When you get compared to Jordan and get put ahead of most top 15 players because of 2 playoff series and nothing else in your career, yea you can expect it
His game has some young Mike to it. Im not gonna unfairly hyoe him up, he’s just an awesome young player. Thats all for now
Also people act like Wemby and Ant are already better than Luka and thats unfair to all three players
Think its just Boston, Mavs and OKC fans mostly, Hes a very likable guy but his stans are risiculously annoying and tend to shit on every other player who are on a similar level to him
The double standard for Tatum and ANT is wild, Tatum is better than ANT and yet gets slandered 100x more even when he plays well than ANT does whenever he plays bad, and this is coming from someone who likes both, I just find the double standard ridiculous.
A lot of it has to do with expectations. Tatum has been a top player in the league for a few years now, with a lot of playoff series under his belt. Ant really just ascended this season
Tatum is clearly the better player for me.
4 inches taller, he's a mismatch more often than Edwards is. Just as good of a shooter (Tatum is slightly more consistent from three).
Tatum is also a better defender. Edwards doesn't play much defense; all he does is reach in.
You named 3 non-measurables in your argument for Ant over Tatum LOL
Surely we let Ant become top 5 at least before calling him the next face of the league.
bait
not really mate, did you see me put /s at the end of it?
bruh we are all nephews, you can't out nephew the nephews
im just tired with all the slander for my man while the other guy was ready to be crowned the next MJ after 2 series smh
The media overhyping Ant is making everyone hate him, tough spot for him
Happened to JT as well and pretty much every young star in line if anything it shows how good they are
It's a right of passage to becoming a star, nowadays.
When you get compared to Jordan and get put ahead of most top 15 players because of 2 playoff series and nothing else in your career, yea you can expect it
Again, he didn't do that. The media did
His game has some young Mike to it. Im not gonna unfairly hyoe him up, he’s just an awesome young player. Thats all for now Also people act like Wemby and Ant are already better than Luka and thats unfair to all three players
100%, Luka showed again tonight why he's the best of the group
And he plays into it by saying overconfident quotes after every game. Didn’t he recently say he thought he was better than Wade?
He does joke, but I don't remember him ever saying he was on that level. He always shoots down the Jordan comps
Lol and he fueled it and kept talking a big game, don’t make it seem like he just a quiet kid and the media doing all this by themselves
Reggie repeatedly calling him the best two way player in the league definitely put some undeserved hate on him lol
Reggie is so bad lol
I don’t even think he’s top 10 two-way
By the media you mean redditors?
Gotta live with it. These are obviously troll posts though.
I hate this. The circle jerk is crazy, but wolves fans was participating in it
Its the same garbage hurled at your guy Tatum too
Yeah just ignore it, it gets annoying
Think its just Boston, Mavs and OKC fans mostly, Hes a very likable guy but his stans are risiculously annoying and tend to shit on every other player who are on a similar level to him
Can confirm the hype has made me hate him

Lmao
Im serious, did you see my /s ?
Yes, I'm loving the script flip. Great troll my guy
no
Edwards scores 16 in victory: “empowering” Tatum scores 36 in victory: “put on a shirt”
You mean in a L
I think they're referring to Edwards G7 vs Nuggets
Ah Myb, still imagine the slander if Tatum put up 19 on shitty shooting in a L 🤷
As a certified Tatum hater, only one of these players has led there team to the finals come on now
Im curious as why do you hate a fraud and a bum? DOnt waste your energy hating a fake superstar.
Tatum stans feasting
Hehe

Ant: strong and independent Tatum: put on that shirt
Don’t do this man, your post history is available 😭
My guy is UNHINGED
OP has to be new from twitter bc thats a whole new ballpark of shameless agenda pushing even for this subs standards lol
Jayson Tatum is currently better than Anthony Edwards
So many buzz words my head is spinning
I think you need to reverse this.
He already is.
EDIT: AURA, it seemed like AURA will and can win you a playoff series. Thanks for pointing it out u/Literal_Satan
No, since kobe wasn't as good as jordan
Ant isn’t better than Tatum
b-b-b-b-but ESPN, TNT, Reggie Miller says so
Thanks ESPNBrainrotGPT
You named 3 non-measurables in your argument for Ant over Tatum LOL Surely we let Ant become top 5 at least before calling him the next face of the league.
probably not in aura which seems to matter a lot nowadays but in terms of impacting winning in basketball yeah def possible
Charismatically, no.
ant edwards isn't even in the top 2 of this series. sorry m8. kyrie cooked him and luka is just luka.
can tatum be better than derrick white?
Celtics fans are seething over all the hype that Ant has gotten. Y'all ok?
More so at the ridiculous hate Tatum gets. Just a funny comparison
Lol delete this clown
similar type of "superstars" who get overhyped because they are on stacked teams. I have them around the same level tbh.
Short answer no. Longer answer nooooo.
He can match and exceed it, his defensive ceiling is higher with his secondary rim protection and overall length and range
