There is only one Michael Jordan. Great video, Sean!
MJ could shoot the 3. I wish people would stop saying that. And if the 3 was a major part of the game back then Jordan would of been great at it too
Exactly. They just didn't shoot a hundred 3s a game like they do today. But Jordan was definitely a good three point shooter.
@@stuckinthe90sThegoldenera jordan was just as good as ray allen shooting that thing when came down to it being the only way to win. that says it all i think.
@@fleamarketmixtape3793MJ was a 51+ % shooter with the bulls. 10 scoring titles,9 all defence, 6 rings,6 mvp,6 playoff mvp,on and on. Stop this silliness!!!
MJ has NO WEAKNESS in the game of basketball
FACTS ✌️🏾👍🏾
I see Anthony Edwards more of a DWayne Wade than MJ before DWade had those knee injuries. Like his attitude towards the game tho!!!
Totally agree. Physically and Statistically they have many in common.
Edwards moves remembrers Jordan because he was his idol, he learnt his moves and imitates him.
Dwade was better than Edwards when it comes attacking the paint and passing Plus Wade his better defensive player than Edwards
@@reilym979 Ant is more aggressive in the paint and better 3pt shooter doe
@@user-xb4fm5rx8h Ant-Man is better than Dwade it's all mental for Ant-Man to take next step he needs to stay in attack mode and stop taking 3s
No..
The comparison is ridiculous!
Exactly
Not at all ask mj
The comparisons are cool, but it's just nice to enjoy what he brings to the game
Yeap.. HE BRINGS JOY TO MAVS DEFENDERS😂
Theirs some similarities but Mike had alien hands and could do so many things with the basketball in the air that Ant man can't do.
You nailed it! People are forgetting about MJ’s hands and how he palmed the ball like a grapefruit.
I have made the comparison to Jordan , he does remind me of Jordan , but he is not there yet . If he keeps progressing learns how to win those close games he could be a baby Jordan.
Would 22 year old Jordan be getting held to 17 points on 5/19 shooting against this Dallas Mavericks?
Jordan got held to 15 pts multiple times in the playoffs around the same age. The Jordan propaganda is ridiculous.
@@user-xb4fm5rx8h 15 points multiple times in the playoffs at the same age, you say... 🤨 Here’s the scoring output for MJ’s first 4 seasons... where’s the multiple 15 pint games? 23, 30, 35, 29, 49, 63, 19, 35, 42, 30, 50, 55, 38, 44, 39, 29, 36, 24, 23, 25,
You Liar 🤥
I don't think it's fair to compare anyone except Kobe to MJ because they were both just different. They're just in a different league.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare anyone to MJ period.
Kobe wasn't in the same universe as MJ.
@@dameshamrocY’all overrating Jordan. Oldheads gotta stop acting like he’s god😂
@@user-xb4fm5rx8h Jesus Christ is God.. Jordan is by far the best player I’ve ever seen by far and I’ve watched both eras. Again.. no comparison.
I’ve never heard MJ say he was tired. At any age! The comparison is ridiculous. And MJ continued to adapt his game as needed or as he aged. If he had wanted to, he would have perfected the 3 as well. It just wasn’t necessary at the time.
Prime Mike couldn’t guard Kyrie
I'll never call someone the new MJ. But I've said. Jimmy and Ant are His son's
I'm thinking If Mj was guarding Kyrie, Kyrie would be the one to receive oxygen. MJ's stamina is beyond compare.
He's impressive. He obviously patterns his game after the great MJ, which is a good thing. Will be interesting to see how he does the next couple of years. I do like his attitude and that smile will do wonders for him as long as he can keep that attitude during the losing times. Remember, it took Jordan until his 7th season before he won a championship, but Jordan was always Jordan (both good and bad) and that's why you couldn't help but to be in awe of him.
I think all seven of those years were three teams and no one was taking away those championships. Once it was Jordan's time, he didn't share it like other legends.
@@FoxUnitNell That 90s Bulls team surely was great!
A player shouldn’t get compared to legends of the sport until they play 7 years in the league, minimum. Penny hardaway, grant hill , Jerry stack house, Harold miner, vince carter , mcgrady, etc. were all supposed to be the next jordan or whoever and then injuries , personal issues , etc came into play and it never happened.
