22yr old Anthony Edwards vs 22yr old Michael Jordan
Conference finals vs 1st round swept. I feel like Edwards has more impact.

Can't wait to see Ant lay an asswhoopin on Boston and watch you change your tune.

I like Edwards and I think the series goes 7. But Derrick white will be too much.

Re: 22yr old Anthony Edwards vs 22yr old Michael Jordan
Edwards just won a game 7 on the road against the Champs where his teammates contributed 82 points on 61 TS and he himself scored 16 on 32 TS.... Let me repeat, 16 on 32 TS..... And his team won.
Jordan couldn't play like that as a 22 year old and win. His team sucked in comparison.

Let Ant win 2 championships in a row, heck... even a championship, first and we can start talking about MJ comparison.

You're comparing a 4th year team to a 1st year team - that isn't comparable
In Jordan's 4th healthy season (89'), he was nearly beating the champs with nothing and a low seed - the Bulls were the only team to win any games from the Pistons in the 89' Playoffs, and they would've won the series if Pippen didn't miss Game 6 when he played 1 minute.. And he effectively missed Game 5 as well (given his performance)..
It's funny how Phil is excused for losing in 1990 due to the "migraine", while Collins was fired despite having a worse version of Pippen (migraines every night).. Phil inherited a team that was on the cusp of a title as the only team in the league that was capable of winning any games off the champs - MJ did this with zero help in 1989.. Btw, if you want to use 88' as his 4th season, that's when he won MVP/DPOY and carried an 8 ppg sidekick to 50 wins.

Embiid > Jokic
Re: 22yr old Anthony Edwards vs 22yr old Michael Jordan
Edwards already has more than twice as many playoff wins at 22 than Jordan had by 25.

that's because KAT built a playoff team before Ant even got there and they were a playoff team again before Ant was even the team's best player - Ant didn't take the team over until his 3rd season, so he was completely coddled compared to Jordan's path... ONLY JORDAN had to develop teammates, teams, and franchises, while everyone else was gifted goat franchises (Bird), goat teammates (Magic), or goat teams (KD)... Everyone else falls into one of more of these groups - we know that Lebron hand-picked the preseason favorite for 6 straight years from 2011-2016 and then again in 2020 and 2021... Bron shunned the "normal" 1 franchise player model and pursued better casts by having 3 franchise players on 1 team (super-team).

MJ answered all the questions. It will take a career to see if someone matches up to him, not just a year or a couple of years or a few years.

Kobe & Bron had a lot more wins at the same age too. Winning 6 is hard.
MJ is the GOAT for a reason.
