It's the question that everyone keeps to be asking.
"If I had seen Michael Jordan at 22 years old, you might say, 'Look at Anthony Edwards and how much more refined he is, how much more polished he is at the same age.'""If I had seen Michael Jordan at 22 years old, you might say, 'Look at Anthony Edwards and how much more refined he is, how much more polished he is at the same age.'"" Anthony Edwards is the star that we wanna see..
After scoring 43 points in Game 1, Luke Doncic and Stephen Curry are the only two players to have scored more points in their conference semifinals debut. Edwards only trails LeBron James, A'mare Stoudemire and Kobe Bryant when it comes to 30+ point performances from players aged 23 or younger. With former MVPs like LeBron James , Kevin Durant , James Harden and Russell Westbrook in the downturn of their respective careers, it is fair to say that the NBA is looking for a new"face of the league."
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic are both 29 and likely currently in their prime. Edwards has only been in the league for four seasons. Other young players like Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have become All-Stars and popular players, but they haven't received the level of buzz that"Ant" has this postseason.
To become the face of any league, you have to win at the highest level. Winning a championship would be something that Tatum, Morant, SGA or even Devin Booker has never done – and Edwards could truly stamp himself as the future face of the NBA by leading Minnesota to the promised land.