Dr. J, one of the greatest ever…won’t even consider someone in the conversation of GOAT unless they have played at least 10 years. I agree… it’s too early to compare him to MJ.
The comparison is usually the kiss of death, but Ant definitely has something special. Does he have the ethic and the killer instinct. The G.O.A.T. is a high bar.
Ant man is more of a D Wade Vincer Carter hybrid than a MJ Kobe type
Both Vince and D Wade had similarities to Jordan, not everything but some. Athleticism is definitely one of em
Sean, your videos are great! Watch every day. MJ is the goat, but I would love to see someone replicate that amazing play. Thanks Sean!
It is still way too early to tell if he'll live up to be the next Jordan, but as of right now, yeah, there are definitely signs that Edwards has some Jordan in him. It'll be fun to see how he progresses.
Sean, great video and greetings to you buddie.... I just want for the media stopping comparing people to other, for the time MJ came to the league was being comparing to Dr. J. Stop it please, I'm boring to see and hear this... Maybe are fisical similarities between Anthony Edwards and MJ, the mental factor is the difference here, Jordan is in other level, even though when he was a young guy, remember with just 24 or 25 years old, he stands up almost alone against the '86 Boston Celtics and give it to them 63 points in playoffs, in the mithical Boston Garden... And right now, when I though that Anthony Edwards could be a real thing, eliminating the Nuggets, now he melt off against the Mavs with two bad games, you can have a bad game, but two!!! Maybe the comparing him to MJ is affecting him, so stop doing that and just expect for the best with this young fella!
So I was watching some highlight of Edwards, and I was like damn this guys feels like Michael Jordan, so I googled and this Video came up
A reason to watch NBA again 👊 tired of 21 years flopping
Why is this even a discussion? Have that many people forgotten how great Jordan was? Edwards isn't even close to Jordan. He's not even close enough to consider this conversation.
Oldheads overrate Jordan, yeah he was great but y’all look at him at he’s god. Boomers glaze the shit out of Mike.
I think it's unfair to call him the next Michael Jordan. I know that Anthony Edwards is awesome, and I'm all about psyching up people, so I want him to do great! I'm rooting for him, although I've always loved East Coast teams! But we all know who Michael Jordan is, his perfect record in the finals, his ten scoring titles, his 5 MVPs, his DPOY, his two dunk championships, his NCAA championship, his perfect record with Team USA, and especially with the Dream Team! So, please, let the kid play, he's special, and let's see where his talents take him!
Great Episode!
To be honest I sincerely hope that he can prove me, all the haters & naysayers wrong but as of currently/right now, he’s just simply not a super/hyper dominant, crazy competitive mega clutch, stone cold 🥶 killer, who’s insanely hyper competitive like MJ, Kobe & Bird were throughout their entire careers. It seems like it’s been my experience that anytime Antman has totally dominated whole teams is when players on opposing teams start trash talking him in the most reckless/most disrespectful ways imaginable to bring out that beast & fully waking the sleeping giant that’s been laying dormant throughout these playoff games. With MJ & Kobe, it never took much for them to look for any reason to just flat out go off on every team in the NBA & completely dominate the hell outta them. REALTALK TRUESTORY 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔💭💭💭⏳⏳⏳🚀🚀🚀💨💨💨 #ProveAllTheHatersWrong!
Y are u a hater or a naysayer??
There is no player comparable to MJ. This includes Kobe..athletically alone Kobe was several steps behind..Kobe maximized his talent. But God Given things like hand size, arm length, vertical athleticism etc. Kobe didn't have. The post fade is similar, mid range shooting. Competitive nature. But there is substantial gap.
Anthony Is closer to a modern Wade, than MJ. Still very good. But similar to Kobe, Hand size, etc he is behind
The will to win is always what is going to be missing in this generation, but…wish Antman the best and I love him
Anthony Edwards is not Michael Jordan
Stop calling him the next Jordan call him the first Antony Edwards
The curse of the next MJ comparison
The CANTman Edwards has a long way to go
Stop anointing people as “next” after 1 good playoff series
MJ the GOAT. Stop playing already!!
