His footwork within the few years he's been in the league is insane work ethic and dedication. Smooth jumper, also efficient and clutch ... Def. Shades of MJ and Kobe
This kid sure has the MJ vibes. Explosive. Insane vertical. Similar jump shot and shooting style. The first time I saw him play, I thought "damn, MJ Jr right there"! He's going to be fun to watch.
As long as he got good basketball skills like the GOAT Kobe and Jordan I'm cool with that. Refreshing to watch. Us older guys missed watching this since Kobe retired. But he is Anthony Edward's!!
The outline of a generational player is coming into form now. He can get his own shot at all 3 levels of the court at a high level, can rebound, can create for others, is learning to break down defensive coverages and beat doubles with his playmaking, can punish in transition, can play elite on-ball defense, can serve as a weak side rim protector, can draw a ton of fouls, and is an absolutely killer closer on both ends of the floor. In a sweep, the Timberwolves played a team with KD, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, and he was unambiguously the best player on the court. He’s already putting all of that together as a 22 year old high-volume shooting guard, on the biggest stage of his career, on one of the best teams in basketball.
He's the F'king truth bro! Super special, I watched every one of his games this year. I never got tired of it and wanted to watch him play all the time.
Mj wasn’t called the black cat for nothing 40 yard dash was 4.29 and 48 inch vertical crazy large hands and so fundamentally sound no wasted movement and a killer mentality Mr Edward I’ll see you in 10 years
Negative. MJ would reshape the league back towards what it looked like in the 90s. He'd force everyone to play defense and protect the paint unless they want to give up 50/night. Also Edwards travels his ass off. It's the one gripe I have with him. Otherwise he's a killer. Love to see that toughness making a comeback.
If he keeps this up, MJ 2.0. yes, we would witness what it would look like if MJ played in this era! I hated MJ as a knicks diehard fan, but towards his last yrs, appreciated what he meant to the game. Hopefully edwards brings that back.
Insane block 6:18 .. And knows how to fall without injury.. WOW! I'm not tired of keep watching his highlight plays. So graceful and his jump fade away is so deadly! Definitely the next MJ on this era no doubt!
I wouldnt say the next Jordan but its giving Jordan vibes. He got the foot work down. he got the killer instinct in him we have been looking for in a long time.
I’m convinced that SG’s is the greatest and stacked position in basketball. Since Jordan, there’s at least top 20 players ever that played the Shooting Guard position
Hear me out... if AE as the main star and leader of his team, wins the Championship this year, at 21 years of age... that will be the most impressive start of any career since Magic when he was 21 years old and won his first title as a rookie in 1980.
His game is outstanding compared to anyone else in the league right now. I see the MJ comparison especially since he kinda resembles him in the face. But honestly Ant don’t have MJ’s finesse. Not like he isn’t a dominant player with a deep bag and a lockdown defender, the whole thing. But MJ’s finesse just different 🐐
@raiderwarrior2725 in mj's 4th season he got spanked by the pistons in 2nd rd .. antman average identical numbers in his 4th season as mj did.. watered down how?
The ease at which he does it all is Jordanesque. He is another gear higher than his opponents. His attitude is like a happier version of other superstars.
Man i took a break watching nba cause i felt them getting soft on playing with contact. But i love how they are letting them play a little rougher. Hell ya
@@rippedfiveayo8316 He really isn't. The ONLY thing that Lebron has over Jordan is longevity. That alone doesn't put him above Jordan. Jordan is better in every other major category like winning, accolades, peak, overall legacy, clutch, and many more.
@@rippedfiveayo8316you are all brainwashed by LeSPN. Leflop is nowhere near being a Goat. He’s all media hype who got carried by referees all his career . They let him get away with traveling, offensive fouls and FTs. A GOAT wins multiple championships with the same team. No jumping on championship team ,recruiting superstars then bailing when that team is about to sink. Lecry never climbed the mountain. He took the helicopter to reach the top.
the dunk that signaled a new era of the NBA. not even a top 10 dunk of his young career out of context. But that moment with 2:15 left on the clock in game 4 is gonna be looked back as the start of a new era. multiple all-stars past and present, future hall of famers all flat footed watching in happen.
This guy is legit. It's actually insane how watching someone like him you immediately can see how different he is. It 100% reminds you of MJ or Kobe. I am the biggest Lebron fan ever being from Ohio, and do think he is ONE OF the GOAT's, but MJ and Kobe are different and Anthony Edwards has that IT factor that you can immediately recognize.
He's a complete package man, He got shooting, high jumper, body strength, agility, dribbling, and the most important is confidence. That's the mentality that Micheal Jordan had in his era
A combination of kobe footwork and dwade speed.The crazy thing is,he is still young.The wolves have excellent lineup team,hope he dont go elsewhere and do what giannis did and make the wolves a household name.
We needed someone like Edwards, playing Goat basketball. But, where is the defense guarding him? Now I’m going to see a video of MJ best moments against defense. But Edwards is still young. Wishing him to see his game improvement to enjoy a great game.
I find it very interesting he's being compared to MJ and not LeBron when it comes to taking over the league... this reinforces the fact that MJ is the greatest and will always be the one who others are measured up to...
@@brandonlongdikjones8117 😂😂😂nba helped with suspending Draymond...it was a good run not the best...in a weak east as well... 15-1 record to win the chip was better...go check the opponent's records between yours and the 15-1 run.
He’s aight!!! 😉 Hopefully, he can bring back the 80’s and 90’s brand of NBA that was special to watch! The Curry era of basketball and 3 point shooting league has become, honestly, quite unwatchable! That play at 6:20 says it all about his passion to win! 5️⃣🐺
This boy cooked KD and his Kardashian team mate plus Bradley Beal. What else can you say about that. He literally swept them. That’s what I call a straight killer.
It's interesting to see how they promote the next big star as the "next Michael Jordan," especially now that LeBron is nearing retirement. They're clearly looking for a new face for the league. While the player in question is talented, claiming he's at Jordan's level might be an overreach.
His jumpshot looks identical to KD's. His pull-up game is like TMac. His crossover game resembles AI, B Davis, DWade. His layup and gather is sorta like MJ Vince Carter and a dash of Luka
I like him, but Mj was pure elegance, I really can not imagine somebody more elegant than Jordan, he had the looks, the hands, graceful, he had the control over his body like nobody else ( proprioceptive depth sensitivity), anticipation, the most complete athlete, doesn't matter how many times someone says LeBron is better, Russel has more championships, etc. It's not just how often you win, it's in which way you do it. Jordan had style, next was Kobe.
Hes really good. Everybody keep saying he plays like MJ. To me he plays more like prime grant hill. Hes going to be exciting in the coming years. Hopefully he stays healthy
FINALLY…someone that got me wanting to watch the NBA again!
Yes, tell me more.
For real
What of Giannis
Lukkaaa and edwards
How ya like the WCF? 🐜🧹😂
I started to watch the NBA again thanks to this Kid !🔥🔥. He is definitely Special..God Bless him.

