Mike was just shy of 22 when he entered the NBA. No way he was 2 years older 4 years later. He was good but not that good.
Actually he was 24 in his 4th seasondid they say edwards is the greatest player of all time? or that he's as good as jordan? or just that there are a lot of similarities in their game and athletic profile?
michael didnt win a playoff series until his 4th season in the league when he was 26 years old

I could literally see anything happening tbh. This series has been hard to predict quarter to quarter, much less game to game.
Since Spurs fans are in offseason mode, on this day in 2007:
- Game 5 was played May 16 at the US Airways Center. After leading by as many as 16 points in the second quarter and ahead 79–71 with 5:18 to play, Bruce Bowen hit a three-pointer with 36.4 seconds to go ahead and the Suns lost the game 88–85. The Suns, without Stoudemire and Diaw because of the aforementioned one-game suspension, were led by Shawn Marion who scored 24 points and collected 17 rebounds; all but four of those points were scored in the second half. Kurt Thomas, playing in place of Stoudemire, had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Steve Nash finished with 19 points and 12 assists. Manu Ginobili scored 15 of his 26 points in the final quarter to lead the Spurs to the late rally as the Suns ran out of energy down the stretch.
That was such an electrifying series. Spurs Suns 2007 semis was a battle with Nash getting the busted nose G1 and Horry hip check G4. That G5 was nuts SA trailed by 16 and pretty much the whole game. Mounted a huge comeback on the road with Bowen nailing the go ahead 3 inside a min left in the game.
Amare and Boris suspended of course so the Suns ran out of steam. I remember liking the path if we could just get past PHX. UTH was a breeze in the WCF and Parker went nuclear which led to the FMVP. WCF and Finals was elite Parker where he feasted on weak matchups. I remember being so afraid of that DET CLE series cause I wanted CLE but then kinda worrying that "king James" would be a handful. I was at a huge house party near UTSA for G4 2007 Finals where SA swept CLE and there were people out in the streets celebrating with waving broomsticks in their hands. Only drawback was winning in CLE was kinda tame.
Spurs owe it all to Baron Davis lol. The GSW knocking out DAL in round 1 was absurd and still one of the best shock upsets I've seen. What a team. Nelly led, shooters lined up all along the arc. You'd have Davis, Barnes, Captian Jack and Peitrus all out there like a shooting gallery.
The Golden State Warriors became the third eighth seed to beat a top seed and the first team to do so since the first round was extended to a best of seven in 2003. The Warriors were also the first team to eliminate a top seed since the 1999 New York Knicks’ Cinderella run to the Finals.
With the loss, the Dallas Mavericks earned the dubious distinction of becoming the first (and currently only) .800 regular season team to lose in the first round. With the win, the Golden State Warriors also won their first playoff series since 1991.
Lol Mavs fans
well that was fun
he turned 25 before the playoffs. but ye i was off by a year
I have to say I’m enjoying the dramas of this year playoffs, especially the early exit of LeBron, KD and Curry didn’t even make it to the playoffs. Instead watching ANT take it to the defending Champions with young confidence, The Jokić manhandled the “DPOY”, Brunson and the Nova brothers playing great together, Derrick overachieving. I hate Doncic, but he’s silenced OKC’s thunder. I like it.

His PR machine wants people to believe his career started in 1991
I would say the Warriors-Lebron era which was from the fall of 2014 to the summer of 2022 was my least favorite era of the NBA. No real rivalries during that time period. The playoffs for the most part was just Lebron and Warriors owning the league. With those 2 old and not having super teams we are now getting to see compe ion again in the playoffs which is fun to see.
can you imagine exstatic back then?
i wouldnt trade alvin for him. media keeps anointing MJ but he's just a loser. he's 28 years old, league gave him a fake mvp to hype up the "new face" and despite all this and an aging celtics team he hasnt even made the finals once. why is this year going to be any different?
wow brunson started 2-2 and 0-10 since
Damn Thibodeau, always plays his starters hard to the end. Bas even combs the few hairs on the front of his head!
Come on akhi... ^^
MJ averaged 37 and 35ppg in his 3rd and 4th seasons!
All NBA in his rookie season
1988/his 4th season is the year MJ wins EVERTHING individually
I love ANT, he's my fav player by far but he's no MJ, he's actually pretty far from him in terms of character
We'll see but as of now Ant isn't in the same world imo.
Dort with the pathetic over the back and potential bad injury causing attack on Gafford.
No call.
WTF.
Im pulling for Okie but that was some b.s.
in the no zone era against supbar unathletic coked up shooting guards tbh
Not taking anything away from baldie though
Tony Brothers is as evil as Bavetta
I hope Brothers doesn't decide the game.
Next that blocking foul called on Donutcic seemed like more total b.s.
Lively absolutely destroying Holgrem.
Doncic
Media talking about Ant Edwards being like MJ but phuck....SGAs midrange fallways look like Jordan.
Player like pj washington is what the spurs need
Clutch basket after clutch basket
Man some of the teams in these playoffs make some bone headed plays lol
SGA and Ant are the strongest case for Castle ..
