Intrigued by MJ's thoughts on ANT? Don't miss what Bird said about Jokic in our latest video: czcams.com/video/KVSrMTgV598/video.html
Only young people who weren't there to witness Jordan game to game in the 80s thru 90s say someone is better than Jordan. No one is better than Jordan period end of line.
That would be SO interesting to see Jordan in today's game. How many points will he average? Imagine him on a small ball, 5-out team in today's game. I think he could average a 40pt triple double, or at least close to Luka's numbers this year!
@Sportivations Absolutely, and with the way the game is called now, he would avg 20-25 free-throws a game. He would be even more unstoppable in today's game, and they couldn't even stop him back then.
Speak on it! They don’t know!
I really wish ppl stop saying the next MJ. No one will be the next MJ.
It’s generational talent. That’s the point …
Exactly, it's all about recognizing the unique talents each generation brings to the game. While there will never be another MJ, it's thrilling to see new players make their mark.
I have to tell Jordan that there will never be another Jordan
True, like there will never be another Kobe or another Lebron!
Jordan played against weak defense
Michael Jordan is one of a Lifetime no one ever plays basketball like him
Michael Jordan really was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, wasn’t he? What’s your favorite memory of MJ that exemplifies why he’s so special?
You never saw him play . Your only source for Jordan is CZcams videos and the people that gush about him .Edwards is way ahead where MJ was at 22 yrs old . You jock sniffers are clueless
So Ant has reached his ceiling at 22 yrs old? Who knew? I would take a 22 yr old Anthony Edwards over a 22 yr old MJ
Stop trying to put words in Jordan’s mouth to fit your narrative
Sick , heck no!
MJ did speak highly of Edwards before the draft though: twitter.com/TaylorRooks/status/1329154301135089677
sheessh jordan actually said that 😬
@Sportivations yes he did but you tweaked his words
He paraphrased what he said, but it’s basically the same thing.
Anthony Edwards is the bomb.
Kobe really is the only person who can be talked about in conversations of mj comparison..
Ever see Jordan play in person? I have and Edwards at 22 is more polished than the 22 yr old Jordan . You idiots are clueless . MJ was Larry Birds bitch for acouple years before MJ became MJ . EDWARDS IS NOBODY'S BITCH ALat 22
Really ? So Edwards and his 3 yrs in the league is being judged against the whole career of Kobe and MJ ??????
THE ANT 🐜 MAN💪🏾💪🏾interesting talent on the court.
One of the most exciting players to watch, right?!
No, MJ did not say Ant is better than him. MJ said there are some similarities between him and Ant. Another clickbait title sheesh.
Thank you for the callout! Our goal is to capture attention initially, but our primary focus is on delivering quality content once you engage. We hope you found the video enjoyable beyond the clickbait!
He's more of d wade not Jordan
That's a compelling comparison! Dwyane Wade's style and impact are definitely something special. What aspects of his game do you see reflected in Ant?
He leaps higher than D Wade, why people act like Jordan can’t be compared to nobody
D Wade did not have a three point shot like AE but shit D Wade got three of them things so I’d take bro too🤷🏾♂️
WRONG
@@Sportivationshe has MJ mentality and aggressiveness
Kerr was hating on Ant cause he reminded him of MJ 😂
He definitely should've drafted him nonetheless😂
dear Anthony Edwards..please learn to land on two feet like jordan..lebron.Kolbe..one leg landers hill ..carter..tmac ..rose..
Let's hope he stays healthy throughout his career!
I'm from Chicago and had season tickets in the 1990's,this kid Edwards is as good as M.J. I love watching Edwards.
That's high praise coming from someone who witnessed MJ's greatness firsthand! Glad you're enjoying watching Edwards play. It's always exciting to see new talents capturing the spirit of the legends.
If you ain’t got heart, none of it matters. Michael had lots of it filled with passion
Absolutely, heart and passion really define a player's greatness! MJ was a perfect example of that!
I can say this young man is making me back to enjoy the game when I was watching MJ (no one can be him but, he decided to be like him or following a leader like Koby did). Take time... but I am already enjoying this!.
Do you know he already has more 1st All NBA team selections than Curry? That's such an insane stat, given that it's just his 6th season in the league...