Shit. Probably next he will da most popular player 😮

And, if they actually win this year…

I wit u bro. I never paid attention 2 da timberwolves but I’m paying attention now 😮
I love to watch basketball again
Like Mj ,beautiful to watch and athleticism.
Cut from the same cloth as MJ and Kobe. A killer 😅
Its the fluid movements
Just doesn’t have the layup package like two of the best to ever do it! LeBron third! Cough cough!

yep - you gotta know when to smell blood and this guy is as big as a shark even at this young age
Perfect example of what if MJ would play at this era of NBA, probably would go 50points every game.
10x scoring champ
Nah

Never be so impressed since the first D. Rose.. Glad to see this young star growin up ❤ good luck "ANT" 💪
Insane block 6:18 .. And knows how to fall without injury.. WOW!

Definitely the next MJ on this era no doubt!
I wouldnt say the next Jordan but its giving Jordan vibes. He got the foot work down. he got the killer instinct in him we have been looking for in a long time.
It’s been a couple of years since we seen a pure dominant SG in the league, fun too watch
I’m convinced that SG’s is the greatest and stacked position in basketball. Since Jordan, there’s at least top 20 players ever that played the Shooting Guard position
what makes Ant entertaining asf is his trash talk, competitiveness and the authority on the court, but most importantly, he delivers
Anthony Edwards is a phenomenal once in a generation athlete 👏👏👏👏
Edwards will be in every kids room by the end of these playoffs. And that’s a great thing for the NBA.

AYOOOOO
Young Mamba I See he’s legacy lives on All praise
The New Face of NBA
2:42 dude was in the back was like “omg oh omfg” 😂😂😂
Indeed… welcome back art&entertain era of NBA again.. people dan fans arround the Globe need this X factor!!!!
If he can master that fade away ..he will be unstoppable!!!even tho he already is !!🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
This dude is truly something...if the Wolves don't win the championship this year,I'm sure they will next year !
Dont worry they will this year
Hear me out... if AE as the main star and leader of his team, wins the Championship this year, at 21 years of age... that will be the most impressive start of any career since Magic when he was 21 years old and won his first title as a rookie in 1980.
Next MJ 💯
Crazy footwork
I see about 4, great NBA players combined in this guy!! I think MJ,KOBE, ALLEN IVERSON,TIM DUNCAN ,Mabey more! A monster created by the NBA!!
Agreed
He's the one.
He’s his own legend very exciting to watch

MJ was more graceful and those big hands helped, but Ant has that 3point shot going which you'd expect in the modern game where 3s are such a big deal