I am cheering for Anthony Edwards because like Jokic, Giannis, and Luka, he has the individual competitive fire rather than classless, bushleague colluding frauds that have been the generation between Kobe and the aforementioned four.
However, even though it is still very early in stage of Edwards' career, when compared to a very early MJ, the former has been far less efficient of a shooter in the mid-range despite playing a far less of defensive league and lack of dominant shot blockers to challenge him at the rim (one less now that Gobert is on his team), as well as the lack killer instinct on defense. This is all despite playing with good teammates (KAT, Gobert, Conley, Reid, D'Angelo) compared to Jordan (Woolridge was the only positive Box Plus Minus player in MJ's first 4 seasons, which included the dominant rebounding Oakley). Edwards was amazing in the Suns series this year, but as the Nuggets and Mavericks have shown so far, he was helped by the Suns' absolutely dumpster fire of a defense.
Dwayne Wade had that Mjchael Jordan similarities
Wade said Jordan was his inspiration.
I see a lot of Dwayne Wade in him, with his athleticism, size, and style of play. Minnesota should be very lucky if he has a career like Wade's.
He’s gonna be better than Wade when it’s all said n done
Just looks like Ant Man patterned some of his game off of MJ. But so have so many other players.
I think we need to look at this from a different angle. The reason why Ant stands out is because noone in the league (for the last decade plus) has played the SG/SF spot with the aggressiveness that started with MJ (aside from near retirement Kobe).
In saying that, let's start with comparing Ant to the list of "next Michael Jordan's" who were directly descended from MJ himself
Harold Miner, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Jerry Stackhouse, to a certain extent Allen Iverson, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Dwayne Wade, Derrick Rose, etc. That's just off the top of my head. Who on that list does Ant knock off before everyone starts comparing him to MJ himself? Harold Miner? Maybe Stackhouse (he was a beast at one point)
Coming from an oldhead, stop worrying about GOATS and comparing these guys to past players and just enjoy them for who they are....my 2 cents
Edwards has me watching again… I haven’t watched in so many years… I don’t mind him out of all people being compared to my GOAT due to his attitude, style of play, athleticism , confidence etc….
He can be the next face of 2K but the NBA, nope not yet.
Sir Charles: "They're both black." 🤣🤣
We heard the same comparisons and allegations about Jimmy Butler of the Heat at virtually the same time last year! It’s probably not difficult to cherry-pick shots of Basketball Players doing the same stuff! Especially two Players who play the same position at the same sport being filmed by the same shots and angles! It would be way more surprising if they couldn’t find shots that match!
MJ is different ... @ 23 MJ is all about driving the ball and did some amazing stuff.. breaking down double team.... for me Edwards sometimes shoot too much 3s and this Mavs series he didnt break that double team instead always passing the ball... he is more young wade to me than MJ... Kobe game is still the closest to MJ IMO
Come on Sean ..You and the whole NBA media just dont wanna Admit that european basketball playera Took the NBA...Edwards is good but that comparision is non Sense..look what Luka doing in these playoffa so far with one knee...Jokić three time MVP but Edwards is Like the GOAT of the NBA today...cmon...
Ain’t nobody the next MJ. At least in this millennia.
2023 - Comparing Michael Jordan with Jimmy Buckets - Are they the same? Answer: No
2024 - Comparing Michael Jordan with Anthony Edwards - Are they the same? Answer: No
2028 - Comparing Michael Jordan with Kenny Smith Jr. - Are they the same? Answer: No
Its not a good comparison MJ is the greatest of his era, put that pressure on that guy could make it fall on desperation and you don't want that or even frustration, so he's a great basketball player and hopes he continues growing but we don't know if he can follow MJ footsteps, that's probably too much
Let him grow and don't hype him..... His play style might bear some resemblance to MJ but is at least one level below at both ends, not to mention the killer mentality.
MJ and Kobe would lock down Luka. Luka is basically unguardable right now since we don't have players at the level of the two aforementioned any longer. Ant is very guardable. Honestly, Naz Reid might be the best player on the Wolves right now. With Ant, we see shades of MJ or Kobe like 1% of the time. But without consistency, it's little more than a gimmick at this point. Ant would have to get like 90% better to be anywhere near MJ.
