To be fair on your first 3 seasons point. Michael Jordan was 24/25 in his third season, while Ant is only 22. Jordan was a lot closer to his prime than ant is in his third season
You’ll realise this the more you watch jxmy, good videos, well produced, but he just omits obvious nuances to fit certain things hes trying to say in each video
@luizansounds what. Noone compares anyone to Pele. Pele played in a joke era of football. People get compated to Messi/Ronaldo. With Maradona one of the few classics that matter in a comparison. Pele for football is not like MJ is for basketball. It isn't even close.
@@littyagain9402 I wouldn't even give him that. Pele played in Brazil against no talent amateurs. At least wilt did it in the hardest league. Johan Cruijf was much better and actually impact football and changed the game. Pele is extremely overrated. Yes he was great for his time and definitely better than his own league but he didn't have the impact MJ, Magic Johnson, Cruijf, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi and Maradona had on the sport.
As a person who has lived in Minnesota my whole life and has been tortured by our awful sports franchises, ANT is the guy who can bring Minnesota not only it’s first basketball chip but it’s first championship since the twins won the World Series back in 1991.
Please NO. Every time this dude has made a video hyping up a team these playoffs, they throw away the next round, and I’m routing for the Mavs in the finals
Nvm y’all can we get a video on how historically dominant the Celtics have been this postseason, I think it would be really interesting to hear about. Jxmy, if you’re reading this, you should make a quick vid of your thoughts on it, preferably before game 4 starts. No reason in particular
Every time jimmy makes a video on someone they play bad, he did one of Murray and they lose 2 in a row, he does one on ant and now he played his worst , the new jxmmycurse is becoming truer by the day
Fun fact about Harold Minor/Michael Jordan: One of the sets of basketball cards I used to collect when I was a little boy had Harold Minor's rookie card (I think it was 1994 Upper Deck). On that rookie card, they had a picture of Minor in the background shooting a Jordan-esque fade away over the player in the foreground guarding him... Michael Jordan. There was a time when that card was the second most valuable card in the main set simply because it had Michael Jordan on the card. That was how much we all loved MJ. He was so good that when Iverson crossed him up and made him look uh, human for ONE play, that was the biggest news story in the NBA for a whole week.
Great video. I'm 43, and I want to confirm the gut feeling part. Indeed, watching Anthony Edwards sometimes gives you the same magical chills with that MJ feeling. Kobe, LeBron, and others, like 2019 Kawhi, offered some comparably admirable moments, but never that Jordan electrifying feeling. I wish Anthony continues on this path so today's teenagers can live a similarly exciting and enthusiastic era with the MJ "I wanna be like Mike" one in the following years.
I wish Vince was able to live up to the comparisons. He was so fun to watch early on in his career and his time in Toronto really got a lot of people to start playing the sport.
Vince left alot on the table. Dude had all the physical tools but it just felt like he didn't have that extra gear or drive to reach the top. Great talent but sometimes I feel like he could've done a lot more.
It's cool, but the Curry Craze of the last 10 yrs has made people forget about the "heir apparent" craze that was gripping the NBA in late90s and early 00s. He just stands out today because the emphasis on the type of players the league was looking for changed; fewer athletes and bigs now in favor of more shooters. Ant would have fit right in the early '00s next to Finley, J Richardson and Jerry Stackhohuse. Not a Kobe, but enough "like Mike" to be in that convo.
Mj rookie season age 21-22: 28ppg 5.9 assists 6.5 rebounds 2.4 steals Anthony edwards this season age 21-22: 25.9ppg 5.1 assists 5.4 rebounds 1.3 steals
At just 22 years old, he's competing in a league that's arguably more competitive than the one Michael Jordan faced. Let's not forget, even Jordan experienced significant challenges before embarking on his legendary six-title run. In fact, Jordan lost 359 games before😂 capturing his first NBA championship. This young talent has plenty of time to overcome obstacles and etch his name in basketball history.
Luka Dončić’s performance highlights the intense competition today. Edwards has the time and talent to make his mark in basketball history. Plus, I dont hear people comparing Luka to Jordan. ANT is in the conversation for a reason.
@raymesagini6684 I don't think anyone is denying that Edwards is one of the best players in the league and is going to down as one of the greats. He just isn't going to be GOAT level like MJ. I think the main reason people don't compare Luka to MJ is because they don't really have a similar playstyles. Luka is not exactly the most athletic, high- flying player you know.

