[@brooksfleming7643]

People like to hear themselves. No one will be another Kobe let alone Jordan.

[@1kbmahan]

Anthony Edward’s is as good as Anthony Edward’s.

[@DefenderOfLogic]

People were comparing the style of the play and the competitive edge that he plays with. The crossover pull-up jumper. The fade-away jumper. His defensive prowess. (Blocks and steels) His ability to be competitive on both ends of the floor. The styles of play a very similar. People were comparing styles, not legacy.

[@BarnzTT]

Jordan was poetry in motion. To me, the Jordan comparison ended when Ant Man failed to bring even bronze for losing against the Shroder led Germany team.

[@carlreynolds7043]

I said the same thing that Kenny said, Anthony Edwards is more similar to D Wade than MJ. Both are 6’4” and very athletic with similar bodies and games.

[@TH-pi7tv]

6'4" is his listed height since the NBA draft. Its been a few years now and he has grown to at least 6'6" - Source: His coach.

[@carlreynolds7043]

@@TH-pi7tv at any rate regardless of his 2” growth spurt in the last few years or so, my major point was Anthony Edwards game is similar to D Wade’s more so than Jordan’s. And that’s not a knock on Ant Man because D Wade is arguably the third best shooting guard behind MJ and Kobe.

[@TV-ob1if]

@@TH-pi7tv i saw this too. i don't trust this information - i trust an actual documented source. he seems taller, but it's hard to tell

[@blackprintholdings2567]

It’s the aggression, people are missing the aggression that was there during MJ era. Today’s game is soft, you would think you are watch WNBA. Antman is reminding us about being competitive.

[@brooksfleming7643]

And the comsistency.

[@user-gd2bg2fm4o]

Edwards maybe compared if He won championship 6 times Makes 10 times offensive players 6 finals MVP Defensive player of the year rookie of the year Slam dunk champion twice! Play with a bad health Man the list goes on. . .

[@sideeyed7682]

You’re right, as of now there’s no comparison but Edwards is the next generational talent this league has seen. In Ten years the comparisons will be closer, and If KZbin still around i’ll come back to this comment and remind you.

[@monster9490]

[@guillermomclean8657]

Charles is right though he really doesn't play like MJ he just jumped like MJ

[@jonsmith6506]

these guys live game by game...he wins a game , oh he's baby jordan...he loses a game he's not....these guys are the biggest flip floppers on the planet. All sports media are...smdh

[@mvpsredhot]

Let the kids career play out! This is ridiculous. Good player but damn he’s young. Let him develop and see where his career goes. League in good hands with up and coming young players and organically built teams. Let’s just enjoy the passing of the torch so to speak. Finally turning the page on Lebron era

[@edwardthames9003]

This guy touched on the defense and how Edwards is not there but still seems to not grasp that as being a stronger reason why the comparison is not warranted. It wasn't just the defense that MJ had coming into the league. It was the total understanding of the game, the anticipation of what the other team was trying to to do. The way he was aware and would leave his man to go and get steals and blocks because he knew the offensive players wasn't expecting him to leave his man to do so. He was able to this this because he knew the man with the ball had no intentions of passing to his man he was leaving to go and get the steal or block the shot. This is something not in existence in today's game. Basically Edwards and these other guys don't compare because of the elite basketball IQ MJ came into the league with. He could dominate you on the offensive end and shut you down on the defensive end. Until someone is able to display that the comparisons won't fit.

[@noelalbelo]

People forget how high the bar is to compare anybody with MJ, even Mr James playing 21+ seasons didn’t came close to achieving what MJ did in only 13 seasons with the Bulls

[@copperysinger5985]

It’s very hard to fill MJ shoes

[@mariogibson8289]

how can you compare antman to jordan, not even close. i notice when ppl compare players they always look at scoring and zero defense. you said it bro. jordan was a complete player, i dont see the defense from edwards, just offense

[@MaahaahRooh9]

Actually Anthony Edward’s game is closer to David Thompson

[@terencesmith4213]

They always have somebody compared to Michael Jordan... fantasy...they want you to believe this will go on forever and ever...smh

[@BarnzTT]

People should watch Michael Finley. Finley was a beast.

