NBA (DR)

Great architect of the Wolves’ triumph in the series against the Nuggets, Anthony Edwards will play the conference finals for the first time in his young career.

Better yet, the back joined an ultra-VIP club with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

Imperial throughout this 2023-24 season, Anthony Edwards shows himself even stronger during these playoffs.

After sweeping the Suns in the first round, the Wolves have just eliminated the Nuggets after a series and a Game 7 full of twists and turns.

Thanks to a final victory (98-90) this Sunday, the Minnesota franchise has just reached the conference finals for the first time in 20 years.

It will also be a big first for Anthony Edwards at this stage of the competition.

And although he was rather clumsy with 16 points at 6/24 in addition to his 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 interceptions during the last meeting, the star guard, already compared all day long to Michael Jordan , has also just matched a craziness previously only achieved by LeBron James and Kobe Bryant .

The feat of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James equaled by Anthony Edwards

The only players aged 22 or younger to average more than 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and to have reached the conference finals: Kobe Bryant (2001), LeBron James (2007), Anthony Edwards (2024 )

To be precise, Ant-Man in the playoffs so far is 28.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.2 caviars per game. Faced with such figures, fans can only be admiring.

This kid is special

He’s a GOAT🐐🐐

Already very often compared to Michael Jordan, Anthony Edwards sees his name now associated with those of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. While Minnesota will face the Mavericks in the next round, the guard will have to confirm if he wants to discover the NBA Finals this 2023-24 season.
