| Video Discription | Anthony Edwards is doing something unbelievable. In the modern NBA where stars want to play the least amount of games possible, we have a young star near the top of the NBA making no excuses, wanting to compete against the best players, playing both sides of the ball , an homage to the NBA of the old. You’ve heard the comparison a million times at this point, that Anthony Edwards is the next Michael Jordan and for obvious reasons, but some things are getting swept under the rug. Like Ant said, he wants the comparisons to stop, but Anthony Edwards is different in some key ways, let me rephrase, he’s actually better than Jordan in some key ways. By the end of the series, Durant said that Ant is his favorite player to watch. Two greats acknowledging the next up. And what we’re seeing now actually hasn’t been done. If we look at the best playoff games from players 22 and and put them on a chart, you’ll see familiar names, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, heck we know how crazy Luka went in the playoffs a few years ago. And at the top of the list is Kobe Bryant, and Anthony Edwards? He’s just in the top 11, 3 times. There is no player that shows up more than twice in the top 20 besides Antman. These are not one off performances. He’s starting to do it consistently already. And here’s Michael Jordan, oh wait he hadn’t made the playoffs yet cause he got drafted as a 22 year old. But while we see the barking Anthony Edwards now, **he was always different from his peers.** And that’s piece #1. Anthony Edwards has always been like this, he just stayed true to himself, even when it wasn’t technically the best move for his career. Anthony Edwards has been unapologetically himself, even at the expense of his image at times. While everyone is hailing him now, back then people thought he wasn’t serious and that could be a problem. That’s why he wants to play as much as possible, he wants to play against the best, and kill them. The elusive…killer mentality… we talk about. Anthony Edwards might do that, yet his values are a bit different. But it’s not just his individual success that he believes in. And that’s piece #2, Anthony Edwards wants to be the best but it’s not limited to himself, nor does he need the credit, and that puts him one step ahead of MJ. Anthony Edwards’ ego isn’t to show he’s better than the people around him, no he’s invested in their success without forcing them. He believes in his teammates, maybe even more than they do. Something that even Jordan couldn’t figure out. Most teammates of Jordan have spoken out on his ruthlessness. Yes he got a great deal out of his teammates and he led by example, but several walked away resenting leadership, or in a lot of cases, not being able keep up. It’s not a style that works with everyone and Jordan didn’t figure out how to lead until he lost to the Pistons in 1990, 6 years into the league at 26 years old when he figured out he needs his teammates to excel to win. And it’s not a facade either, remember Anthony Edward’s reaction to the Suns getting Kevin Durant? Edwards motivates the team to be better, to believe that they are better. The Timberwolves are the best defensive team in the NBA because of Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, good team defense, but don’t get it twisted, Anthony Edwards wants to guard the best player and he does. Something that more stars in the 90s and 2000s did, before offense became the only requisite to being a superstar. It’s a lead by example case that motivates every player to do it more. No excuse if your best player is spending the energy to lock up defensively. **The more and more I looked into Anthony Edwards, the more I found myself reminded of 90s,** 2000s basketball. Yes there have always been egos, and yes, players are selfish in any era, but the desire to compete and win being the only thing that matters before social media, before the big player deals, before Adam Silver took over, is something that we all miss now. In 2003, the average number of games played by all stars was 79. Last year the average was 64. Edwards played 79 games this year, 78 games last season, he hasn’t played less than 70 games in his 4 seasons. And so stop the comparisons of Anthony Edwards with MJ. He already knows how to lead in a way to encourages chemistry and not forces it. There’s a level of trust knowing Ant isn’t scheming or manipulating, he just tells it how it is. **I haven’t been this excited about a young player in the past decade** because he embodies everything that I think the game is missing now. |
