Anthony Edwards has seemingly changed his tune, at least a little bit, about those Michael Jordan comparisons.
Early in December, Edwards’ former teammate Patrick Beverley said he believes Edwards could be the next Jordan. At the time, the Wolves guard responded to the comparison saying he “just wants (the comparisons) to stop.”
Two months later, Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett is the one making the comparison, albeit to a young Jordan. On the trade deadline edition of the “KG Certified” podcast, Garnett said Edwards is “like a young, ’84 Jordan.”
When asked about Garnett’s comparison, Edwards responded saying, “That’s the OG man. So, whatever he say goes. Anybody that wants to argue with you got to take it up with, got to take it up with Michael Jordan.”
On if the comparison is correct, Edwards confidently responded, “I think he’s right, for sure. ’84 Jordan. He didn’t say ’96, ’97. He said ’84. He’s finding himself. I agree with that.”
Beverley quipped on social media reposting the video saying, “But when I say it I’m crazzzzy.”