[@user-kw7tx8qw6u]

Big differences mj is a humble man. antman is good but mj is super clutch,

[@wgsuperstar7730]

If he can win 4 or 5 titles? Hasn't even been to the conference finals

[@baristatraveler8038]

If you compare them both in their first four seasons.. AE is nowhere near MJ. The media just hyping him up.

[@user-zg5ws2mj6k]

Micheal Jordan rookie was a MVP and defensive player of the year

[@Whizkidsoo]

He’s cut from the same cloth in modern day era dudes 22… His game is similar… he’s one of one love that answer chuck recanted that comment I do understand what chucks saying

[@MaahaahRooh9]

Lets let a player get 5 or 6 years in before we start making comparisons

[@jeromelewis4677]

Man, the kid looks like he can play but pleased let the kid be himself he no where near MJ, like Barkley say.

[@jeffgray6291]

You said it; where the league was at that time, we're not going backwards in time Michael Jackson, Prince, Kiss, were in that time, those times are past we live in a totally different society, there will be no more times like those, old days and old ways, new days and new ways. The society is always looking for the Next big thing. Those times are over, it's a new day and a new world sport and entertainment doesn't matter that as much, day to day living is hard it's a dangerous world. Let Edwards be Edwards.

[@moxmann]

I grew up in the Chi watching MJ and Jordan is the standard. Ant Man reminds of us MJ with his attitude, competitiveness, athleticism, and willingness to compete on the defensive end. Most importantly getting other players to follow him and raise their game. I've never seen KAT compete so hard on defense.

[@JC-db7so]

Idk about that. MJ much more explosive than Ant and he was quicker too.

[@moxmann]

@@JC-db7so Kobe wasn't as explosive or quick as MJ, but can you beat your man get your shot.

[@ikemartin6500]

Antman has the "Jordan" thing in him. But, at this age, Michael took over the game(ask Bird). Yes, he was a chucker, but he would do whatever it took to win with what he had. Antman is getting there, but MJ took everything personal. No matter how petty it may be. That drove him. Also, I don't remember MJ getting blown out.

[@jaydogg4life]

Because he would'nt allow it, he would tell teammates that were nit effective gimme the ball and get out of the way, im gonna win no matter what, Ant is too nice of a guy, I wanted hin to take over lastnight and go out firing but he depended on guys that were not helping him much anyways, last night should have been a 50 to 60 point scoring night for him

[@koolshop1653]

Barkley right aint no comparison to mike nxt thing yall going to b saying he better..yall give ppl too much credit good thing he said he want them to stop but saying he got a 3 ball saying mike dnt or he bttr but compare him to somebody else than mike like kenny said more d wade yall comparing him straight to the top Goat status yall do too much its many other great players yall can compare him to smfh

[@Vonslik69]

The problem is the general public and sports anaylist constantly create the comparison narrative? Charles Barkley said it best " STOP DOING THAT"!! Let ANT be ANT!!

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

It's only natural b/c it is human nature. And the NBA wants $$ so they jump on anything that will bring in the $$.

[@fullmetal1766]

The better comparison is lebron because he's better then lebron at the same age Jordan isn't comparable

[@renenunez9895]

I'm Kurious playing in the back ground.

[@RodNubianKing]

He is more acclimated to be SIMILAR to Dwayne Wade. Nobody on earth can be like another person.

[@MelvinMartin-fv7hu]

Barkley is correct! Leave Jordan alone and let that man make his own name! They games are totally different

[@abetoyzsamtsirhc4024]

Playing style can be replicated through hard work.. Black Jesus is almost not human.. Mj got injured in his second season but the doctor says this and that, you know the story, see how fast he heals and the stories of other NBA players they can't keep up with him in his daily activities, sir Charles got his story, magic and i think bj Armstrong and stark too says that man almost doesn't sleep... MJ is built different......... Let antman be antman

[@This_Is_Skooba]

They don't mean he's as good as Jordan or will be Jordan. They're just comparing the styles. Don't have to take it so serious Charles.