@@Sportivations Today is very important for him to focus and believe that he can do it. No matter the outcome of this series. He is seeing his path growing.
What is this? A player that cares about winning the game, plays defense, and doesnt choke and flop? Outrageous!
Right? It’s refreshing to see players who are all about the game and give their all on both ends of the court. Brings back the true spirit of competition!
Win the ring first. then we'll talk. As of now, youre still a McGrady, a Carter, A Rose. A Hardaway. A Hill..
u know that the list goes on...
Totally get where you're coming from! Winning a ring is a huge milestone. It's also exciting to watch players like Edwards develop and see if they can reach that pinnacle. The journey's as thrilling as the outcome!
This dude is the next GOAT you can see it a mile away
What's truly insane is his age, how far do you think he will he go by the end of his career?!
Why he already wearing a knee brace? That worries me but he should the next one but they gon put a dress on him make him start painting his nails to get there.
@@nas8326 stuttn like his daddy
@@Sportivations that’s a good question but he’s hitting his stride at about the same time Mike did . And it’s not about a pay check his game is old school killer instinct hope they win it all this year .
@@nas8326 they just need to give these other teams more TV time lots of these teams or players no one hears about till the playoffs
People don't say "the next Lebron"😅
Umm.. they did though..
Because he is the clown🤣🤣🤣🤡
Well Antman plays nothing like LeBron. Plays more like MJ
😂 Keep the debates coming, folks. NBA discussions are never dull! 🏀
Why should they? LeBron does not have a particular style at all. Everybody knows that Jordan is the goat
I've watched MJ from college and every Chicago Bulls game played. Ant is on the right path towards greatness, and dominating the NBA.
That's great to hear from someone who's seen MJ's entire career! It's exciting to think about what the future holds for Ant. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
He’s not more athletic or bigger…Mike was 6’ 6” cat quick with a 48” vertical leap and unbelievable basketball IQ…please stop with this nonsense
Yeah. Enough with the BS hyperbole. Not bigger, not more athletic, it's an insane comparison to begin with especially considering that MJ by his 4th season (like Ant currently) was widely considered the best basketball player on the planet.
That's what MJ said before the draft: twitter.com/TaylorRooks/status/1329154301135089677?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1329154301135089677%7Ctwgr%5E92b260d1968f361506541f467af1e28533fd1132%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbolavip.com%2Fen%2Fnba%2Fmichael-jordan-thinks-anthony-edwards-could-be-better-than-him-20210317-0003.html
They're definitely in the same range in terms of athletic abilities though.
i havent seen team defense like this, since the 96 Bulls
That lockdown defense is amazing right?! What a clinic
He's got lots of hard work.Only time will tell
He has all the tools to be an all-time great, but yes, only time will tell!
Anybody who grew up watching MJ play knows better. Edwards is good though, but come on man what are we talking about here.
It is fun to compare though and along the way acknowledge and remember the Legacy of Jordan! Cause really man there will only be one Mike!
You think a 22 yr old Michael Jordan is better that a 22 yr old Anthony Edwards . If so you are high as fuck . JORDAN did not dominate the league at 22 like Edwards is doing. With stiffer competition.
You are comparing Jordan's whole career with a 22 yr old kid ya know , Edwards career has not unfolded yet . Edwards at 22 is far more polished than a 22 yr old MJ and I am old enough that I have seen Lew Alcindor play with Oscar Robertson play together before he was Kareem
A E. 6ft 4inch 225 lbs vs MJ 6ft 6inch 216 lbs. This before MJ bulked up.
Interesting stats. Thanks for sharing and getting involved!
Mj was 195 before bulking up
Both players are unique and very good players 🙏.
That's a very true statement! Thanks for commenting! 🙏
Jordan is beautiful to watch. There’s an art. Edward is like Lebron.
To be fair, I feel like Edwards has more finesse than LBJ - he's not 6'9" 250 pounds so can't rely on his physique as much - and has a better jumpshot (though LeBron shot like 40% from 3 this year, kind of insane)
But I see what you mean, MJ's movements were like watching poetry in motion, right?!
Cam Johnson starting over him is insane
Right? Makes for a great story and debate though!
A glimpse of how jordan would look like on modern nba.
