.
I WANT YOU TO REPENT
MICHAEL 2.0 IS HERE BROTHA
Counting out every basketball player in the future to be born is crazy
Jordan himself said it
Guys it s not only about the style but also the fking smile....you know he is coming!He has that fking attitude!
What an original take, first time I've heard that comparison 😮
First it was jimmy butler now I don't hear that comparison no more
⭐️I’ve been saying this. ANT PLAYS LIKE MJ⭐️
Nah, Michael Finley.
He has the arm band and mannerisms
He wants to be the best because he’s working hard on his game and it shows, not to mention his confidence is catching up to his ability.
Absolutely
Edwards is the next face of the NBA. He’s like MJ
No he's not. Not even close. He can't score 30 per on 50%
@@jermo1213 he 100% can... hes done that in the playoffs the past two years and gonna do it this year
Luka died?!
@@LukaIsNonFlyingLBJ Wemby died ?? smh. you guys are arguing about two guys who will be the next Kevin Durants etc Great players.
but the face of the league ? that is special amongst special territory...
that's Wemby
@@grichkatayou7558 nope Wembys time will come but the next 5 years its Lukas solo
It’s not like MJ It’s The MINDSET OF A CHAMPION THAT PLAYS WITH THE STRENGTH OF HIS HEART AND DETERMINATION!!
If You Believe You Will Achieve
can somebody please explain too me this obsession people have in sports to continuously compare the greatness of past and present players in the NBA. Its pretty fascinating people cant help themselves from doing that !!!!!
All KD CAN DO IS LAUGH, US FANS LIVE TO SEE THIS TYPE OF PLAYOFFS Basketball!😂
Ant-Man reminds me of AND1 Mixtape legend… Waliyy “Main Event” Dixon 🏀
🧢ant is way better
@@jnc8732 … of course, obviously that goes without saying 😂… I’m talking about style of play
Bro told beal 🤏🏿🤣🤣🤣
They got into a scuffle last match of the season 🐜 and Beal and ANT don’t forget he took that personal. That’s why you don’t ever poke a grizzly
That ESPN reporter saying the Timberwolves never had a player like Ant must've forgot a legend called The Kid aka KG aka The Franchise who played for the Timberwolves.
From harold minor to grant hill to Kob to Vince to kawhi to ant... Jordan is the template to greatness for guards/sfs
Ant the only one out of all those to do it his way and not emulate Jordan in anyway.. I love this man's energy, game. Personality and mind frame.
He's one of the ones.. we get to see him and wemby grow at the same time... This generation has their own legends in the making
As a Bulls fan, it’s about time to see this phenomenon on a different team.
He is jordan!!! The young man is a shooting guard who never has a bad game!!! 🐐🐐🐐
He ain’t Jordan stop capping dude.
He averaged 25 in the regular season in an era where scoring has never been easier. He's not '89 MJ by any stretch of the imagination.
Facts
He’s also playing for a balanced winning team. Jordan didn’t have a team like that until the 90’s, so he had to carry it like that.
I've called him jordan esq since he came into the league
I certainly look foward to Antman vs The Alien in the playoffs some time soon
Ant is more like a not nearly as good version of the ‘85 MJ. He still is nowhere near Jordan in terms of both efficiency and consistently. And his defense is good but Jordan’s defense was all time. Not a Jordan fan, but Perk’s gotta stop with this.
Lmao 85 MJ was battling coke heads n plumbers
@@HandsomeHustler Facts
@user-ey4gq1uz9r wade jumper was never this good.
@@HandsomeHustler85 MJ is still better than current day Ant lol
Perk got nothing to talk about to look interesting. Hence, this MJ comparison
Please stop with the MJ comparison. MJ brought only gold to USA but Ant Man failed to bring even a bronze to USA.
Be real
Bros only 22
And is DWade at best
it was fiba..
@@sqweeps.03MJ was 21 when he won his first gold.
MVP
Look at Beal face when ant throw up the 3. Beal looked at him like u got it sir 😂
Let’s slow down these wild proclamations and hyperbole speech. He played well against a very mediocre and poorly coached Suns team that had to scratch and claw just to make the playoffs. Let’s see him do this against Denver.
He averaged 30 PPG against the nuggets in the playoffs last year
So what are you gonna say when he does this against Denver and Minnesota beats em ?
@@mack9933 I will give him his flowers but he won’t. Denver a different beast than the Suns. Suns aren’t real contenders. They have a ton of holes.
Did they win? 😅@@Geiuscs
he has been doing it all season not just this 1 game with the suns. Scoring AND Defense which is what MJ does, even almost similar playing style so I can definitely see why there's already a comparison and that's good for the league and as a fan this is refreshing to witness
ESPN hyping up Anthony Edwards so much because they NEED for him to be better than the European players taking over the league: Luka, Jokic, Giannis
Nice try enjoy hopping over the mental obstacles now
Nice try bud
Nothing European about Giannis.