Underrated part of Mike's game is that he was, quite literally, NEVER bad. The most consistent athlete maybe ever? In his 13 years with the Bulls MJ scored 10 or fewer points twice. That's 2 games out of 930. One of those games was coming back from the broken foot, the other was a blowout win against the Hawks in '97 where he played 3 quarters. He only scored under 20 pts in a playoff game 6 times and 3 of those were blowout wins when he didn't play the whole game. If you look at his game logs on Basketball Ref it's stupid.
Mj was insane. Mj in 13 year with the Bulls cant be topped i really dont believe so. 6 rings 6 fmvps 5 regular season mvps 10 scoring titles 9 first team defense 1 DPOY 3 steals titles 2 3 peat 6-0 never going to a game 7 in the finals highest PPG average ever in NBA history in the regular season and in the playoff 3 all star mvps back to back season with over 200 steals and 100 blocks 2 time dunk champ 11-0 in overall finals 6-0 NBA 2-0 Olympics 2-0 FIBA 1-0 NCAA Ant has already lost in the FIBA. Mj was just to good so the best you can do in my opinion in be second best like Kobe Lebron Kareem and Wilt is fighting for but Mj is number 1 and Ant can maybe end up in the top 20 or top 10 but i dont believe he will ever be over Mike
Considering a " bad game " by watching only points is crazy. Put 22 points by shooting 5/19 is a bad game for a superstar. Jordan had this kind of game
@@deejaaylook at kawhi dunks and tell me that’s not high impact just because he doesn’t scream like ant doesn’t mean there not crazy dunks. He’s also the closest to Mike physically the arm length, the strength, and especially the hands which he failed to mention cause it wouldn’t have fit his narrative
Indeed, Kawhi is the most fundamentally sound player of the last 15 years... and those H A N D S. If it weren't for his damned knee, he'd have 3-5 rings and we'd all be watching completely different videos.
@@salacommander2674cheek bone angle is slightly different, but like everything else is so damn close it's ridiculous. He probably picked one of worst angles to view them at (I think they look way more alike head on vs the profile he showed) and they still look very similar lol. Like he straight up looks like what you would imagine a kid of MJ's would look like. Shit, he looks more like MJ than his actual sons do lol.
These videos.... I really appreciate your effort, that is absolutely great journalism. No bs, no choosing sides, but pure information, facts and analysis. Bless you dude. You are a gift to Nba fans.
A thought: I love these videos and always watch them, and the quality of your output has been one of the things that turned me from a 'I wonder how Wemby did last night' guy to someone who's taken a broader interest in the league. But please ditch the sponsorships from gambling companies. You have, deservedly, 2.5m subs and only 2 videos in the last two years have earned fewer than a million views. You earn enough to not shill for some of the worst people on earth. Please let us enjoy these videos without them being tainted in this way.
I get the similarity between Ant and MJ, but there is a big difference: exuberance. Ant is exuberant, he boils over, brings in a huge energy, talks trash as if he's on a street court. MJ did not do that. His energy was channeled into his game, destroying his opponents and winning the games. He was expressive and showed his confidence, but with Ant you think "Yeah, he's up for it, he ballin'!" with a fist pump. With MJ it was more like "He's in the zone, they are screwed" and then you just give a resigned shrug/smile combo. The energy is different. With Ant, as an opponent, it is "Here he comes" while getting ready. With MJ it was "Here I go..." while thinking about shower. Ant is amazing, but the mentality is what is missing. MJ was never just about his skills. It was his mentality. It is what made him unique, his decision to bend a game, a series and a championship to his will. Ant does not have that yet. Maybe will not have it to the same extent (Lebron and Kobe didn't). Let's just appreciate Ant for who he is. He is fun. Leave it at that.
If the word of a 42 years old life long basketball fan who watched in awe of Michael Jordan's greatness, means anything, Anthony Edward's is the closest I've seen since. This kid is special. I said it 2 years ago actually.
