That's how they won consecutive rings. Jordan was insatiable. The Nuggets don't have a player like that. The coach is, but he's not (supposed to be) on the court.
As I watch the rest of Ant-man's career his interview w/SVP from last week will always stick in my mind. He said about the Suns: "I'm coming out to kill everyone..." 😳😳 He ain't playin'! That's the kinda energy Kobe always had & I love it
Ant is a super young player. I lived in Chicago when MJ got his first 3-peat. I have never seen a better basketball player before, during, or after Jordan's reign. He remains at the top of the mountain. Ant has a very long way to go.
No shit. The comparison is about play style and competitive drive. And comparing him to Jordan in his early 20's. Duh it's obvious Ant doesn't have 6 rings lol. How is this so difficult?
in a game 2 round 2 while having a 5-0 playoff record and gauranteed at least a split in Denver coming home Friday. now he has only 5 games of play off wear on his body and Jokic/Gordan have 7 games of play off wear on theirs. Including that 48 minute Road Warrior Squash Match they went thru last nite. Good for Rudy, and it happened at the PERFECT spot in the playoffs too.
Let's see players compared to MJ... Harold Miner, Ron Harper, Jerry Stackhouse, Anfernee Hardaway, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, Kobe... Can we please stop this now? Let him be the first Ant.
@@JM-qn3tf How are those Silly? That's literally what happened with all those player's coming out of college, HS. Just because you either weren't born, or not bright enough to remember it doesn't change History
AE is cut from the same cloth as MJ and Kobe. There's only one MJ because he was the First, the Archetype. Everyone who has played basketball has tried to emulate him to one degree or another, beginning with Kobe, Vince etc. But even being mentioned in the same sentence with MJ says it all.
@@JM-qn3tf always someone has to add something that has nothing to do with the conversation. Give your opinion if you have one and get off my nutz gommer.
Think Nuggets get Game 3 (the proverbial "backs-against-wall" scenario for defending champs). No one...not even you, had Wolves going 2-0. Shocking development.
Ant's got a lot to prove still, but his play early on is comparable to Jordan's early on. If you take into account that Ant is playing next to KAT, who is better offensively than many #1 options on offense.
No D Wade - Ant is much more explosive and does absolutely everything on the court. This dude is absolutely slaughtering HOF players and MVPs; Booker, KD, Jokic and Murray he is gutting them at age 22. If he leads the Wolves to a title at this young age it is something not seen before. The closest comparison would be Magic.
@@Ab-iz9uv you’re wrong and not a good judge of reality. Ant is a much better finisher at the rim and far better 3 point shooter. Wade was all mid range game with an occasional drive to the rim or post up.
For the nuggets it’s no longer about winning , it’s about fighting back punching back , the refs gonna let this game get physical the nuggets need to not only match and hit harder, the refs letting this get way to physical people gonna get hurt or fights gonna start happening
I agree the next generation are here. Lebron has to know now when his last season is and declare it. Be like Ray Lewis and retire a winner with the support of your team.
@@TH-camCensors Not to mention when they allow playing tough defense. As fans you get to see which players is genuine unstoppable. Best offense players needed spectacular moves like what ANT is showing. When everyone is allowed to shoot open 3s , you cant see any difference everyone is a scorer LOL.
The Ant man ain't no Michael Jordan. Edwards is not a good passer either just a bruiser with a ton of verticality. But he has soooooo much to prove before any remote comparisons to Air Jordan should be made. Ant talks lots of smack and the Wolves are winning but everybody should tap the brakes about over the top praising of Ant man. Far too early.
They're saying that the players have similar playing styles. Not who is better or not. Edward's career just got started. But when he plays he reminds people of Jordan and kobe. It's not difficult to understand bro.
It’s MJ, when watch Ant man you see MJ game period. Get outta here with that D Wade stuff. D Wade never could shot like MJ and Ant. MJ himself acknowledged Ant plays like him.
@@mrfreeandclear970 And MJ does many other things better than Ant lol. But your incorrect, MJ didn’t have all the 3pt attempts. It well documented, MJ explained why he didn’t shoot many 3s. But I get it yal love to throw any kind of shade you can lol. MJ 3pt percentage (32.7) is literally the same as Kobe’s (32.8) and nobody ever says Kobe couldn’t shoot 3s. That wasn’t the mind set in MJs era, taking a lot of 3s was looked at as soft and not efficient. In today’s era the 3pt shot is the go to and the main focus. MJ was elite in both ends, 10x scoring champ and 9x all defensive/DPOY. Ant has a long way to go lol. Ant mans 3pt percentage this season is 35.7, so let’s not act like he’s Ray Allen.
Denver is so non athletic …big and slow….typical of this league today…Edward’s is old school…he plays 94 ft…both ways…offense and defense…after he does it for 10 yrs then talk about Jordan
This is how clever Ant is. He downplays being compared to Jordan and then shrugs like Mike in the game the same day.
lol
Anthony edwards will be the best player on team usa
Nobody even knew how to shrug, or what a shrug was until Jordan.
The Jordan comparison is more about the competitive drive and leadership - not merely play style.
That's how they won consecutive rings. Jordan was insatiable. The Nuggets don't have a player like that. The coach is, but he's not (supposed to be) on the court.
im totally cool with just watching him for the aesthetics, success and a legacy is only a plus for me
Ant's play style is much closer to Jordan/Kobe than Wade. The superior athleticism, midrange fades, superior dunks, driving ability, etc...
As I watch the rest of Ant-man's career his interview w/SVP from last week will always stick in my mind. He said about the Suns: "I'm coming out to kill everyone..." 😳😳 He ain't playin'! That's the kinda energy Kobe always had & I love it

