King of the Court: Anthony Edwards vs Jalen Green

[I AM WARHOL]

Start at 2:20.

Gotta feeling one day we’re gonna look back on this footage like

These 2 are gonna run the league in a couple of years




Extra Video: this one is cool cause you can see Steph watching 2 of his future teammates in Wiseman and Nico. Wiseman put on a show. Had Steph hit the

Ironically they’re shaping up to be the new young MJ & Kobe of todays nba

I think if Jalen gains more muscle/strength, it would take his game to another level

Jalen's speed and leaping ability is giving him the physicality to go through contact and finish at the rim now.

That constant endurance of hits to the basket, to constantly absorb blows is what I'm not sure he has,. Basketball gods please forgive me for this comparison, but a young Micheal Jordan in the early 80s could still go to the paint with authority, but he needed to gain muscle so he can last an entire playoff run and eventually win the Finals

Basically the Giannis diet: gain solid functional weight/strength over time while keeping the explosiveness.
It does seem they're taking that approach with Jalen. When Jalen gets to be about 24/25 I'm sure that'll be when he starts getting dominant.

Does kind of seem like their weight/strength processes are on similar timelines when you compare them at the same age and league of experience.

I think a key reason why he's dominating and putting it together is his quickness and more finely-tuned hesitation game. Jalen controls his speed and feet so much better than he used to while throwing out more hesi's to keep defenders off-balance. Plus the extra finesse on finishing ability and touch around the basket. The better he gets with deceleration and moving in traffic along with his physical body will give more more exponential improvement.

Jalen is one of the fastest and explosive athletes like ever. He’s faster than Vince and Kobe was ….I can only remember MJ having that kind of speed. And one other person….

Oh yea that’s right. Anthony Edwards.

Ant is like 30 pounds heavier but he’s just as fast and as athletic.

Crazy to think that Jalen has leveled up this much in the past 3 months and Ant is still on another tier.

I don’t think Ant is near as fast as Jalen tbh. But he’s still fast and is just a fukking tank of a human being. The strength + explosiveness of Ant is insane.

Jalen is lightening in a bottle tho. I’m pay to see him, DeAaron, and Maxey in a foot race. It’s hard for him to stay in control sometimes but when he masters it, like we’ve seen in this stretch, it’s incredible to watch.

Edit: And just to add, Amen is probably the best athlete in the NBA. Full stop.

Yea I wouldn’t disagree if you want to give Jalen the speed edge. But I don’t Definitively see a gap between them at all. Ant is def a speed demon…one the fastest guys ever at his position.

And when you’re talking about bulky dudes 220 and up it’s hIm Dwade and Bron and that’s it.

Great breakdowns.

Gonna peep these in a bit

Can’t wait for their matchup Tuesday

Yeah they're playing some insane basketball right now.

This is exactly the time you want your superstars playing their best basketball.

One half of the prophecy is fulfilled . Ant is firmly on his way to being the new face of the NBA. Georgia boy at that .

Jalen time for you to put in the work this off season. The flashes are there but the consistency is lacking. Don’t make a liar out of me fam. I’ve seen too much of the potential to give up on the vision. I am overly invested in seeing both Ant and Jalen dominate the league from the 2 guard position. Shai and Booker are cute I guess but we need that athleticism. That excitement. The sky walking. Something different about a swagged out shooting guard who will posterize you and kill you with skill.

One took the leap..the other gave us flashes. I’m encouraged going forward.

Would love to see Shaedon Sharpe join this group…I got stock there too @Serious