@@bhavjottung5398I think young Kobe is pretty damn close, but as he got older it felt like he was less like MJ and more just his own guy. Like #8 was closer to #23 than #24 was (and that's largely due to the fact that Kobe's explosiveness really was no longer elite by his late 20s, while MJ kept most of it pretty much all the way until 98). 2001-2006 Kobe was pretty close to MJ, but even by 2007 you could see some of that explosiveness go away from Kobe (he was a very good athlete, but not freakish by NBA standards).
As a 37 year old, the way I FEEL watching Ant is the most similar to how I felt watching MJ. I don't know how to describe it accurately, words like electrifying, fearless, and confidence inspiring comes to mind. You also get the feeling that he literally wants to kill you out there on the court, that ultra competitiveness is there.
As a Jordan fan in the 90s, and a Nuggets fan today, I can imagine I get to experience the same thing from the opposing side. Every time AE gets the ball, I am terrified.
@Iso_SSB I like your attitude, but that's not possible in this day and age. It's a requirement to talk bad about one player in order to make the case for another. And if someone disagrees with you, you call them a hater and say they don't know ball fr.
I’ve never seen a player so closely resemble MJ. Kobe was close but this dude is spot on, from his backdown fade to his smile. He’ll easily be the face of the league.
Also people forget Jordan was almost 22 when he came into the league. So remember the comparison is not to a 28 year old that won that 1st championship. He is like Mike in his early years before the playoff runs and accolades.
MJ was already a DPOY MVP in his technically 3rd complete season in the league from a back-to-back 200+stls/100+ blcks, 37.1/35 pt seasons.. Dropped 63 on the goat Celtics team off a foot injury in his sophomore year. He was the same age as Ant. And the point record still stands despite the scoring inflation.
I’m 21 years old unfortunately never watched Jordan play but he was my dad’s favorite player, he has always said Kobe was the closest player to MJ and now him watching Anthony Edwards gives him nostalgia😂
I say this with all good intention. You make great videos about basketball and I love watching and have for a long time. I do however hope you are very in touch with your audience in terms of average age of your viewers. With no numbers to back it up I would assume it is mostly young males. The damage being done by the over advertising of these sports betting companies is absolutely insurmountable and infinite. It’s like if they started advertising crack on street poles in areas with large amounts of homeless people. It’s sickening to really look at the impact this is having right now and going to have on the next generation. I hope you see this and put some thought into what money drives you to do. Legal or illegal, paid well or poorly; addiction is what is being advertised.
I think it's a decent way to tell who is a good person (wouldn't do ads for shitty companies etc) and which "influencers" are on the precipice (or completely there) of sociopathic behaviours. Everybody and anybody doing it either isn't aware or they're a bag of shit (or both) as far as I'm concerned. But also 'Muricah. Gotta mke that coin boyyyyy, fuck everyone else.. Right..?
Judging by how this one aged I would prefer he waits till the Mavs are 3:0 or they are already in the finals 🤣 Jimmy curse is real, look at the Phoenix finals vs the Bucs when they were 2:0 them boys went 0:4 after that 🤣
@JxmyHighroller you should make a video about how you exaggerated both Jamal Murray and Anthony Edwards where Jamal is out of the playoffs and Ant about to, it'll be a fun one
I’ve never commented but its been 3 weeks Jimmy is either cooking up the biggest banger in channel history or this years playoffs has officially made him lose his mind.
@@mmmuck He also was no a much worse team playing against 5 hall of famers and a lot of all stars. Ant has way more help and is only playing against 1 all star and is about to lose in 6 on worse numbers than Mj
@@jorgemartinez-s7b Ant got 4 dpoy and another first pick and 6 man of the year and the Timberwolves finish 3th in the west Mj didnt have that kind of help but let see if Ant can be like Mike and win 6 rings and be 6-0 in the finals and have 6 fmvps and 10 scoring titles and be 9 first team defense and win 2 3 peat and never go to a game 7 in the finals or win 5 regular season mvps or win 3 steals titles and 2 dunk titles and 2 Olympics and 2 Fiba he already has lost 1 or have 6 seasons with over 200 steals and 2 seasons with over 100 blocks or have the highest PPG average in NBA history in the regular season and in the playoff and play 82 games 9 times or average 35 PPg while being DPOY like Mike did in 1988 or win 3 all star mvps. Ant has a loooooong way to go to be anything close to Mike
I was born in 85 so I idolized MJ and watched him play. It was something I have yet to see since. My dad and I were talking the wolves play the other night and we both said that was an MJ move.