That's an interesting perspective! Imagining how legends like Jordan would adapt to today's game is always a fun thought exercise. Edwards definitely brings some of that old-school flair mixed with modern skills.
In my opinion Michael Jordan is the GOD of basketball....Create the biggest statue of the GOAT and end this conversation....he is the greatest ever PERIOD!
God in Wizards 0🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, though most people would agree with you.
Get his ball park out your mouth and respect the era.
Like father like son
Like Mike!
nice video lets go ant !!! more please
Thank you for the support and feedback. You Ask! We Listen!! Another similar video coming same time next week. Stay tuned!!
MJ the G.O.A.T.!
For most people, he definitely is!
Anybody who is saying that Anthony Edwards isn't like Mike, didn't grow up watching Mike! Of course his achievments aren't there yet but the way he plays and talent is! Killer instinct, nobody stopping him one on one, can shoot the three, defend, dunk on anybody, mid range game, fake outs with great foot work, work ethic and not intimidated by other greats! Let him win a ring and watch the same people back track their statement! For the record I'm Bulls fan and a big Jordan fan! Been one since 85! So I don't want to hear no hoop-la! To seal the deal, even Mike said and several other professional Basketball players feel the same. I actually feel his closer to MJ than Kobe was by how he looks when he plays! Ant got the same explosive game Jordan did!
I agree, their game are very similar though Edwards is a much better 3pt shooter (though I guess that MJ would've had developed a better 3pt shot and shot more 3s if he played in our era)
Kobe and MJ's game are actually pretty similar too (since Kobe modeled his game after Jordan) but I get your point, Kobe did not have the huge hands or broad shoulders and was never THE athletic freak like the two of them.
Edwards definitely has a chance to be an all-time great!
I would take a 22 yr old Anthony Edwards over a 22 MJ . No way Jordan was as polished as Edwards at 22
@@TimAllen-fs2rg nahhh..a,a, polished as polished as it can be, you are just confused with the shorts. thats why mj introduced the shorts they are wearing today.
@@ramsub3179 were you even alive when MJ was 22? Anyway Ant wins a championship this year all will have to hold his beer
@@TimAllen-fs2rg i was born 1975, literally grew up with mj, i would watch his every move, i would copy his style,,i was jordanesque for my peers. then he retired then came kobe,,i would never watch NBA again if not because of kobe. grant hill and iverson was also fun to watch. then of course came lebron and wade they kept me going. and then steph came out as one of the best players ive ever seen.,zion williamson is also fun to watch but like the ANT he needs something to prove.
RUMBLE! YOUNG MAN RUMBLE!!!!!!
Love the energy!
Go Edwards be a leader. Take all that criticism and make it positive for when you on the court. Don't let nothing knock you down. God got you..............
It's crazy how he's such an exceptional leader at such a young age!
I bet Edwards never got cut from his high school varsity team 😂
This is an accurate statement, I got to give you that! HAHA
Jordan's PER was 8 points higher at the same age while working his way back from a broken foot.
That is a very interesting stat! Thanks for sharing and getting involved in the conversation!
Harder defense to score against and harder offense to stop now. Jordan was the best of his era by far but look at the era and that’ll lose its value. Sorry
I cannot imagine Jordan saying someone is better than him at anything let alone basketball.
Jordan sees himself in Edwards though; he said it himself!
@@Sportivations that still doesn’t come close to saying that he’s better than him. There are some similarities though.
Is Edwards bringing back the DUNK as a moment changer!? The explosiveness put people in awww
He sure has already! Remember the dunk on Collins 🫣That was insane
You lost me the minute you mentioned Leflop in the GOAT conversation.
Whether you like him or not, he needs to be mentioned in that conversation...
The only reason Edwards is even mentioned with Jordan is because people think they look alike. Let him be who he is because who he is, is pretty good.
Very well said!! 💙❤️
Hilarious. Have you seen his shot with the fadeaway???( the drive to the lane in massive dunks? He looks just like Jordan . And unlike you I'm old enough to actually See Jordan play in person . Edwards is as good as they come in the NBA today
So far Anthony Edwards is my most best basketball player today. I want his jersey
That's nice! You should get the one in the thumbnail, I think it looks great!