Pick one.
Bj Armstrong or John Paxon
Nothing wrong with MJ comparisons, just don't say one is better then the other that's where it gets dumb. Ant man doesn't haven't those Hands, but he's got some nice handles.
They can only try to be like MJ .. Michael Jordan is in a totally different planet.. And MJ could shoot 3 points I don't understand why they say he couldn't... There's no comparison to MJ..
Let people make their own mark
Stop with the comparisons.💯
(Me speaking slowly and carefully as if to a child)
No, they are demonstrably different people. The exist in two different places right now and they were also born in different points of time. That makes them **not** the same.
Kinda funny as the GOAT conversation for that last few years that its Jordan who he is compared to and not a current player who claims to be the GOAT
Anthony Edward is not in the shape Jordan was in or the work ethic it seems, however it is possible I guess Jimmy Butler has a long lost brother 😏
Ant has some qualities that are similar and are refreshing in this modern NBA, but he is no way near MJ in his early years.
Like father like son literally
Literally? lol!
Anthony Edwards has had too many playoff games with 30% shooting and/or scoring 19 or less points. He's nice but MJ comparisons are too soon. Media is thirsty for the next MJ and they anointed Ant too soon. Luka or Jayson Tatum might be this year's Finals MVP.
Ant man is being dismantled by Pj Washington and Kyrie Irving. So…do put this pressure on his shoulders
Lots of players try to copycat MJ cuz he’s the GOAT. Normal to have similar moves. Maybe a DNA test will prove if there’s any other connection cuz a lot of people do see the physical looking similarities.
Caption:I wish they stop jumping the gun!
Harold Miner was suppose to be the next Jordan.
The only thing we've seen close to Jordan R.i.p Black Mamba.
Bro looks like himself out there.
Hell, I remember when Michael Finley was supposed to be the next MJ too. It's a long list and so far none of them have even come close.
@@mj23goat3
Oh yeah it was Finley
Comparisons have been happening with MJ forever. “The next MJ”… it’s getting tired. Let Edwards be Edwards.
Ant is DWade or Clyde Drexler. Hardly MJ.
Nigga said Clyde Drexler😭😭😭😭
Some moves are similar but not as finesse as MJ. MJ has grace and smooth dunks, lay ups and stays longer in the AIR. To me, still not close to MJ
Edwards' got that kind of game: a shooting guard that can jump and glide in the air, no fear to attack the paint and the center, the mid range .... a scorer. Its not only MJ; Kobe, Drexler, Carter, Mcgrady...lot of players with these features; but MJ was the tougher competitor ever and a leader... give the kid a break; at 22 Jordan had the Olympic Gold ( not difficult for a US player) but was yet kicked out on first playoff round
Ant-man is a muscular version of kobe
Ant is far more athletic than Kobe
ant and ja both doing a lot for the game!... my bad... luka also... blasphemy to mention luka...
kobe bryant is the closest to michael jordan level 💯👍👌
Ant more like Stevie Franchise u can see he's burning out fast, bad eating, not enough rest, too much minutes. He's nowhere near an engine like Stockton/Payton he should be limited to 30mins.
More comparable with Kevin Edwards who played with the New Jersey Nets.....
AE is closer to J.R. Rider than MJ
Stop the comparison. They are not the same. This is hilarious 😂
No they are not the same.
Jordan will always be better.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Hey kids until these players three peat don't bring up Michael Jordan.
Best back court ever Ron Harper and Micheal Jordan or B.J. Armstrong and Micheal Jordan
Resume three peat 🏆
They both going to lose to bird😂😂😂
The NBA is desperate
Its far too soon to make any MJ/Kobe comparisons. Do it when Ant is in years 7-10 then we’ll see what he’s like then. All ppl are doing now is setting him up for failure.
Ant is 22. Jordan didn’t win the title until he was 27 right? Let’s wait and see.
He ain't no Jordan, Jordan had a lot more fight in him.
Media out of control always spinning someone as the next Micheal Jordan. Get a life media . Kobe Lebron Wade they all have some similarities to Jordan. Ant Man is not the Michael Jordan.
hell nah
no.
