Transcripts
today we're taking Anthony Edwards who
some say is the next Michael Jordan and
giving him the career of the man himself
but that's not all cuz we'll also be
taking MJ and sending him to the modern
NBA as an replacement on the Minnesota
Timberwolves giving both the chance to
rewrite their careers in each other's
eras and most importantly in each
other's shoes as this story starting off
with the Antman heading all the way back
to the 1985 season where only as a
rookie he's already a young star for the
Chicago Bulls as he would immediately
average around 22 points per game thanks
to an impressive array of acrobatic
plays and with a show like that and
those impressive stats it's no surprise
he's walking away as a rookie of the
year shout out to Ant-Man who was
somehow able to beat out Hakeem and
Charles Barkley for the rookie of the
year but if we jump almost 40 years into
the future we'd see Jordan make a
similar impact in his rookie season as
he would average a few more points to
finish with 2 four to also win the
Rookie of the Year just as ant did four
decades ago with the two clearly on
their way to multiple NBA championships
the challenge for today is simple Amman
will go first and win as many titles as
he can and then we'll head into the
future with Jordan to see if he can
clear that amount of championships in
the same amount of time there is a
little more at stake that we'll get to
later but for now you get the idea and
it's time to get to the action which
unfortunately for Ant-Man wouldn't
really be the good kind as as over his
first five seasons he would continually
be sent home Time and Time Again by
teams such as the Boston Celtics and
Detroit pist so it wouldn't be until
year number six until we'd see Ant-Man
all the way in the finals where he'd be
heading to Houston to potentially make
history if he can take down his toughest
opponent yet he's going up against the
Rockets he's going up against Hakeem
it's not going to be easy but what is
working in an's favor is history itself
as Jordan didn't make it to the finals
in real life until the 1991 season so
with Ant-Man in the finals in just 1990
he's actually ahead of Jordan's pace
which could work in his advantage and it
would be best illustrated by the first
two games of the finals where he would
outplay hakee taking a two Z lead to
start the series off however don't count
the Rockets out just yet as aluan would
quickly flip the series in his favor
taking Games 3 4 and five all in Chicago
now turning what was once a two lead for
Ant-Man into a 2 to3 deficit so a few
seconds ago andman was kind of on the
right side of history now it's looking
kind of cooked and with this series now
heading back to Houston and would try
his best to extend the series but in the
end with Hakeem on the other side this
one wouldn't be close as the Rockets
would hold on to a massive lead entering
the final few moments of the game
Ant-Man and the Bulls have ran out of
gaster down by 30 hakeem's in a basket
right on Q if it wasn't already over it
definitely is now so with that that the
Rockets would be adding a finnels loss
to an man's resume which is something
that never happened during Jordan's real
life NBA career and it's something that
will definitely come up when discussing
his legacy but while we're on the topic
let's take a quick look into MJ's second
NBA season where he would improve from
his first going up from 24 to 28 points
per game now forming a legitimate
dynamic duo with Carl Anthony towns
which is now thrusting the Timberwolves
into almost Championship contention
while they're not going to win it this
year year it seems like it's really only
a matter of time however to focus back
on it he would use the 1991 season as an
opportunity to bounce back and with the
help of Scotti Pippen who's been on the
team for a couple Seasons but just now
entering his own Prime the Bulls would
build upon last year's finals appearance
with ant Leading The Way with over 30
points per game to win his first of what
may be many League MVPs Ant-Man with his
first MVP most interestingly though 38%
from three he is bring bringing the
modern game to the 9s and his modern
three-point shooting would soon be put
to the test as the Bulls would be making
it to their second consecutive finals
this time heading to Hollywood where
he'll be challenging the Los Angeles
Lakers who are led by their franchise
player Magic Johnson one of the true
Legends of the sport and arguably the
face of the entire
league but in the end this series would
be the changing of the guards as the
older Magic Johnson would not be able to
keep up with the athleticism of young
Ant-Man and when you combine it with the
modern three-point shooting that he
brings to the table this one would be a
landslide as the Bulls would take a
commanding 3 to one lead in the series
no guarantees but it seems like the
Bulls are in good shape and close out
the Lakers on their home court all
driven by one last magical performance
from Antman who would eventually give
the Bulls a 30-point lead entering the
final moments of game five and with that
ant-man's like 10 seconds away from a
championship shout out to Magic he's
still trying but
it's not going to be enough but it would
be enough for Ant-Man to officially
stamp his name in the record books
Anthony Edwards and the Chicago Bulls
are the 1991 NBA champions with the man
himself of course walking away as the
finals MVP and of all of the titles that
we'll see today this first one may be
the most important cuz if we check in on
Jordan in the future he would be playing
