Anthony Edwards wants MJ comparisons to stop, face of the NBA & his confidence | NBA on ESPN

For decades the NBA Playoffs were dominated by the likes of LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. However, this year a new group of superstars emerged, led by Anthony Edwards, who looks to become the new face of the NBA. I caught up with Ant during the Timberwolves’ playoff run, the faces of the NBA and the Michael Jordan comparisons.

He is not just talented and confident he is a respectful and a highly intelligent young dude.

" and, ... Tatum... That's literallly how EVERYONE feels about tatum LOL

[HenryW]

Most relatable player in the league for me

Anthony Edward's "I got a Tre ball I can shoot that 3, that's how I'm different from Mike"

Michael up sneakers and heads to Minnesota 😂

So mature. Be like Ant. Kudos to his older siblings for raising a fine young man.

It’s okay Ant, we’ll stop comparing you to Jordan and start comparing you to Kobe 👍🏽

[baffourappiah]

Even Ant respects Jokic as the face of the league, but the media doesn't yet try to promote Ant though he hasn't won anything yet. Like he said, It's not yet time but eventually.

He is Anthony Edwards!!! This dude doesn’t drink or smoke or party. He Just chills with his family. He’s loyal to MN and the fans. He has all the potential in the world. We love him in Minni! He’s gonna bring us our first NBA championship! Theres no doubt in our minds! 🐜🌲🐺💯

stop taking the league over at 22 and we’ll stop the comparisons

[unclebobbiebee]

Why the draft is so important. One man just switched the team from the bottom to the top.

[davidkigheri]

I REALLY LOVE HIS DEMEANER !! keep it up Antony!

[Liftercode]

Said is competitive cuz his brothers, same story that MJ

[obitriceforlife]

He’s lying he doesn’t want them to stop 😂

[lakersfanlife]

I am MJ for Life but damn this kid is Iike Michael and Kobe mix....GOAT and MAMBA💯💯💯

[TSHEFU]

"After we accomplish what we need to accomplish."

Gives me chills as a Wolves fan. WHY NOT US?!

[jay]

if he's cocky, he wouldn't be so good at taking constructive criticism. when Steve Kerr said he didn't work hard enough, he took that into heart and dedicated to becoming better. that's not cockiness, but purely confidence, because he believes in his skills but believes in improvement as well.

[manfromwuhan]

Ant sweeps Jokic a 3 time mvp and win the championship he might be a top 3 future great

[jordale]

That Anthony Edwards is looking a lot like a young Anthony Edwards

[straight--the-point]

That grin while saying they need to stop suggest he doesn't want them to stop 😁😁

[BriefKeef]

U know she wanted to interview Ant again 🤣
