There is a player who has undoubtedly established himself as one of the great stars of the NBA in these playoffs. Anthony Edwards is the benchmark for the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team that after a great regular season, has managed to take the current champions – with the current NBA MVP in charge – until the seventh game.
Despite being only 22 years old, the Wolves star is having historic playoffs, achieving statistics almost never seen before.
The 30.2 points, 6 rebounds and 5.8 assists that he has averaged in the ten games he has played so far in the playoffs for the title put him on par with two players who, like him, shone in the NBA since the minute one.
Although he has always been compared to Michael Jordan due to his physical resemblance and similarity in the way he plays, it is LeBron James y Kobe Bryant whom he has equaled.
Only LeBron (30.9 points in 2006) and Kobe (32.4 points in 2001) managed to average more points than him after ten playoff games at 22 years old or younger. That Anthony Edwards has achieved figures similar to two of the greatest basketball legends is something to take into account, one more argument in favor for those who think that when the old glory that still reigns in the NBA retires, he will be the face of The best league of the world.
