Ja Morant is a beast. Idk about Jordan-esque. But maybe Allen Iverson-esque

I think Anthony Edwards is most like MJ. His game is going to explode in the coming years

i agree to a point. edwards is a great talent. The thing about Jordan is he was so far abover everyone there was no comparison, he was bigger than the league, he was bigger than sports. There will be lots of great players but to be head and shoulders above everyone is difficult.

I think MJ-esque is a great CEILING for Ja. He may not stand out as much as Jordan but Ja looks like a great hybrid PG who plays unselfishly.
It’s very hard to reach that ceiling but he’s young and is STILL developing his elite game.
He’s got a well balanced team around him so if front office do their part, he could see some championships and MVPs in the near future.

Ja is a beast but the jordan comparison is not a good one at all. Derrick rose is probably abetter comparison but he is a better passer . I just will just enjoy watching him progress.

I’ll admit that the mvp award is up for grabs this season but ja is nothing like Jordan. I’m starting to think mj played so long ago that people really forgot how good he was.