It isn't. People are just excited.
screw the success, i just want to see the playstyle.
80's Jordan was a different animal but Edward's has flashes
Definitely a changing of the guard in the NBA.
That was a great game
Rudy gobert missed the game for the birth of his FIRST child..not A child..cmon Dan you’re better than that

First, second, third...I doesn't make any difference really. If you can be there, you should. Life is precious.

Jamal and Jokic looked old for sure, just a tad slower than the Timberwolves.
Nikola Jokic is 29 not 27
Lol how you run a podcast and not take your job seriously, dude if I had a podcast, I literally would know every key player and what they're good at
Ant definitely is the coming of Jordan. D wade is a understatement
I agree, complete understatement
You forget how good Wade was.

Denver had a better bench last year. I concur
Call him by his full name Anthonigga Edward Jordan. His game is 92-93 94-96 Jordan, not Wade.
I beleive all four teams left in the west are better than the Celtics and the rest of the East. I don't see anything but a meteor strike stopping Ant.
Timberwolves Win Game 3 💯
i think so. especially since theyre back in minnesota.
Think Nuggets get Game 3 (the proverbial "backs-against-wall" scenario for defending champs).
No one...not even you, had Wolves going 2-0.
Shocking development.
@@20SchmidtMurray still might be suspended. That would definitely be a feat. Especially with how the series is going
@@20Schmidt a strong 2-0 at that. they blew them out completely. wasn't even a contest.
@@hitman9198 im thinking we'll hear more about that today. he'll probably get a 1 game suspension.
History doesn’t repeat. It echos. Ant has the potential to be the next Kobe/Jordon. And the league is moving back to physical play and I’m all for it.
Ant wants to end it quick
Easy sweep..
Defense wins the game
Doubt it.
Would've you said that BEFORE series?
Dont think so.
DEN grabs Game 3 to get back in this.
@@20Schmidt did after game 1
Ant is more talented than Dwayne Wade was
Ant's got a lot to prove still, but his play early on is comparable to Jordan's early on. If you take into account that Ant is playing next to KAT, who is better offensively than many #1 options on offense.

Anthony Edwards is 22. Larry Bird was 23 for his rookie year.
Bro are you watching him? He has MJ moves and the MJ killer mentality. We need fresh voices here… these stale ass takes we get from these clowns
Joker isn't going to take this laying down. He can rachet up the mean in his game. Might be the first nba player to foul out on 5 charges.
Nice reminder why the 80 point tough games where fun to watch in 90s, 2000s.
This new 3 point league with an MVP who cant jump. I dont find it fun.
Exactly, I wish we returned to man defense, no zone
I'm sick of 3 s and hardly any great rim finishes

I still think Nuggets win in 7
Wemby should be DPOY
Nah, Rudy is so good he’s instilled the love of defense in the Wolves getting them to obliterate the McNuggies even without him
