Everyone Compared Anthony Edwards to NBA Legend During Timberwolves' Sweep of Suns

Anthony Edwards has officially arrived. The NBA superstar scored 40 points to help the Timberwolves sweep Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns out of the playoffs.

Edwards scored just nine points in the first half but turned it on over the final two frames.

The night was punctuated by Edwards' vicious slam after driving past Bradley Beal and threatening Durant, who made a business decision and got out of the way, at the rim.

It was only a matter of time before every basketball fan on the planet sees what the rest of us do: Anthony Edwards plays awfully similar to none other than the GOAT, Michael Jordan. Some fans also compare Edwards to the late Kobe Bryant.

His assassin's mentality is on another level.

Here's what fans have to say about Anthony Edwards and how he compares to a young Michael Jordan and/or Kobe Bryant.

Is Anthony Edwards the next Michael Jordan?

The Timberwolves will likely face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs.
