Anthony Edwards is one of the NBA's brightest stars today. Despite the greatness he brings to the hardwood, he's still a young talent who has a lot of room for improvement. Apparently, he acknowledges being a student of the game and has called upon arguably the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. Ant asked MJ for advice on how to stay composed during a double-team situation.
While Jordan's advice to Edwards hasn't been revealed, fans couldn't help but react to Ant-Man calling on Jordan for basketball advice.
Here's what some said on Instagram:
"Asking a gambler advice on decision making is diabolical."

"He’s not this eras MJ. But absolutely a smart move taking pointers from the legend himself!"
Here are other reactions on Instagram.
"No no no. 90s ppl are sorry. You got all the answers. Don't call Mike now. Mike got doubled and tripled. No excuses," one said.
"Mike wouldn’t be able to give him good criticism cause he wasn’t being defended by anybody truly talented at his time in the 90’s 🤣. You better off asking Devin Booker 😂," one commented.
"Maybe ask players who actually get double teamed like james harden curry and Luka 😂😂," another commented.
"Wrong era .. it was damn near illegal to double team in Jordan’s era .. which we don’t speak about enough," another said.
Anthony Edwards breaks Karl-Anthony Towns' Timberwolves record
Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves blew out the Denver Nuggets 133-104 on Saturday night. A huge factor in the win was Ant-Man, who had 34 points and nine assists. He also shot 60.9%.
Aside from his scorching hot performance, Edwards broke a franchise record previously held by his former teammate, Karl-Anthony Towns. Edwards is now the Timberwolves' franchise leader for most career 3-pointers made suiting up for Minnesota.
Towns finished his career in Minnesota shooting a total of 975 3-pointers. Edwards concluded his game against the Nuggets with 976.
Considering how Minnesota has decided to run with Anthony Edwards as its main star, it wouldn't be surprising if the explosive guard would come up with an untouchable franchise record.