I don't see you talk about the jump shot, we all love how amazing Jordan's air time is, we don't call him "HIS AIRNESS" for no reason, but in my opinion it is Jordan's ability to tie together the athleticism to the fundamentals that makes him great, and the most powerful weapon in that arsenal is his jump shot, and AE has such a similar jump shot, and most importantly, everything that they do leading to that jump shot.
In my opinion what made MJ the GOAT was that he made things different and that changed the game forever. Before him, the NBA was like watching a wrestling match. He brought speed and dexterity, The next GOAT was Curry, who brought range and efficiency. And now Joker, is teaching us that playing as a team is better than having the best player. Edwards, Kobe, Carter, Lebron, great players no doubt about it, but they would never bring something knew to the game, nor change the way it is play, that's why they would forever be followers or imitators not GOATS
I’ll say it again and again, and again. Jxmmy higheroller is the GOAT of basketball ball content on YT everyone’s trying to copy him and everyone fails, jimmy, you are the people’s GOAT
Can you make a video on Caitlin Clark? How she’s changing WBB, her college and WNBA career, including the fame and the jealousy coming from the vets. I really enjoy your channel and I feel like you would do the topic justice. Thank you!
This man really disappeared so he wouldn't jinx it again. First it was "The Pistons were the worst sports team ever" ended the regular season with a better record than the Wizards and Luka absolutely torturing the best defense in 5 😂
There's a reason big companies don't hire youtubers to analyse the game. They don't know what the fuck they're talking about (like James Lowroller over here)
I loved the point about watching a guy who loves the game as much as we do. Pair that with the charisma, trash-talk, and crazy athleticism, it's everything you want to watch as a fan.
To be fair Jordan was 22 when he came into the League and Ant is 22 right now. Comparisons should begin by age not when entering the league imo. I'm excited to so see where it goes from here
This is all spot on. I think the MJ comparisons come from people really wanting to see a modern version of Jordan. The kids wanna see what the hype is about and the elders wanna have a star they can rally for again. Everybody wants to know what it would look like if Jordan had to play against today's schemes and stars, and from the looks of this video it's been that way since he retired.

The disrespect is crazy, Kawhi has an endless amount of crazy poster dunks and insane blacks. Wtf is he even talking about?
@@DaSpaceJammer He's dunking. But, not high impact dunks like Ant.
@@deejaaylook at kawhi dunks and tell me that’s not high impact just because he doesn’t scream like ant doesn’t mean there not crazy dunks. He’s also the closest to Mike physically the arm length, the strength, and especially the hands which he failed to mention cause it wouldn’t have fit his narrative
yea i dont think he even watches kawhi
Indeed, Kawhi is the most fundamentally sound player of the last 15 years... and those H A N D S.
If it weren't for his damned knee, he'd have 3-5 rings and we'd all be watching completely different videos.
Jxmy posted. Everything stops for 16 minutes and 33 seconds. Feels like a film every time 💎
Props to your extremely good researched and highest quality videos 💜💜💜 AND THAT FOR YEARS, NOW!!! True greatness 👑👑👑
I hate feeling like an addict when Jimmy uploads 😭
you glazing hard. relax
"some fans are saying he even looks like MJ, which he doesn't" shows side by side photo of MJ
like be for real bro, looks just like em
He has the exact same facial structure lmao. Not quite as lanky as MJ though
A combination of KD and Jordan is what I see lol
@@salacommander2674cheek bone angle is slightly different, but like everything else is so damn close it's ridiculous. He probably picked one of worst angles to view them at (I think they look way more alike head on vs the profile he showed) and they still look very similar lol.
Like he straight up looks like what you would imagine a kid of MJ's would look like. Shit, he looks more like MJ than his actual sons do lol.
😂😂😂
These videos.... I really appreciate your effort, that is absolutely great journalism. No bs, no choosing sides, but pure information, facts and analysis. Bless you dude. You are a gift to Nba fans.
A thought: I love these videos and always watch them, and the quality of your output has been one of the things that turned me from a 'I wonder how Wemby did last night' guy to someone who's taken a broader interest in the league. But please ditch the sponsorships from gambling companies. You have, deservedly, 2.5m subs and only 2 videos in the last two years have earned fewer than a million views. You earn enough to not shill for some of the worst people on earth. Please let us enjoy these videos without them being tainted in this way.
