Jordan had to deal with something similar to Edwards early in his career when he faced the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons were super physical with him and made sure to put a body on him anytime he went to the rim. Jordan came back the following season and found a way to combat that physical play, and was able to dominate them for years.
Brandon Jennings explained why Anthony Edwards' future is uncertain, especially after the Timberwolves' KAT trade.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards made NBA history in arguably his team's best performance of the season. With less than 7 minutes remaining in a dominant 133-104 win over the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 25, Edwards floated back to the logo where he took a pass from Mike Conley and released a jumper from 32 feet.

The Timberwolves fumbled it all, says Kendrick Perkins, due to their decision to trade away Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks.
Twice this season they’ve beaten Denver. Minnesota has been stellar offensively on both occasions. It all stems from Edwards. Denver simply doesn’t have an answer for the guard. The Nuggets don’t have a premier perimeter defender to deter Edwards, nor do they have a rim protector to make him think twice about being aggressive.
The fans at a sold-out Target Center got to witness the Wolves put together their best offensive showing of the season. And as a cherry on top, Denver's Hunter Tyson missed a pair of free throws in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, resulting in free Chick-fil-A for all. The crowd went absolutely crazy.
After struggling for multiple injuries lately, fans are worried if Karl-Anthony Towns will play against the Minnesota Timberwolves or not.
This season, Anthony Edwards is currently averaging 4.2 3PM per game while shooting 42.5% from deep. Only three players have averaged 4+ 3PM on 40+ 3P% across an entire season: Stephen Curry (7x), Klay Thompson (1x), and Damian Lillard (1x). https://t.co/AJBEhuj10Y pic.twitter.com/U3zXUjzRxh
Anthony Edwards' third 3-pointer Saturday was No. 976 of his career, passing Karl-Anthony Towns for the most in Timberwolves history.
Brunson and Towns represent the first pair of Knicks teammates to start in the All-Star Game since 1975, when Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Walt “Clyde” Frazier donned the orange and blue.
With Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined with a sprained right thumb — and as The Post first reported, also a bone chip in the same digit — the Knicks flushed a 16-point first-half lead before barely pulling out a 125-119 overtime win Wednesday night over the Sixers at Wells Fargo Center.
