Stephen A. Smith Compares Anthony Edwards to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan After Game 1 Performance
Anthony Edwards put up an impressive performance in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a blowout victory over the Phoenix Suns. Edwards’ performance drew praise from many, including ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith, who compared him to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Smith praised Edwards’ constant trash-talking, which he said reminded him of the legendary players. Edwards has been compared to Jordan before, with Kevin Garnett and even Jordan himself making the comparison. Despite the pressure that comes with being compared to the GOAT, Edwards has managed to thrive and is now leading the Timberwolves to a deep playoff run.
