Do not become the victim of propaganda, people. I know it sounds exciting. But we have to stay strong in our pursuit of truth, even when Shams Charania goes on ESPN and Cries Wolf (get it) About Anthony Edwards turns into a Michael Jordan / Kobe Bryant Hybrid:
“Mij is verteld, dit offseason, de nummer één focus van Anthony Edwards, een nieuw ontwikkelingsgebied, en dat is de post-up game. De mid-post, high-post, low-post, het opzetten van een midrange-game en de fadeaway shot van de post, a la Michael Jordan en Kobe Bryant. Ik heb verteld dat hij een aantal tape van Kobe en MJ heeft bekeken, And how they could get the shot-off game.
And you know, changes to Michael Jordan would Be good for the development of Ant. I am surprised that more players who have not tried.
But before we are ourselves for this, we have to rewind three years until then Ant to Zach Lowe – then from ESPN, now from the ringtone – that he was … You guessed it, to his post game. From the Zach Lowe Show:
“Shams, ademloos … sprak over hoe hij met mensen in de buurt van Anthony Edwards heeft gesproken, en Anthony Edwards zal dit seizoen een post-up game onthullen als zijn grote innovatie buiten het seizoen … Als dat bekend klinkt voor iedereen die naar deze podcast luistert, is het in de herfst van 2022, drie jaar geleden, drie jaar geleden, in mijn meest intrigerende spelers bij ESPN, en ik sprak op de Phone on the phone over the phone over the phone over the phone over the phone over the phone, and in the fall of a post-up of a post-up of a place of a place of a place of a place of a place of a post-up of a place of a place of 2022, he was in the lab that summer … My post-ups will be a lot better.
Is a post-up game really what Anthony Edwards the wolves needs?
Maybe he means it this time. Perhaps Ant will be a threat with his back to the basket, an area where he can improve his volume and efficiency. But we must not forget that players work on multiple parts of their games during each low season. Sometimes it translates to court the following year … often not.
Ben Simmons made a lot of jumping shots in July. I am sure that Shaq has also taken around 10,000 free throws every summer. Cam Thomas probably looks defensive in open gymruns in August. The point is just because ant Watches a lot of film On MJ and Kobe does not mean that he will emulate them every night next season.
I watch a lot of film on Simone Biles, but If I have tried this I would still break both of my legs in seconds.
So, certainly, Ant Posting Defenders and then “too small” screaming against screaming Wolves fans would be great. Every marginal offensive improvement for an all-elite attacking player is welcome. Plus, Ant is only 24 years old; I have no doubt that he has the facilities to improve aspects of his game in future seasons. But I wouldn’t make him completely like an elite post-scoring guard in pencil. Although, in the words of Frank Reynolds, it can be cool.