They are building this kid up just to tear him down late remember these words
It's a tough aspect of sports, how quickly public sentiment can shift. Hopefully, Anthony continues to develop and prove his resilience, no matter the pressures.
He's bigger and stronger than mike, but he doesn't have the same quickness. Michael was different when it came to speed.
Jordan didn't have the weight Anthony has that's why he was quicker...Edwards is a lil quick
Ant has a super fast first step
Definitely, Edwards has his own strengths, but MJ's speed was on another level. Edwards has a lot of potential though. What improvements do you think could make him even better?
Ion know bruh Mike was slightly quicker but ain’t quick af too and more explosive than Mike, which contributes to how he can take in air contact at the rim and still finish a lot of the times
@WeenieDew True, Ant's explosiveness is next level! It really sets him apart.
Jordan was scoring like a beast since day one. The ppg are night and day
Well, to be fair Jordan was the main guy on his team for his whole career and did not have that much scoring options other than him before Pippen. He's still probably the greatest scorer ever, with the highest PPG average by any player in NBA history.
Im so glad we have AE here in Minnesota!
So glad to hear that enthusiasm!
I love the fact that he's a great two way player and has that killer instinct. Nobody is calling him the next MJ, hell MJ the one said he was better than him. Who the heck am I to disagree. Do yo thang young fella!
And he keeps proving doubters wrong!!
Jordan didn't say Edward's was better
Mike told Anthony Edwards "You're younger than I am, you're more athletic, you're bigger than me. Use your body more, create more space, and you'll be unstoppable.
We try to grab attention but definitely aim to deliver quality once you're here. Hope you found the video enjoyable beyond the clickbait!
Jordan is 6'6", Edwards is 6'4" . He's not bigger than Jordan. He has more upper body bulk than Jordan but overall Jordan is bigger.
Good catch on the details! While Edwards might be bulkier, Jordan's height gave him an edge. Each player's physical attributes contribute uniquely to their style and effectiveness on the court.
I bet Antman gives Barkley flashbacks he wishes to forget 🤣🤣🤣
He gives him NIGHTMARES for sure🤣🤣
@@Sportivations 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cracks me up just thinking about it🤣🤣🤣
That’s why I hate to hear all of this GOAT talk, there will always be a new greatest of all time.
This GOAT debate will never end hahah
Stop with the EXACT comparisons NIT PIC. Nobody is saying he has ALL of Jordan’s skills. They are saying that as of, RIGHT NOW, he’s on the TRAJECTORY to be LIKE MIKE. Mike was a DIFFERENT ANIMAL. BEFORE him (Jordan) there were NONE. And AFTER him (Jordan) there will be NO MORE. Mike was one of those ONCE IN A LIFETIME kinda things. 💯💯💯💯
There was Dr J. So umm you're wrong.
True, nobody will have ALL of MJ's skills. Closest we've seen is Kobe, but he wasn't as athletic and did not have big hands/broad shoulders like MJ.
@@DetroitMuscle You must be OUTTA YO MIND if you think Dr. J was on Micheal Jeffery Jordan’s Level. Unless you just TROLLING then you get a Pass. But, if you are SERIOUS, then you MIGHT need to go look at HIGHLIGHTS of BOTH player THEN come back with an HONEST opinion. SERIOUSLY. 👍🏾👍🏾☺️☺️
@@Sportivations Yes Kobe WAS. Until NOW. I kinda think Anthony might be a little CLOSER than Kobe was in my opinion. ESPECIALLY, with that FADEAWAY. OMG that look JUST LIKE Jordan. Plus, idk think Kobe’s DEFENSE was CLOSE to Mike either. I think Anthony might have Kobe beat THERE too, as far as, closer to Mike. 👍🏾👍🏾☺️☺️
It doesn't matter how good you are now, the number one enemy of "now" is and will always be nostalgia. You will always lose this battle, it's best we stop comparing.
Great point! Nostalgia is powerful, and every era has its heroes. Appreciating each player's time and contributions is what it's all about. 🏀✨
Although is it too early to say yes he’s on a page to be one of those guys who can lyft the games to another level, he athleticism right now is enough to enjoy. I wish to see someone to bring back the Jordan days it would be very exciting watching. God blessed him, but yes he is definitely something to watch without a doubt or questioning.
