andl Consider broadly NBA GOAT, Michael Jordanstill has huge appeal in the modern era, and his words have a big impact on what happens in the league, so usually when Jordan spoke, and the media and fans listened.
One of the players that has been receiving attention recently is the team’s defender. Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards during Monday’s game against the Utah Jazzcompleted a wonderful dunk that many people compared to “Your Majesty”.
Michael Jordan himself didn’t ignore Edwards’ dunk and his game, as during an appearance on Fox Sports’ First Things First, panelist Chris Broussard mentioned that he spoke with Michael Jordan, telling He “does have similarities” between him and Anthony Edwards.
I was talking to the GOAT today and Jordan said there were similarities in both of their games. He agreed, so if Jordan said there were similarities, there were.
This isn’t the first time he’s been compared to MJ
Former Timberwolves and Celtics power forward Kevin Garnett has compared Edwards to Michael Jordan, with Garnett noting in February that Edwards reminded him of a young MJ during the 1984 season.
Edwards himself told KG, “They have to take the case personally with the GOAT,” which he apparently answered, so Michael Jordan himself acknowledged it.