It's the killer instinct. Even when Ant loses he's like I'm going to murder you next game.
Send da video
So that makes him Jordan?? These comparisons have to stop
@templr44_ so only two players out the whole history of the league ever did this?? So what about the other players that did this are they MJ too??
@templr44_is Kobe mj? No. Bird? No. Kd? No. Wade? No. Ginobli? No. These are the closest players to mj when it comes to killer instinct and aura.
Fr can’t fake that
I get the similarity between Ant and MJ, but there is a big difference: exuberance. Ant is exuberant, he boils over, brings in a huge energy, talks trash as if he's on a street court. MJ did not do that. His energy was channeled into his game, destroying his opponents and winning the games. He was expressive and showed his confidence, but with Ant you think "Yeah, he's up for it, he ballin'!" with a fist pump. With MJ it was more like "He's in the zone, they are screwed" and then you just give a resigned shrug/smile combo. The energy is different. With Ant, as an opponent, it is "Here he comes" while getting ready. With MJ it was "Here I go..." while thinking about shower.
Ant is amazing, but the mentality is what is missing. MJ was never just about his skills. It was his mentality. It is what made him unique, his decision to bend a game, a series and a championship to his will. Ant does not have that yet. Maybe will not have it to the same extent (Lebron and Kobe didn't).
Let's just appreciate Ant for who he is. He is fun. Leave it at that.
Well put! He yaps way too much for my liking. Idk why American culture loves glorifying cockiness
If the word of a 42 years old life long basketball fan who watched in awe of Michael Jordan's greatness, means anything, Anthony Edward's is the closest I've seen since. This kid is special. I said it 2 years ago actually.
You had me by a year
what about kobe
@@bhavjottung5398I think young Kobe is pretty damn close, but as he got older it felt like he was less like MJ and more just his own guy.
Like #8 was closer to #23 than #24 was (and that's largely due to the fact that Kobe's explosiveness really was no longer elite by his late 20s, while MJ kept most of it pretty much all the way until 98).
2001-2006 Kobe was pretty close to MJ, but even by 2007 you could see some of that explosiveness go away from Kobe (he was a very good athlete, but not freakish by NBA standards).
As a 37 year old, the way I FEEL watching Ant is the most similar to how I felt watching MJ. I don't know how to describe it accurately, words like electrifying, fearless, and confidence inspiring comes to mind. You also get the feeling that he literally wants to kill you out there on the court, that ultra competitiveness is there.
As a Jordan fan in the 90s, and a Nuggets fan today, I can imagine I get to experience the same thing from the opposing side. Every time AE gets the ball, I am terrified.
Even if Ant and the wolves fall to the nuggets, Anthony Edwards is HERE
just like how jordan showed up when he played the celtics in 88’ he lost the series but won the ppl. We gon see ant next year
Well, thats all nice and cute until you remember Spurs drafted an alien this season.
@@rickyricardo2006yeah wemby is most definitely here as well. We can appreciate both of them without tearing one down
As a fan of a team in the same conference as antman.... i will be lying i said i am not a little worried for the future @@Rott4n
@Iso_SSB I like your attitude, but that's not possible in this day and age. It's a requirement to talk bad about one player in order to make the case for another. And if someone disagrees with you, you call them a hater and say they don't know ball fr.
This your Michael jordan? 😂😂
Jimmy was unprepared for a Jokic 3 game masterclass and Ant dropping a huge 18 POINTS 😮
Ant is getting doubled tho and he's still only 22
@@alexanderhillier3831 He's gonna become a meme like Tatum if yall keep saying this.
@@KriiticalGaming what meme? tatum is legit only 19 what is you sayin
When Jordan was 22 he dropped a huge 19 points in the playoffs to lose the series to the Celtics.
One game doesn't destroy an entire comparison and player's career. NBA fans are mind-numbingly over reactionary.
I’ve never seen a player so closely resemble MJ. Kobe was close but this dude is spot on, from his backdown fade to his smile. He’ll easily be the face of the league.
His game 5 performance would suggest otherwise... he's got a LONG way to go!
