This Is Why Anthony Edwards and MJ Are Compared! 

You can tell he studied mj.....

The kid is a tremendous player . I think he does not need this comparison now . Let him play . It's still early.

Same moves but clearly not the same style, just look at MJ's flow 😮😮😮 So fluid and visually perfect, MJ was dancing in the air and on the floor, one of the best athlete of all time !!!

He studied and learned the moves just like Kobe did. MJ heavily influenced so many players that came after him. New generations who never saw MJ play, can easily watch old games and video clips and learn from the master.

That Jordan layup will always impress me every single time

it's kinda eery actually

Bro, I know everybody love the highflying stuff. I do too. But the fact that this young man, at 22 years old, has already downloaded MJ's old man fadeaway to 100% completion is what really has me SENT.

Before the Jordan Comparisons he has to pass Kobe

They even wear the same accessories on the arm and leg 😅

No one can be like MJ period....He had more hangtime,more grace more of everything....No one is like MJ

The Hang time and Grace of Jordan. Is on another Level.

You really compared the best layup ever to an almost out of balance hallelujah reverse throw

People on here are whining and I’m over here smiling at all the similarities to their game. He’s making the NBA fun again and I see all MJ in him. He even has a physical resemblance to him when he had his hair earlier in his career😅. Anthony Edwards is the chosen one!

The only difference really is MJ had to adjust his shot way more because defense was better back then. If MJ was playing right now, he would be dunking on someone’s head at least 3 times a game.

Big props for finding all these clips. The accuracy is undeniable

Heard AE talk. Let's face it, Jordan is simply in a class by himself.

Before he can get to Jordan he first has to pass kobe and he's definitely not there yet. Great player though!!

He doesn’t have the same kinda mind set at this point. Young folks think MJ is all about high flying and stuff, but instead mj was fundamentally sound in EVERY aspect of the game.. and had a killer mentality… plenty of guys have gotten mj comparisons being atheletically awesome etc.. but only Kobe had the closest mindset of win at all costs

MJ more hang time, more graceful and bigger hands. AE more handles, wetter J and that euro tho

0:47 is insane. The amount of adjustments he made all while mid-air.

First win a championship then lets compare Antman moves & athleticism to Kobe & MJ.

Good edit 👏

Great video mash up! This is forsure spot on. They're on the same frequency, and you see how AE is taking full control to showcase his talent by any means.

The original still looks smoother and better.

Ant or nobody ever has done a triple clutch layup.

Anthony Edwards turned the T'wolves into a playoff contender he's a franchise player NOT Townes.. Anthony makes the game worth watching , Dynamic as hell and reminds me of Lindor of the NYM; Edwards is always smiling

Ant taking over the playoffs. But he needs to do this for 10 more years to be hearing these comparisons. And he knows that. He’s very humble. I can’t wait to see what he does.

Stop comparing anyone to MJ damn shit is tired. He’s his own man with his own legacy and destiny to fulfill

Wow. Great cuts man. Love it.

MJ 's moves are sooo smoooth😊😊😊

"He's my son."

The layup still gives me chills 🥶

He Is the next

Thank you for putting these together!

Point one: Edwards is only a year older than a rookie Jordan so a bit early. Point two: as of 2024 Jordan’s game is more beautiful to look at imo, more fluid and powerful in terms of pure aesthetics

i could watch these all day! I hope he stays healthy. He's fun to watch.

That editing is really good kobe stole mj move now the ant who next🤣

even after all these years, jordan still maintaints teh stand of time. he is amazing. still would be a top 5 athlete in todays league if not top without all of the sports medicine

Enough already...this all of a sudden became everyone's favorite thing to mindlessly say. Edwards is good...he's not even in Jordan's stratosphere yet. Ridiculous 😂

GREAT compilation!

Except the difference is ant has less vert smaller hands to grip the ball (you see he does a similar play to mj at 0:07 but he has to secure the ball with his other hand) and and is shorter you could say he has better handles and probably three point shooting he’s very similar to mj but he’s not a perfect replica and I’m sure he doesn’t want to be either

Michael Jordan had an extraordinary hang time while airborne after jumping.

He looks nothing like MJ I’m sorry. Best in the league yea but MJ is too pretty

Wow 🤯 impossible not to make the comparison. Hopefully it continues 🤞

None of these guys seem to create their own thing, they gotta do the jordan shrug. That's who you know is the goat. The most obvious difference is one of them is Michael Jordan, and the other puts up numbers more like Kendall Gill if Kendall Gill jacked up 6-7 3-point shots a game. But in Edwards' defense, he does consistently hit 35%, and the math on that says you'd rather have him shoot that shot at 35% than a 2-point shot at 45%.

Jordan himself said he saw similarities in him and Edwards game.

You cannot compare an original to a copy.