He's the next big thing!
He said D Wade 😂
Yeah, their games are kind of similar, don't you think?
Compare him to Flash not MJ.
He certainly is quick, so it’s a good comparison 😂
Saying Edwards is more athletic than MJ Is blasphemy smh
Well, he's stronger than MJ, but not faster and can't jump as high
@@Sportivations
Stronger? How did you came to this idiotic conclusion?
From Jordan himself. twitter.com/TaylorRooks/status/1329154301135089677?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1329154301135089677%7Ctwgr%5E92b260d1968f361506541f467af1e28533fd1132%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbolavip.com%2Fen%2Fnba%2Fmichael-jordan-thinks-anthony-edwards-could-be-better-than-him-20210317-0003.html
It's not good to compare him with MJ - everything is different today than in MJ's time. MJ is a legend of that time - and whether he would still dominate and stand out today is a million dollar question.
What makes A. Edwards different from the others today is its competitive spirit, desire to win and combativeness. To all that, you should also add that he plays beautifully, smartly and has a solid shot - and these are all winning combinations.
But not everything depends on him - whether they will be champions: that is a team question. I think they are playing well and have great chances.
There are plenty of players who are at his level, but what sets him apart from the rest is his competitive spirit and desire to win - that's what makes him recognizable.
I agree that it's hard to compare different eras, but let's not act like MJ wouldn't dominate in today's era. Especially since nowadays most teams play small ball without a rim protector big and MJ is one of the best slashers ever.
I totally agree on the last part though.
Mike was giving the kid some confidence calm down 😂
Agree.In fact Michael Jordan in playoffs was something special that we never again going to see.Anthony have 22 and a very big progression to be top 3.
When MJ speaks highly of yourself, you can only feel good about it right?!
Look alike wade 👊
They're almost like brothers 👊
Don't forget MJ had very big hands which gave him inimaginable advantage.
That's so true, people often overlook this but it gives him a huge advantage, offensively and defensively. Kobe even admitted it in an interview once.
Hopefully this won't get to his head and wouldn't become the other young superstars who lost or their way. Hope he becomes the best player in his generation and be a better man as well.
From watching his interviews, you can tell that's not the case, though everyone can change with time. Hopefully he will not!
MJ/KOBE and ANTMAN are going to go down as the best two way players ever.
That's high praise! Watching players who excel on both ends of the court is always thrilling. Can't wait to see how Ant's career unfolds alongside those legends.
@@Sportivations I know it’s early in Ants career but I grew up watching Jordan and Kobe. I see alot of similarities in all of them. I hope he follows these HOF’ers and carries his franchise to many Championships. GO WOLVES!!!
I'm not agree ,what u said michael,u better than him,u got 6 rings ,Edward has none of them...
Edwards goal: 2 three peats….. be over 6-0… score career 50,000 points, win 3 dunk contest, then get numbers retired on 4 different teams having them all bronze statue of him! 🤣
Which of these achievements seems the most challenging? I believe scoring 50K points; it's a feat nobody will likely ever accomplish.
Hes definitely the modern Mj
He sure is!
He definitely has the competitiveness! Only time will tell but I can see it…and MJ’s words are golden…he never said that about anyone else publicly so I will definitely stay tuned!
So intriguing that he never said that about anyone right?! Makes you really wonder what type of player he'll become!
You lost me at D.WADE....
lol I was wondering if I’m the only one lol I did a double take DWade? ? lol
He's a legend and future HOFer though!
This is how you know people just say bs. When waa DWade ever considered to be on the level of MJ. Never.
Exactly. But Ant man is going to be one of the greatest. He’s just getting started. But D Wade, heck nah! 😂
When he won FVMP at 24, people went crazy back then. Especially since everyone thought Dallas would sweep them after game 2. That was an amazing performance by Wade, in fact one of the best in NBA finals history. That sure drew a lot of comparisons with Jordan back in the day haha
big boy basketball is back!
Yesss!! Thanks for commenting :)
I think Anthony is a great young player and to say he is the next Michael Jordan may be an overstatement. You got to win rings and titles. he has a good start but surely MJ is the goat and the standard of total dominance.
