@@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.

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.
