Hall-of-Fame point guard Isiah Thomas does not like this comparison
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has drawn comparisons to Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, but one NBA legend isn't seeing it. During a recent appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Hall-of-Fame point guard Isiah Thomas said the following:
"Their games aren’t similar to me," Thomas said of Edwards and Jordan. "Edwards at this age is a far better perimeter shooter, but Jordan at the 22-23 age, he was a far more better driver, getting to the basket, finishing around the rim. Now Edwards has been spectacular around the rim when he gets there, but Jordan his first couple of years lived in the paint. Edwards has a perimeter game that complements his inside game.
Edwards himself has pushed back against the Jordan comparisons, but the Timberwolves star also made similar comments about his three-point shooting ability in comparison to Jordan's. While there will never be another Michael Jordan, when factoring in everything he meant to the NBA both on and off the court, many have said Edwards is the closest there is in the league right now to the Bulls icon.
