Anthony Edwards is nowhere near Lebron. Here is lebron when
https://youtu.be/ZI20vHRDWqQ?si=D7LvP1gFNIyJ2gUU he was the same age as AE against the best defensive team in the last 20 years the 2008 Boston Celtics. Cavs forced a game 7 with that "supporting casts".

Lebron didn't have a jump shot at that point in his career. I'll give him the playmaking advantage, but Anthony Edwards isn't Magic Johnson. He's the player he wants to be and I'd argue that he could play more of a playmaking role but it wouldn't make sense since he is the Wolves best shooter. I'll continue to point out Lebrons lack of offensive skillset and his performance in the 2008 playoffs versus Celtics. He was still relying on his athleticism in 2008 because nobody had that kind of speed and strength during that time.

Lebron Game 1: FG% 11.1, 0 for 6 from three, 10 TURNOVERS
Lebron Game 2: FG% 25.0, 0 for 4 from three, 7 TURNOVERS
Lebron Game 3: FG% 31.3, 3 for 5 from three
Lebron Game 4: FG% 35, 2 for 5 from three
Lebron Game 5: FG% 48, 0 for 5 from three
Lebron Game 6: FG% 39, 1 of 3 from three, 8 TURNOVERS
Lebron Game 7: FG% 48, 3 for 11 from three

If Wolves beat Lakers then maybe we'll have comparable teams later on in the playoffs for ANT to face. Well, maybe only if the Wolves make the Finals because the 2008 Celtics are one of the best defensively.

Ant just isn't close to Lebron as a passer/decision maker. You can say whatever you want about Lebron's lack of offensive skill overall but he's a smart player.

OP is absolouie right, but at the same time nobody was as good as young Lebron at the same age. So it shouldnt be taken as a knock on Edwards. LeOneOfAKind is just that guy.

Now and forever!!!!!!!!!

Obviously you're right, but now what? Circle jerk about how he's better? You need to tug me off first if we do that.

Lets be honest, Ant hasn't shown any success yet in the playoffs. Nothing impressive. Only 23, so he'll get there, but he hasn't shown any superstar performance yet.