Modern kids : hes just like jordan because offense Huh ? Who fears him on defense ? Who fears him in the 4th quarter even if he been shooting like trash all game ? Does he deflect shots, intercept passes, take charges, grab cruicial offensive boards, block guards his position, body up and play physical, reset a broken play with patience, play acording to his coach scheme, make the best passes and barely turn he ball over while never wasting a movement on offense all in the same game while chewing on the same peice of gum?? Nah ... Cut it out.

he’s his own person but you can tell he studied MJ, little bro vibes 🔥

Crazy how these plays are basically exact, well put together vid !!!

MJ→ KB→ AE

Man this vid gave me goosebumps. The similarities are really there.

Jordan's fake and fade away is 10 times faster than Anthony's. 😂

Wait until he's 25. He's only 22 now. The best of Edwards has yet to be seen.

Jordan had a seven inch higher vertical which is crazy to think about

MJ just so much more fluid

They really tried to compare MJ triple switch in the air in this video 🤣

One of the few comparisons that actually works. Of course we can’t suggest that he will be as great as MJ, but the talent, the body control, the intensity is definitely there.

MJ, often imitated, but never duplicated

Bro was quiet playing in the Olympics vs Serbia, almost lost, he was flat. No where near Jordan

I think this shows why they're not compared

It’s crazy how crisp Mike was in comparison 💪🏾

anthony edwards should try rock the cradle dunk

i had never seen these plays before, now i don’t have any doubt

Jordan's hangtime was next level

Look just like Goat said in 86 please don't compare me to any Legends because I haven't earned to be compared to Legends until Bulls has multiple championships respect.

He even has the calf sleeve and elbow band in the same areas as MJ 😭 🔥

Jordan skills still hold up today

Like father, like son!

Scariest thing about todays time you have players like Anthony Edwards so young who can study the greats and these youngins are way more smarter then we are coming up they have the best potential to ability ratio due to the golden age we’re in

Amazing to me how Jordan always looks so much more on-balance, fluid, and effortless than even other world-class level players. There was also this game of HORSE he played with a young Mike Finley in 1993 (Finley was one of the best college players in the nation at the time), and they do a couple of fancy layups, and Jordan's was just waaay more fluid and effortlessly athletic.

History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.

Longevity is where this comparison can make sense but he's a fundamental player big time

Jordan looks like he is floating in the air, Ant does not quite look the same. Moreover, Jordan looks like is significantly longer. Nonetheless, Ant is easily becoming my favorite player.

Can't say if he reached the same level as MJ but glad to see this playing style again.

If I were to create a scoring guard model in a video game, considering attributes like height, wingspan, speed, jumping ability, hand size, and etc., I'd end up modeling it after MJ. He's just the perfect template for a scoring guard. AE is very good, just let this young guy play, and let's see where he can get.

Wow great video!

In the year 2000s, Ant's mother met MJ at a carnival at Atlantic City where MJ was betting huge amounts on the toss the rings, penny toss, milk bottle throw, and spin the wheel for a kiss. Ant's mother was working at the hot dog stall and that's when baby Ant came along. Also thats why their style is similar.

What a montage ! Insane souvenir.

His moves are great. But MJ’s flair, big hands, and hang time is something different. Ant’s got the hop but not the hang time and the ability to contort mid air.

Mj 10x more pretty. Doesnt travel every x he touches the ball.

Jordan fly longer, but AE is my fav player atm

man MJs game is just timeless. I can easily see him playing in today’s NBA

We still tryna find the next MJ, but Ant ain’t him. Kobe was him. Ant is different

It's unbelievable that you were able to find get these comparisons.

I thought it was a ridiculous comparison but watching anthony play I definitely see it.

Funny comparison 😂

First time wacthin him play last night in game 7 and it gave me the chills

Very similar style of play and the way they carry themselves is a lot a like also I won't be surprised if anthony Edward's stays healthy that he will very easily be one of the next guys to be the face of the league

That is also the reason why he became boastful and thought he is the best! Next Jordan my ass!

He plays like a 28 year old Jordan. Jordan at 22 was INSANE and there will NEVER be another. But I’ll admit he’s definitely cut from Jordan’s cloth.

There's no way that some dude who plays ball now looks like a guy who came before him especially when it's famous as Jordan? This man is a legit baller and on his way to being one of the best. Quit putting on Fair stigmas on the man's name and let him be himself. There's only one Mike. only one Kobe. one Timmy. one Shaq... etc

Everybody arguing about the goat debate Me: those edits tho 🎬

There should be a video with Kobe, MJ and Ant doing the exact same shots.

He's like a recarnation of Jordan both had elite defense on their teams both look alike & play alike

Like Mark from Invincible, he unlocked his latent abilities from his Dad

miss Kobe.

This is the man that going to make everyone forget about LeFlop, thank God

Edwards contact dunked from the free throw line😳

_"I'm so proud of you, son. Even if I can't say so publicly. And don't wear those MFing Adidas in my house..."_ - MJ
