Social media reacts to Anthony Edwards' three-game playoff slump.
Edwards initially drew correlations to the NBA legend after a hot start to the postseason. His play style and trash talk mimicked Jordan, leading to many placing him among the league's top players. However, Edwards has struggled over the last three games, averaging 18.7 points on shooting 29.8 percent from the field. The praise he received early in the playoffs is simmering down, slowly transitioning into criticism for the young star.
"It’s about some people with huge amount of pull very loudly proclaiming things and creating expectations that are wildly unfair," Front Office's Keith Smith tweeted. "Ant is awesome. He’s not the next MJ and that comp was always unfair and dumb. And now he’s taking shit for that idiocy."
