The success of the Minnesota Timberwolves and\u00a0Anthony Edwards\u00a0has kickstarted an interesting argument in the hoop community. Many people believe that Ant will become the face of the league with the way he has been improving and some also think that he is on track to be\u00a0the next Michael Jordan. Amidst performances to back this claim all the way, Patrick Beverley recently reminded people that he was one of the first people to actually see the potential in Edwards.<\/p>\n

\"$300<\/p>\n

On the recent episode of the\u00a0Pat Bev Podcast<\/em>, he said that when he first saw him in Minnesota, he sensed that there was something special about the youngster. He said his first thought was,\u00a0\u201cThis motherf***er could be Michael Jordan.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0After that, Beverley tried to tell the media that Ant-Man could be the next Jordan, but because of the farfetched nature of his assessment, everyone laughed at him. Turns out, it was Beverley who was going to have the last laugh as Edwards proved him right.<\/p>\n

After a little tussle with the media, the 35-year-old tried to tell the same thing to Daryl Morey who also shrugged it off by saying,\u00a0\u201cMJ is a lot, Pat.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0But it\u2019s not just the advocacy that Beverley has taken up for Edwards. He also revealed on the podcast that he has worked with him and has also given him the most important career advice. He said,\u00a0\u201cI sit Ant down one time, I ain\u2019t gonna say the other person\u2019s name because they\u2019re currently playing basketball. I said\u2026You can be two people in the NBA, you can be this person, great career, made a ton of money, took care of his family, $300 million and counting or you can be Michael Jordan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Beverley said that Ant-Man acknowledged the fact that both the options were great, and even though he didn\u2019t choose one right on the spot, it seems like he eventually chose the same route as the legend who si championships.<\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards has been compared to Michael Jordan by some big names<\/h2>\n

Almost every athlete in the league must have hoped to be the next Michael Jordan at some point in their life. However, it is one thing to make those claims yourself and it\u2019s so much more authentic when other people do that for you. Edwards is currently enjoying the phase in career where some of the biggest names are comparing him to the great man. Kevin Garnett said on\u00a0All The Smoke<\/em>\u00a0podcast,\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s like a young \u201984 Jordan. I\u2019m watching how he\u2019s coming through the lane\u2026he turn the corner, if you ain\u2019t there, he\u2019s throwing you in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Stephen A. Smith also heaped praise for Anthony Edwards on\u00a0First Take<\/em>. He said,\u00a0\u201cHe forces you to think about Jordan, Kobe. You look at his game and you look at his demeanor. You look at how he goes after it, and you look at his level of production.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0According to Stephen A. even Jordan acknowledges that Ant is\u00a0\u201cspecial.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0On top of all the praise coming in from the media and veterans, Ant\u2019s teammates also believe that he is a lot like Jordan.<\/p>\n

During a conversation with Shaquille O\u2019Neal on\u00a0NBA on TNT<\/em>, Mike Conley said that Ant reminds him of a young Michael Jordan. He said,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve never\u2026been teammates with a guy who believes more in himself than Anthony Edwards.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Safe to say, there are enough co-signs for Ant as the next big thing in the league. If he ends up beating the Nuggets in the Conference Semifinals and then wins the title, it\u2019ll get him a step closer to that dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
