Jordan's game evolved to a more rounded game, lifting up his teammates. Edwards is facing some of those same challenges.
Social media loves comparing Anthony Edwards’ game to Michael Jordan’s, and now Edwards himself appears to be taking that to heart. On Saturday’s broadcast of the Minnesota Timberwolves-Denver Nuggets game,
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards made NBA history in arguably his team's best performance of the season. With less than 7 minutes remaining in a dominant 133-104 win over the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 25, Edwards floated back to the logo where he took a pass from Mike Conley and released a jumper from 32 feet.
Twice this season they’ve beaten Denver. Minnesota has been stellar offensively on both occasions. It all stems from Edwards. Denver simply doesn’t have an answer for the guard.

MINNEAPOLIS — Anthony Edwards scored 34 points and became the Minnesota Timberwolves' career leader in 3-pointers in a 133-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets 133-104 on Saturday. Edwards made 14 of 23 shots from the floor and scored 23 points in the second half as Minnesota pulled away after leading by 11 at halftime.

The result was a 40-point opening frame, and Minnesota never lost that offensive momentum in a 133-104 win over the Denver Nuggets Saturday afternoon at Target Center in Minneapolis.

This season, Anthony Edwards is currently averaging 4.2 3PM per game while shooting 42.5% from deep. Only three players have averaged 4+ 3PM on 40+ 3P% across an entire season: Stephen Curry (7x), Klay Thompson (1x), and Damian Lillard (1x). https://t.co/AJBEhuj10Y pic.twitter.com/U3zXUjzRxh
Brunson and Towns represent the first pair of Knicks teammates to start in the All-Star Game since 1975, when Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Walt “Clyde” Frazier donned the orange and blue.
With Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined with a sprained right thumb — and as The Post first reported, also a bone chip in the same digit — the Knicks flushed a 16-point first-half lead before barely pulling out a 125-119 overtime win Wednesday night over the Sixers at Wells Fargo Center.