[@alexwilson2076]

I can't wait to he face ja

[@ljminter1070]

Dmx once said don’t call me the next 2Pac, I’m the first X. Ant-man is the first him not the next MJ. We gotta stop these comparisons

[@realnsenpai]

Walmart jordan will never be on par with kobe nor mj. If i want to reach, he's closer to d wade because he has a quick first step because he's young and athletic. That's all. Anyway, I won't belittle d wade like this again. His fans will have to wait for his competitors to pass their primes or their bodies to give up to finally elevate him

[@YoungMaster_626]

Facts 💯

[@ForEducationalPurposesOnly]

Did she really say I think they mean it as a compliment? No shit 😂😂😂

[@courtneydavis3985]

He better not lose The new MJ

[@jay4cee]

Kenny is wrong… wade had Odom for 1 season in his rookie year, before they traded him to get shaq. In actual fact wade carried old fat shaq

[@jaydogg4life]

Myself included looks at his game and see flashes of Jordan and I expected him to take over last night and bring the Timbs back but he not a killer like Mike or Kobe, its a natural thing to see a guy that plays so similar to a great and expect that greatness but its also unfair, he aint those guys......yet

[@nickyoung398]

ESPN people are the only ones doing this stupid comparison

[@Rick-og6oy]

I'm surprised white people aren't saying Caitlin Clark is better than Jordan!

[@MaahaahRooh9]

Michael Jordan was not compared to David Thompson when he came in the league, I understand marketing , but big business on a certain level has messed up the game Remember it was Derrick Rose, Zion Williamson, Tray Young, and Jae Morant! The media at some point made these players to be the next superstar of superstars though they are good to great players they are not Michael Jordan, or Kareem or Magic.

[@YoungMaster_626]

He’s more of D wade with better jump shot

[@StormCMC]

3:37 🧢🧢🧢🧢 Jordan hands WERE NOT bigger than Wilt’s or Kawhi’s that’s big cap

[@mwenzakokwanza2525]

MJ is a unicorn. We will never see that anytime soon. Lets allow the Ant Man to be Ant Man and not Air Jordan.

[@512maysa]

The size of the hands? Com'on dude what are you saying? Are you saying Ant didn't have big hands like MJ so Ant is not good? Ant shoot threes ways better than MJ. Ant never want anyone to compare but he wants people to know him as ANTHONY EDWARDS.

[@vindigga6]

Its crazy how ant is so good yet mj was that much better. U can compare the way they attack the rim, but thats about it. Theres an entire ocean between mj and edwards.

Shaq can be petty and immature but Shaq does have a point. OKC not only made it into the playoffs but as the number 1 seed with one of the youngest roster. Denver is the defending champs so it is expected for them to be top seed and making the playoffs.

MJ in his 4th year in NBA Achieve this 👇 MVP, scoring title, All NBA defensive first team, Steal Title , DPOY, average 35ppg.. MJ won all that un his 4th year in the NBA Ant in His 4th year in NBA MVP - 0 Scoring title - 0 DPOY - 0 Steal Title - 0 Average 34.4ppg Take Note: No other Player in NBA History won DPOY averaging 30 ppg while MJ Did it at 35ppg.. That's a different, Ant Man is Better at Age 22.. but remember MJ Start at 21 while Ant Man start at 19 that's a real difference..

[@melvinjacobs7316]

I know this is slightly off topic but…. If LeBron the GOAT; then why aren’t up and coming players called the next LeBron? It shows who the GOAT is. No body trying to be LBJ. Ain’t no body looking for the next LeBron; but the NBA still looking for the next Jordan. Jordan been retired for over two decades!!! And still on people minds!!!! LeBron still playing and mofos low key wish he would retire. As a proud Chicagoan; I’m not hating on Edward’s but we need to see more before he gets the “JORDANESQUE classification. Jordan was dominant on a mythological level! Lebron was not. And Edward’s is too new. Kobe was the closest thing to Jordan.

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

VW isn't Jordan, but he will be the GOAT if he stays healthy.

What happened with the media and then you got the podcast you have one person that have all this control over the sports media and podcast and KZbin. The comparison didn’t come up until Stephen a Smith and Kendrick Perkins started that narrative about Edward was Michael Jordan and you guys ran with that let’s be real that’s where you get it from the new media ESPN and then y’all bring it on the podcast and everywhere else you put a lot of pressure on the kid just like the media came up with they was going to sweep Denver Nuggets. Y’all guys get that from ESPN and Stephen a Smith look what happened everybody in the podcast in KZbin going to look real stupid when they come back and win it’s one thing not gonna happen Denver will not get sweep
