Nick Wright ADMITS never seen before Anthony Edwards’ DUNK is probably BETTER than Jordan.

Nick Wright says Anthony Edwards’ dunk was better than any of Michael Jordan’s

Anthony Edwards has received favorable comparisons to the NBA legend Michael Jordan for a while now. The player’s style of playing, athleticism, and mindset all resemble that of the GOAT. Ever since his debut, fans have seen the shadow of MJ in Edwards’ game. However, in the last few days, the comparisons have become one of the main topics of discussion in the league.

On Monday, the NBA world got to see Anthony Edwards‘ submission for ‘dunk of the year’ against the Utah Jazz. The explosive dunk has given a boost to the talks about Ant-Man’s comparisons with Michael Jordan. However, TV personality Nick Wright has taken the conversation one step ahead. This is what Wright said:

I watch that Anthony Edwards' dunk and I say that might be better than any in-game dunk Jordan ever had.

The Minnesota Timberwolves guard’s monstrous dunk dislocated his finger and gave his opponent, John Collins, a head contusion. Wright has always negatively spoken about Michael Jordan to uphold LeBron James. Hence, some fans might take offense to the statement. On the other hand, it was a spectacular dunk and a magnificent one.

Wright supported his statement by acknowledging the 22-year-old’s commitment for the past few days. The host believed that dunking in the current era of basketball was better considering the ‘athleticism and explosiveness.’ Edwards’ dunk has certainly taken the comparison conversations to a higher level, as Jordan himself has reportedly agreed to them.

Anthony Edwards agreed with Kevin Garnett about the comparisons with Michael Jordan

Many NBA players, veterans, analysts, and fans are discussing the similarities between Anthony Edwards’s and Michael Jordan’s styles. About a month ago, Kevin Garnett took part in the similarity conversations. On All the Smoke Productions, KG made a statement about Ant-Man’s current performance. He felt it similar to Jordan’s rookie year. This is what KG said:

He’s like a young ’84 Jordan, boy. You hear me?

Edwards did not like the comparisons as he believed he was still young and had yet to achieve that level of success. However, he agreed with Garnett comparing him to the rookie Jordan. This is what Edwards said:

That's OG, man. Whatever he says, goes. If anybody wants to argue with him, you gotta take it up with Michael Jordan. I think he's right. He didn't say '96 or '97, he said '84. He's just finding himself, so I agree with that.

The first overall pick in the 2020 draft is having an amazing season this year. Edwards has flourished even more after the Timberwolves’ star player Karl Anthony-Towns‘ long absence due to injury. The team is currently the third seed in the Western Conference standings. In contrast, Ant-Man is averaging 26.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game.