Luka by the end of his career will be the greatest pg of all time
More like greatest player of all time
At 12:05 I literally said "this is why I fuckin love u jxmy" 😂
hurts that its a dumbass graph
Also people forget Jordan was almost 22 when he came into the league.
So remember the comparison is not to a 28 year old that won that 1st championship.
He is like Mike in his early years before the playoff runs and accolades.
MJ was already a DPOY MVP in his technically 3rd complete season in the league from a back-to-back 200+stls/100+ blcks, 37.1/35 pt seasons.. Dropped 63 on the goat Celtics team off a foot injury in his sophomore year. He was the same age as Ant. And the point record still stands despite the scoring inflation.
Chill, this is ridiculous
MJ won an NCAA title a n d Olympic gold at Ant's age... while Ant can't even podium at FIBA
@@lamefart No. MJ only averaged 28ppg as a 22 year old in the playoffs. Edwards is averaging 32 this year
I’m 21 years old unfortunately never watched Jordan play but he was my dad’s favorite player, he has always said Kobe was the closest player to MJ and now him watching Anthony Edwards gives him nostalgia😂
I say this with all good intention. You make great videos about basketball and I love watching and have for a long time. I do however hope you are very in touch with your audience in terms of average age of your viewers. With no numbers to back it up I would assume it is mostly young males. The damage being done by the over advertising of these sports betting companies is absolutely insurmountable and infinite. It’s like if they started advertising crack on street poles in areas with large amounts of homeless people. It’s sickening to really look at the impact this is having right now and going to have on the next generation. I hope you see this and put some thought into what money drives you to do. Legal or illegal, paid well or poorly; addiction is what is being advertised.
word! gambling is so underrated when it comes to dangerous addictions.
I think it's a decent way to tell who is a good person (wouldn't do ads for shitty companies etc) and which "influencers" are on the precipice (or completely there) of sociopathic behaviours. Everybody and anybody doing it either isn't aware or they're a bag of shit (or both) as far as I'm concerned. But also 'Muricah. Gotta mke that coin boyyyyy, fuck everyone else.. Right..?
Jimmy is more consistent than ever love to see it👍🏾
I can't even imagine the things Ant would do if he played in the 90s like Jordan.... he'd own those mailmen
The mailman was pretty good he was the Josh giddy of his time
He would average around 17 points
You already know he’s cooking up a video on Luka rn
Judging by how this one aged I would prefer he waits till the Mavs are 3:0 or they are already in the finals 🤣 Jimmy curse is real, look at the Phoenix finals vs the Bucs when they were 2:0 them boys went 0:4 after that 🤣
This dude has been really high on Luka for like 2 years.
@@borislavpopov2548 he even said Nuggets will win the tournament 😂
Aged like milk
U wish 😂
Jimmy never disapoints Us with his uploads
@JxmyHighroller you should make a video about how you exaggerated both Jamal Murray and Anthony Edwards where Jamal is out of the playoffs and Ant about to, it'll be a fun one
I’ve never commented but its been 3 weeks Jimmy is either cooking up the biggest banger in channel history or this years playoffs has officially made him lose his mind.
I think it’s the latter😂
Dropped this at the worst time possible jimmy 😂😂 Nuggets in 6
Jordan did not start winning championships in the playoffs his first few tries either
He did the same with Murray n now he shooting 25%😂 it’s the Jimmy curse I promise you
@@mmmuck Edwards like MJ, needs a Pippen!
@@mmmuck He also was no a much worse team playing against 5 hall of famers and a lot of all stars. Ant has way more help and is only playing against 1 all star and is about to lose in 6 on worse numbers than Mj
@@jorgemartinez-s7b Ant got 4 dpoy and another first pick and 6 man of the year and the Timberwolves finish 3th in the west Mj didnt have that kind of help but let see if Ant can be like Mike and win 6 rings and be 6-0 in the finals and have 6 fmvps and 10 scoring titles and be 9 first team defense and win 2 3 peat and never go to a game 7 in the finals or win 5 regular season mvps or win 3 steals titles and 2 dunk titles and 2 Olympics and 2 Fiba he already has lost 1 or have 6 seasons with over 200 steals and 2 seasons with over 100 blocks or have the highest PPG average in NBA history in the regular season and in the playoff and play 82 games 9 times or average 35 PPg while being DPOY like Mike did in 1988 or win 3 all star mvps. Ant has a loooooong way to go to be anything close to Mike
The thing I love about this video was it barely mentioned Bron. That's because he's never the next Jordan. He was the only LeBron James.
ant aint no mj💀
Where’s the video on my MAVERICKS AND THE RUN THEY ARE HAVING
Don't -- he'll jinx 'em
I was born in 85 so I idolized MJ and watched him play. It was something I have yet to see since. My dad and I were talking the wolves play the other night and we both said that was an MJ move.
thank u jimmy
No problem 👍🏿
Wow, we need a video for Jason Tatun, pls. Gogo Mav!