Career wise, he's not there yet, but it's only his fourth season. MJ, for example, only made it to the finals in his seventh year. He still has plenty of time to grow and achieve success!
Not more athletic. Mike had a 48 inch vertical and a 6 foot 11 wingspan. Jordan has reached higher than any man on the planet with his hand
Jordan's athletic feats are truly legendary!
I think he meant at the age of 18
D Wade??
Some people like to compare D-Wade and MJ because of their incredible achievements in basketball. Right or wrong, it's a topic that pops up among fans and analysts alike. At Sportivations, we personally think MJ is the GOAT, but we truly value and admire the contributions of all NBA players, including D-Wade’s amazing career.
It's ANTS time period!
Absolutely! It's exciting to watch Ant take the spotlight. Can't wait to see what he does next!
Ant is phenomenal but...he's just about comparable to a D Wade in terms of his ceiling. Not Kobe or Mike.
Let's give him some time to prove his worth, it's only his 4th season so far! And the NBA is so competitive nowadays
explain why you said to a d wade
Really why can’t he just be ant man
He is! But people will always find a way to compare, that's just the way it is.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ANT-MAN HE'S NOT SELFISH AND HE PLAYS THE RIGHT WAY IF YOU DOUBLE HE'LL PASS THE BALL IF IT'S OPEN IT'S GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE HOOP THAT BOY IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT BIG MEGASTAR
I agree, he just plays the right way and has the right mentality! He's already a star, if not a superstar!
Imagine a player who has anywhere near what Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had! So Edwards has about 20% of Jordan and 15% of Kobe... basically makes him the greatest player in the universe right now. Incredible.
That’s quite the formula! It’s always fun to compare the greats and see how current players stack up. Edwards is certainly carving out his own legacy.
The title of this clip brought a little laughter then I realized someone is serious about this mistake. Just stop. No one yet is better than MJ.
For sure, he's far from MJ as of now, he even said it himself. However, MJ did say this about Ant before his draft: twitter.com/TaylorRooks/status/1329154301135089677?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1329154301135089677%7Ctwgr%5E92b260d1968f361506541f467af1e28533fd1132%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbolavip.com%2Fen%2Fnba%2Fmichael-jordan-thinks-anthony-edwards-could-be-better-than-him-20210317-0003.html
He just might be the next best thing, but not quite like MJ.
They all want to be Like Mike!
I remember when the best part about watching a T-puppies game on TV was hearing Kevin Harlan call the game. Great Googily oogily!!! Iykyk
"He just sucked the gravity out of the building!!" Kevin Harlan is such a great commentator!
Ah!….HELLO Haters????…Antman! Antman!🤣🤣🤣
Hell of a win by the Timberwolves!
@@Sportivations He/They…taking em down! But next round is going to be lit! A LOT OF DOGS in that 1! If the T’Wolves pull this one off OMG!
MJ is a millenial talent. You wont see his like for 2,000 years. Michael Jordan peaked out what Man can achieve. Tell me another 6'6 1/12 inch player has a 49 inch vertical and can run a 4.3 40? Isn't a person on the planet that can do that. Jordan is the most athletic human of all time.
LeBron is pretty up there in terms of athletic abilities too, but I get your point! Thanks for your commenting!
@@Sportivations
LeFraud can only jump with 1 foot, he has 0 real skills besides shoving his shoulder to the opponent chest. Peak MJ 86 to 93 was an alian, most athletic creature for the last 500 years.
Come on really if he wins six titles then we will talk 😅give me a break
😅 Setting the bar high! Let's see what the future holds. Always fun to watch how these predictions play out!
Your comepare Michael Jordan is the greatest NBA basketball player ❤❤❤
Lets see how Edwards does in this NEXT series against the defending champs Denver Nuggets! Now THIS should be an amazing series and the best of the conference semifinals
Probably even the best matchup for the whole playoffs! It's definitely going to at least 6 games. So eager to watch it!
isn't MJ 6'6 and Antman 6'4?
Back then, players were measured with shoes on, MJ is actually closer to 6'5. Edwards is 6'4 without shoes on, so MJ's only an inch taller really
He's still young bit of jordan in him,but he can't do what MJ did in this era.I bet even MJ cannot do what he did in today's game🫢
That'd definitely be interesting to see MJ in today's game, right?!
