Anthony Edwards: I just wish y’all would stop comparing me to Michael Jordan

February 19, 2025 by Hoops Hype

“Your game is very similar to MJ’s, but what move would you like to adapt to your bag from MJ?” Anthony Edwards: “No moves, man. Shout out to MJ—he the GOAT. I just wish y’all would stop comparing me to him.”

More on this storyline

Anthony Edwards: I see all the critics talking about how the All-Star Game isn’t competitive, but I can’t really answer that, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. Because from my perspective, I’ve never been an All-Star Game type of guy who takes it seriously—going out there, trying to guard somebody, and getting a stop. I’ve never been that type of guy. I just save it for the Timberwolves season, pretty much. So, speaking for myself, I don’t think so.” -via YouTube / February 19, 2025
Anthony Edwards on Luka Doncic: He didn’t look 270 to me, man. He averages 30 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. I don’t give a damn if you’re 300—you fine with me!” -via YouTube / February 19, 2025
Tim Reynolds: “My groin’s been messed up for a little minute,” Anthony Edwards said, but he hopes to not miss any time with the Wolves. -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / February 16, 2025
A dream of many sneaker fans is to have their own massive walk-in closet dedicated to just storing shoes. And for anyone who currently has $23 million lying around, that dream can become a reality with this recently listed mansion in Arizona. The 21,000-square-foot property located at 24258 N 91st St. in Scottsdale, AZ, was listed on Zillow last month with an asking price of $23.5 million. Aside from the notable amenities like five bedrooms, a full-sized basketball court, and a movie theater, this property also includes a $300K “Jordan Room” designed to display 290 pairs of Air Jordans and holds up to 325 pairs of sneakers total. The Zillow listing also says that over 60 NBA players, including Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Damian Lillard, and others, have visited this home since it was built in 2017, as it was previously owned by Attitude is Free founder Brett Hardt Sr. -via complex.com / February 18, 2025
So much of what Jordan Brand has become can trace its roots back to MJ and the NBA All-Star Game. And while Sargent wants to make sure she and her team is ready to honor that legacy over the weekend in San Francisco, it’s an approach that rings true all year round.” “Our athletes are doing that every day,” Sargent said of upholding that standard. “From Jayson to across all of the the sports that we’re in, from Mookie Betts to Jalen Hurts, there is something very special about when you have that Jumpman on your chest, you have greatness in your heart, and that is a beautiful thing. -via The Rookie Wire / February 15, 2025
LeBron James is widely viewed as one of the top-two basketball players in NBA history—and even the greatest ever by some. The four-time NBA champion and four-time NBA MVP is often regarded in the class of Michael Jordan and any other all-time great, but San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama believes James’s game is the most underrated in the league. “I’m gonna go with LeBron James,” Wembanyama said, via NBA TV, asked the question. “Underrated just means you’re not rated at your right value. I think LeBron’s underrated.” -via BasketNews / February 15, 2025