Jxmy single handedly cursing these players like drake
bros down 3-0 to luka and kyrie 😂
Kyrie and Luka are down 0-3 to Celtics. It goes both ways 😂

@JxmyHighroller, your vacation is too long already. Get back to work!
12:28 derozan not a freak athlete is crazy
in terms of playstyle and stats hes more like d wade then anything.
D Wade was like a young Mike, Kobe was the Older Mike.
12:05 New graph style!
Jimmy continues to inform and entertain perfectly
Just checking in... Everything ok there friend? 😅
Luka scored more points than wolves team in close out to end debate.
I don't see you talk about the jump shot, we all love how amazing Jordan's air time is, we don't call him "HIS AIRNESS" for no reason, but in my opinion it is Jordan's ability to tie together the athleticism to the fundamentals that makes him great, and the most powerful weapon in that arsenal is his jump shot, and AE has such a similar jump shot, and most importantly, everything that they do leading to that jump shot.
The fact that everyone was glazing the fuck out of Anthony Edwards and then he almost got swept is crazy 💀
Casual
A week later and hes about to get swept
It's truly amazing. The one team you picked the last two years, when you don't make a pick comes through. NBA math just makes no sense sometimes
Stop the cap he looks like mj 6:16
u might just be racist
The timing of this video appearing in my feed after Ant just pooped everywhere in Game 5 is funny 😂
Game 7
In my opinion what made MJ the GOAT was that he made things different and that changed the game forever. Before him, the NBA was like watching a wrestling match. He brought speed and dexterity, The next GOAT was Curry, who brought range and efficiency. And now Joker, is teaching us that playing as a team is better than having the best player. Edwards, Kobe, Carter, Lebron, great players no doubt about it, but they would never bring something knew to the game, nor change the way it is play, that's why they would forever be followers or imitators not GOATS
I'm waiting for that mavericks video 😂
Mavs are swept in the finals bro .....
Who's here right after Minnesota eliminated the Denver Nuggets?
me lol
Who’s here after ant being sub par ever since 😂
Who's here after Luka and Kyrie obliterated Minnesota in game 5? 😂

Ant is more like D.Wade
This is a classic from Jxmy. Thank you for all the hard work man. I’ve been entertained by you for years
New Jimmy vid is gonna be 🔥
This man really disappeared so he wouldn't jinx it again. First it was "The Pistons were the worst sports team ever" ended the regular season with a better record than the Wizards and Luka absolutely torturing the best defense in 5 😂
There's a reason big companies don't hire youtubers to analyse the game. They don't know what the fuck they're talking about (like James Lowroller over here)
Jimmy's poetic endings are getting too good
Anthony Edwards reminds me of Anthony Edwards. Same thing with Kobe, Luka, Jordan, Lebron....
JxmyHighroller been awfully quiet since the WCF dropped.
I loved the point about watching a guy who loves the game as much as we do. Pair that with the charisma, trash-talk, and crazy athleticism, it's everything you want to watch as a fan.
To be fair Jordan was 22 when he came into the League and Ant is 22 right now. Comparisons should begin by age not when entering the league imo. I'm excited to so see where it goes from here
Jordan was 20 when he entered.
@@rgopacc7798 he was 21 and 22 by the end of the season
Bro the moment Luka played Ant Man, we all knew these comparisons would end.
This is all spot on. I think the MJ comparisons come from people really wanting to see a modern version of Jordan. The kids wanna see what the hype is about and the elders wanna have a star they can rally for again. Everybody wants to know what it would look like if Jordan had to play against today's schemes and stars, and from the looks of this video it's been that way since he retired.
Jimmy I swear to god you jinx about everything you make a video about
