Fans Saying Same Thing About Anthony Edwards After Eliminating Lakers

For the second consecutive season, Anthony Edwards enhanced his playoff legacy by eliminating a marquee NBA figure in the first round. Last season, he swept Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns while averaging 31 points per game.

This year, Edwards defeated LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers in a 4-1 series, clinching the victory with a 103-98 win on Wednesday. Afterward, he humorously declared "Ant Man, Batman, Superman... Lakers in 5" during a celebratory lap around Crypto.com Arena.

Video of Edwards parading through the Lakers' arena went viral, with fans comparing him to Michael Jordan. Comments on social media included "Ant the new Jordan" and "MJ must be proud," referencing his confident demeanor.

Edwards has previously drawn Jordan comparisons due to playing style and physical similarities. Post-victory, observers specifically noted his mannerisms, with one fan remarking, "Bruh even walk like Jordan," reinforcing the iconic parallel.