I like what I see from the young man and only after his career ends, will fans of the game be able to look over his body of work and compare his numbers and all the valuable traits that will put him in a conversation to how good he was. Until then. I'll just watch and enjoy the entertainment.
We should all appreciate the game the way you do!
Anthony "Ant-Man" Edwards is a great look for the NBA. However, comparing him to the greatest shooting guard to play in the NBA is too premature as he has a line of NBA players who were compared to Michael Jordan while Michael Jordan still played. There obviously can never be another Michael Jordan except Michael Jordan, and the closest clone was and will only be his protege Kobe Bryant whom mimicked all of Michael Jordan' on court moves.😎
Absolutely, comparing anyone to MJ is a huge statement. Edwards has shown some incredible potential early in his career, and it’s always interesting to see new talents measured against the greats. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
If zion can lose at least 15 more pounds no body and j mean nobody stopping that guy Edwards is good but there's levels
He didnt say that! And its not the same thing, just stop it. MJ knows "a bit" about basketball, so what he did was to pass the idea that Ant was realy very good, begore most people reaoy seeing Ant like that. But of course, he is not better than Mike...and still has to proove and win a lot to reach the level of the all time greats
Absolutely, it's all about passing the torch and recognizing potential. There's a long road ahead for Ant, but it's exciting to see where it leads. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
When you say better, you mean you need so many trophies, awards, championship rings and advertisement.
'better' can mean so many different things!!
ANT’s game reminds of MJ’s at the beginning of his second 3peat when he was 33; Van Gundy called him a jump shooter and his team got burned in the process. No knock on Ant but MJ was another level
Nah it reminds me more of 96-98 Jordan but with more athleticism. 91-93 MJ was better than current Edwards imo
@@GoGetYourShinebox you pretty much agreed with me since the second 3 peat went from 96-98 and Jordan was 33 in 96
@@vsaminat My bad I thought he was 33 in 93
Love the deep dive into MJ's career phases and how Ant's game compares. It’s awesome to see such knowledgeable fans discussing the nuances of basketball history. Can't wait to see how Ant's career progresses in light of these legends!
@@Sportivations nah brah ANTs game reminds me of how spoiled I was to watch nba basketball in that era! Unfortunately I was a poor college kid from overseas and couldn’t afford to go to the games in person I did have the privilege of seeing MJ Beat up on my Atlanta Hawks when he played with the wizards!
Id rather pick igoudala than LBJ by far
That’s a pretty bold choice! Iguodala definitely has his clutch moments and is a stellar defender. What is it about his game that makes you rate him so highly over LeBron? Always interesting to see how everyone values different aspects of a player's contributions. Curious to hear your thoughts, especially comparing to someone like Anthony Edwards!
At one point they was the same player in 2k lml
LeChoke overrated
Better than MJ my ahh, Dudes would say anything for views
Everyone has their opinions, right? It's all part of the fun and debate in sports. Thanks for sharing yours!
Bruh, let me tell ya something: PEOPLE WANT AN MJ REPLACEMENT SOOOO BAD ITS RIDICULOUS! Let's wait on this one. It's possible but this is asking a lot! TOO MUCH PRESSURE 🤣😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
0:30 wild🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😄 It's definitely a bold statement from Pat Bev that could catch anyone off guard. But, you never know, sometimes these bold predictions turn out to have some truth!
Ant is the Future of the NBA.
And the future looks so bright!
Wasn’t mj 6’6 and ant is only 6’4? So how is he bigger? Just weight?
He looks thicker than MJ
Some ppl say Jordan and Kobe both weren’t 6’6 they was 6’4
Ant man ain’t 6’4 bro probably 6’5
@@dwill95Jordan wasn't 6'4 or 6'5. When he stood next to the X-man (listed at 6'7) he looked like maybe a hair shorter, if he was at all shorter. Mike was at least 6'6.
Players used to be measured with shoes on, they're now measured barefoot. Please check the link below:

This one was even before the draft, they look about the same height. Plus, Ant reportedly grew another 2 inches since being drafted (that's what his coach said)
