The science behind Anthony Edwards' athleticism | Sport Science | NBA Today

[@davonteoneal2809]

For you commenters who’s saying they’re glazing or forcing the narrative of Anthony Edwards, you guys do realize that this segment used to be prevalent at the peak of ESPN powers. It’s not a new thing.

[@Faithlol1]

As a data analyst who loves atheticism and is a big fan of Ant and kyrie Irving, that was absolutely doping.

[@Kei-rd6oe]

ANT-MAN’s resemblance to young MJ is truly uncanny-everything from his appearance and athleticism to his playing style! It’s no surprise people keep making comparisons, especially with fans feeling nostalgic for MJ's era. I believe ANT-MAN is the closest we’ll get, and he’s on track to carve out his own generational legacy too!!!

​@@ooglespoogle1929I mean still, MJ himself said there are similarities in their game.

[@thedunkcamp]

I think Anthony Edwards is one of the best athletes in the league for sure! 11'10" max touch seems a bit low based on what he's done in games.

[@stevelau7694]

Definitely agreed. I'm 4 inches shorter than him and have a 2ft differential from height to standing reach so if he has proven to be able to hit is head on 10ft on a chase down block, that should be enough to prove that he's definitely reaching over 12ft once he's fully warmed up

[@Sugar_beans]

Ant watching this like, “ Yeah I can play in the NFL. ”

[@SupereagleChannel]

He does have the build for it

[@danielthompson3928]

Right, the argument against NBA players no longer applies. They say they are “soft” but I would like to see football players play without pads. Everyone in the NBA is way heavier and muscular than 20+ years ago. We have seen simple taps from Lebron break Gordon Hayward and Chet Holmgren’s legs.

[@Sammy-f7l]

@@Sugar_beans Ant said he can play in the MLB, NFL, Tennis , a professional swimmer etc 🤣😂 Ant thinks he can play any sport lol.

[@nathanxu666]

man I would've loved one of those in-depth sports science videos where they mic up ant

[@hwago123]

Actually a better vid than I though t it was going to be. Though that clip of MJ wasn’t a turn around jumper, he just jumped and shot over the defender.

[@jonathanbeason2871]

That’s the reason why they compared him to Michael jordan.😮

[@jjmcg9688]

He is closer to 6’5.5, he grew between first and second year. He hasn’t been 6’4 for seasons now. Finch said it.

[@elitemidrange]

They always say players grow. Ant himself said he was 6’4 lmao, I don’t know why y’all are so bent on making these dudes taller than they really are, they are already so tall. I don’t get it. Ant is 6’4, Tatum is not 6’9 or 6’10, he’s 6’8, KD really is 6’9.5-6’10, not 7 ft, etc. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Comparing a player to Jordan will never end well. Look at Booker. Tatum did not win a dime until he stopped trying to be Jordan but rather himself

[@alkebulanlion6198]

Ant got skill as well he that dude plays both way him in the playoffs is box office and ant is him he like 2 inches shorter than mike but heavier. Mj balding mj 1984 had 48 inch vert insane ant got 44 inch vert like bron but he smaller but faster ant super freak

​@thekongstocks Ant plays and has the build of an NFL player already a the young age of 23. Back in the 80s however, MJ had was very slim and was 6 feet 6 inches Jumping 48 inches back in 1984 . Anthony edwards doesn't Move or Jump like michael Jordan .

[@calebbucket11]

@@aaronmbaye6498 Anyone with a brain knows that Mike did not have a 48 inch vert. Just think about it. At 6'6'' that means he would be getting his head 6 inches above the rim. If you can find a clip of him even getting 3 inches above the rim, that would be a 45 inch vert. He most likely was closer to around 44 ish.

He's not 6'4 anymore. He's 6'6