@eodyn7 all though his parents are from Africa. He is technically European cuz he was born & raised in Greece
@@eodyn7he obviously murican... like Embid
This wild af😂😂
Ants footwork is easily hands down the most resemblance to Kobe snd Jordan
Nah 2019 Kawhi is closest we’ve seen
I see Kobe more then jordan but I see a lot of both in Ant but because of the 3pt shot Kobe more but it’s a beautiful thing to watch cause Kobe n mj are my favorite and I was searching for next up and Ant is next up
Him and CJ stroud are the best players in sports
Bruh yall taking it to literal ive never really watched AE play but i definitely seen the play package he carries and it definitely resembles michaels package like its a clear mimicking of michaels moves like kobe. He isnt those guys but his play style is like theres 100% havent seen anything like him in a while .
Ant Man energy is on another level. And he strong too.
Not the 21 piece all flats 😂
🤣🤣🤣
BELIEVE DATTTT
Bro i said this exact same thing last year and everybody called me crazy
I said this like a year and a half ago and people said I needed to be on meds. Now it is a common thought.
Denver gives off that NBA spirit the game used to have.
Perks take on Embiid ist spot on. Dude’s been on this for weeks. 76ers can risk the big getting hurt in a way it jeopardizes next season.
J'ai connu l'époque Jordan c'était mon icône lorsque j'étais adolescent et n'en déplaise à tous ceux qui aiment vivre dans le passé mais je prends encore plus de plaisir à voir jouer Antthony Edwards je le trouve meilleur surtout à aujourd'hui où il y a tellement de bons joueurs en face
General manager Perk!
MJ started the comps himself
Ya gassing the hell out this comparison in spite of Ant &, ofc, Bron.. tryna undermine how great he really was lol
Just like 20 yrs ago..the west is stacked to the brim with teams that can make the finals.. looks just like 20 yrs ago with all them 50plus teams
Jordan was 85% more fundamentally sound. But Ant is younger but I still feel like the college coaching matters over the long run to me it’s the difference.
He deserves these chants he a great Basketball player Anthony Edwards.
We officially found the next Jordan
I need Ja to come back. I think the rivalry between Ja and Ant would be something crazy. Both High Flyers and make amazing plays. I think Ant will have the better team for sum years so the Grizz will be painted as the villains because of all their antics.
After comparing him to '89 Jordan for a few mins, Perkins says, "we have never seen a player like Ant in terms of playing both ends of the floor and leadership before." Uh, what? Michael Jordan
I said this when he was in college
Ant is like a young Mike
Young 89 MJ was tough bruh
That MVP chant just did it for him . Welcome to ant man era . We bouta witness him takeover
A young Anthony Edwards did to Kevin Durant what a young Kobe did to Mike when their idol was past their prime.
Everyone saying he looks like jordan... Come on man, his game is so different. Even Kobe's game wasn't close to Mikes, he just used the same moves but moved nothing like him. Mike had a completely unique pace, and Mike put his head down lower to the ground on drives than anyone I have ever seen play. Literally Mike used his fake (NOT HIS SHOULDERS) to seperate himself from people. You need athleticism and balance to do that, and no one had a perfect blend of those two like MJ did. Kobe came close. MJ had one notably impossible move that none could copy, and it made him move different - it was MJ's jump shot. Not his fadeaway, JUST his jump shot. Mike elevated highest on his jump shot, and he tossed the ball into the hoop with two fingers off his giant hands like how kids throw paper into a trash bin.
Ants game is sort of a hybrid between Kobe's and Kd's. Nothing like Jordans. Even the way he dunks, nothing like MJ. Sorry, tired of it.. Ant uses footwork and dribble moves to get around or passed his opponents. Mike defended his space with fakes and pace. Very very different.
Dat boy good
Nah this dude is something else. Let’s not compare players a quarter century apart. Let’s learn from the LeBron assumptions.
No one is like Mike
I know there’s a lot of Ant fans here. I like the way he plays too. But why does SGA not get these Kobe and MJ comparisons? Cause he doesn’t dunk as much? He’s the one with the MJ numbers and is an assassin in the midrange.
Just curious, who would y’all (comment section of course) compare SGA too?
I get it but its not even close yet. Speed, ball handling, dunking...yes.....but jordan was levels ahead in every aspect of shooting and footwork. And passing.
Wish we could hear Kobe opinion on Antman 🙏🏾
Anyone see how blue Perks makeup was on this shoot lol? They need to figure something out backstage.