Stop this non sense. You can compare Edwards to J rich, Vince Carter or D wayde. Thats it. None of these cup cakes should be co.pared to Mike, Lew Al, Kobe Russell6, Larry Magic, Wilt, TD, Shaq because these flower players never had the roughness of the league and those NBA legends played through it and won Multiple NBA titles with out losing much.
Dude find something better to do
Lebron james is the goat
pls stop it 🔴 the dude getting swept right now ain't no next MJ not even close to kobe stoooop it btm
Ant is trash lol
where is the comparison now that they are eliminated??
Edwards can put jordan's on but he ain't never going to fill them
No more comparisons to MJ. He was in a class by himself. Edwards hasn't even been to the NBA Finals yet. And, in the series against Dallas, he hasn't played well at all. If you matched up prime 1992 Jordan against 2024 Edwards in a game, Jordan would put him on lock from the opening tip.
1 locking Abt up is crazy 2 hasnt been to the finals??? Mj ain’t make it till he was 28 and ant is 22
@@jdizzy5044 lol it's not even a fair comparison. The game was a truly physical game back then... real basketball.. not the watered down, anything is allowed (even walking, travelling, multiple steps out pivot, jump steps etc) shit we have today.... this isnt basketball. It's a clown show.
@@jdizzy5044 jordon played 3 years in college . and was national player of the year 2 times!
@@jdizzy5044 MJ was playing against great teams of the 80s with only Orlando Woolridge and Charkes Oakley and he was still the best player in the NBA.
@@jdizzy504427. And Jordan didn't come in the league until he was 21. First 4 years of MJ there isn't a comparison
No.
I don’t think we're doing Ant any favors by putting Jordanesque expectations on him. I saw him play live a few weeks ago. He'd great, but that night, inconsistent at scoring. He'll only get better though, imo. (And even the best have off nights.) Ant reminded me more of D. Wade.
I do hope he matures past coming out before games to dance on opponents' logos and trash talking the home crowds. Let your game talk, Ant. I'm a big fan of trash talking, but direct it at the players. He should get some tips from Larry. lol!
The face of the NBA? Too soon for that.
I can't wait to see this guy play more as he gets older!
Mike always exceeded expectations, Edward’s hasn’t lived up to it for me
You must have missed the first several years of Jordan's career. I consider him the GOAT, but his first years were full of playoff exits
@@mariomanningfandid MJ ever underperform or wasn’t the best player for the entire series during his first round exits? Do you think those early exits affect his legacy?
It's not about the exit, that's a team issue.... A young Jordan didn't shoot 20+% a few games in a row facing tough defense
@@hattorihanzo5038 legacy is a dumb overused term in the modern era. Edwards is no less a player when he loses than Jordan was. He's 22. Jordan was years older and still not winning titles. And no MJ didn't "underperform" because fans back then were smart enough to not throw around useless terms like that. They knew it was a team sport and losses/wins don't always have to be about just one player.
@@jackyjackson604 so winning is attributed to the star but losing isn't? How convenient for the narrative obsessed fans and pundits out there today. It's a 5 on 5 game.
Only time will tell 🤔🥇🥈
Wait a min. Ant in that interview implied he's better than MJ bc he's got the 3 ball. Lol
I think he accidentally implied it, not realising. Funny that I thought I was the only one who thought so and noticed it p
Mike had a 3 ball, he just didn't shoot them like they do now 💯
@@demitriuswilliams4729 yeah for sure. I think Mj shot 33% for his career....Ant is shooting 35%
Luka is like a hybrid of Bird & Magic
How is he a hybrid of 2 6ft10 dudes Luka is 6ft4 tops 😂
@@geert574Luka 6-6 6-7
I think he's like Charles Barkley with his back up game and post plays.
Very similar ant is that good above the rest like MJ was
Anthony Edwards is not Michael Jordan
Even though it took awhile before the Bulls started their championship run everyone knew who the best player in the league was. Fans knew. Players knew, and sports media confessed it. With Edwards he’s not even consistently the best player in a game.
Min were fave over Dal,but lost it. Luka had one healthy knee. Last summer with Antman Usa team got eliminated early too
