This comparison has shadowed 22-year-old Anthony Edwards during the Minnesota Timberwolves' NBA playoff run.
As the final seconds ticked down in a dramatic series win over the Denver Nuggets, Anthony Edwards waved goodbye to the disappointed fans. In that moment, you could see a glimpse of the mindset and presence of Michael Jordan, the legendary Chicago Bulls player.
Now, Edwards has the opportunity to lead the Timberwolves to their first NBA championship.
They will face the Dallas Mavericks, with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, in the Western Conference finals.
Game one is on Wednesday night (01:30 Thursday BST).
Many players have been compared to Jordan over the years, but Edwards might be the closest yet.
