Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

Found out the reason why he said that. Ant and Kobe are the only 2 players who at 22 scored 40-plus points in back to back playoff games.

I still would not put him up there with Kobe and MJ.

Would be crazy to right now, but you never know.

Must win game for Denver, they will get it done

Yeah but if the Wolves can find a way to squeak this one out, that is damn near nail in the coffin time.

Fran Franschilla putting Edwards up there with MJ and Kobe at the age of 22.

He is an idiot for not mentioning Lebron. He took nobody's to the Finals. Ant has a lot more help than Lebron did in Cleveland first stint and it isn't close. Honestly nobody touches anything Lebron did at 22.

at 21 Lebron averaged 31,7 and 7 and led his team to 50 wins. 2nd best player was Big Z

I give LeBron extra credit for getting the Cavs to the Finals in '07 and '18. Especially '07. Here's some of the roster.

Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varejao, Eric Snow, Sasha Pavlovic, Damon Jones, Donyell Marshall, Daniel Gibson.

Not much has changed for Ant the last two months other than more people got to see him play.

His big turn moment came in the summer not during this season when he was unquestionably the alpha for the US basketball team.

People seeing him play is a pretty important part of being a superstar.

Also playing and performing at that level in big moments of big games.

Can’t get there in the regular season.

So simply being in this moment and leading his team to a series win is huge.

Do it again against Denver?

And everyone going to be saying he is a superstar. Not just the talking heads on TV paid to hype every game.

Joker might have a monster game. Not sure if Murray's 100%. But don't see the defending champs going down 0-2.

I think you can compare him to Kobe and MJ at that age to show if his stats have him on that type of trajectory. But outside of that, the focus shouldn't be on him being the next Kobe or MJ...it should be on him being the 1st Ant. Then, when his career is over or winding down...look at how he stacks up with Kobe and MJ.

Neither would the kid himself.

Anthony Edwards on Michael Jordan comparisons: I want it to stop, he's the greatest of all time, I can't be compared to him

Anthony Edwards is the breakout star of the NBA playoffs. He dazzles with gravity-defying dunks. He oozes swagger. He’s regularly being compared to a young Michael Jordan, with side-by-side v…

He can fly out and see the kid immediately after.

The kid at 10 years old will like his dad as a champion much more

I’m with you bro. Don’t back down. I still have no idea what role I played in that room other than being a target to get yelled at.

I’m disappointed in all these other guys. Like are they that scared that their wives are gonna read over their shoulders?!?!? Gay.

And WTF is this weird shit?!?!? Are you gonna fucking breast feed now, Dave?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Denver really needs to come out and show that they want this series if they have any hope of moving on. This isn’t the Lakers you can’t just coast for 50% of the game and expect to win it at the end

Adjustments:
“You guys gotta really want it!”


And that just fixed everything.

Coaching brilliance.

Maybe they didn’t want it before the coach says that?

Just try harder guys. Just gotta really want it. Like the big candy bar house on Halloween. You gotta really want it!!!!

I mean saying “do you guys want continue to sleepwalk through these playoffs and go join LA in Cancun or do you want to prove to this league that last year wasn’t a fluke and you guys are as dominant as you think you are” is essentially the same thing.

I think that’ll be enough to get Murray going

Was I not supposed breast feed the kid? How will we bond?

Probably best for society as a whole.

Frankly they haven’t played well for awhile. I’m not sure they can just turn it on.