out the 2023 season by Crossing 30
points per game solidifying himself as
one of if not the best player in the
league which will be absolutely crucial
if he wants to ultimately win this
competition as we'd see Ant-Man in the
finals for a third straight time with
title number two in sight as he's now
matching up against the Utah Jazz
featuring JN Stockton and the
questionable car Malone who wouldn't
stand a chance asir Edwards would dunk
his way to a second straight
championship and of course his second
straight Finals MVP now giving him the
chance just like Jordan in real life to
pull pull off a historic three repeat in
The Following season but in Jordan's
case back in 2023 it wouldn't be so
simple many people consider the modern
NBA as its most talented era and because
of that his road to a ring wouldn't be
so easy as his first deep playoff run
would ultimately be cut short all thanks
to Luca donic Kyrie Irving and the
Dallas Mavericks in the Western
Conference Finals they would send Jordan
and the Timberwolves home despite the
countless encouraging signs that he
showcased earlier but definitely do not
count him out just yet cuz it's only a
matter of time until he breaks through
in the meantime though let's shift back
to someone who has and is on the brink
of doing so yet again as we'd be seeing
Ant-Man make it to his four straight
finals in search of a three repeat up
against the Phoenix Sons were led by
Charles baru a legendary power forward
who can put up more than a fight with a
two-time champion But ultimately
wouldn't really have the chance to show
it as there's a reason why ant does have
those two titles and when you combine it
with the help of Scotty who to this
point is easily the best psychic in the
league the two would jump out in front
of the Suns with a two to1 lead making
it all but certain that eventually the
Bulls would be walking away as champions
again we are probably going to be
looking at a Chicago 3p however because
both MJ and ant-man's timelines have
been flipped it would not only change
their careers but also the relationships
between them and their peers as in real
life Charles Barkley has made it very
clear that he's a massive fan of ant
Anthony Edwards is letting everybody on
notice and I love it but in this reality
where the two are competitors it's safe
to say he doesn't feel the same way at
all you really think I give a fly as
despite the deficit the round Mount of
rebound would go right back at in as a
two to1 lead for the Bulls would quickly
evaporate as chuck would top the series
2 to2 Take the Lead at 2 to3 and
eventually come all the way back out
playing ant to win the championship 2 to
four no doubt at the moment you can say
that AE is the best in the league but at
the same time with two finals losses
under his belt he doesn't seem to be
invincible and to top it all off he'll
be retiring at least temporarily as just
like Jordan he'll be leaving the NBA for
the 1994 season to go play baseball and
by the time he returned around halfway
through the 1995 season it could really
only be used as a warm-up as the Bulls
would only win 42 games as the six seed
which obviously has no business
contending for a title so to save the
embarrassment let's move on to 1996
where Ant-Man and the Bulls would
officially return to Forum as a man
himself would win his second MVP on his
way to a 64- win season of course mostly
due to him but also because of the help
of Scotty as well as the new addition of
Dennis Rodman which would ultimately be
enough for another final's appearance
where for a second time an will have to
challenge Hakeem alijan for the title
and just as a reminder almost a decade
ago it was hakee who snatched ant's
potential first championship away and in
in the process eliminated the chance for
a Perfect finals record but this time it
would be completely different as a
Edwards would take control of the series
from game one and wouldn't let go as the
alltime defense of hakee wouldn't be
enough to stifle the League's best
player as eventually number 23 will be
raising up Championship number three
walking away with finals MVP number
three now at the top of the basketball
Mountain once again and if you happen to
be a bulls fan or just roooting for an
in general it's about to get even better
as it would give he and the team
momentum for the 1997 finals where
Ant-Man now a three-time MVP would find
himself up against Hall of Famer Gary
pton and the Seattle Sonics who wouldn't
stand a chance at all 4 to one that's
how the series would end which fittingly
gives Ant-Man his fourth title with only
one more season with the bulls remaining
but before we watch his last Dan let's
check in on Jordan who's now in 2024
where he would again as you would expect
average over 30 per game once again
leading the Timberwolves to the number
one seat in the west now looking like a
true Championship Contender which is
really good timing considering we're
about to focus on him exclusively in a
few moments but in the meantime we have
to be locked in on ant-man's last dance
with the bulls as he's now heading to
the finals again for a seventh time in
search of title number five but standing
in his way would not only be his
toughest opponent but toughest Duo yet
which is saying a lot considering he's
faced up against multiple Hall of Famers
during his time in the league to end his
career he ultimately have to close it
out by taking down the duo of Shaquille
O'Neal and Kobe Bryant who are a few
years ahead of schedule but still one of
the best Duos in the league Ant-Man and
the Bulls obviously have their hands
full with Shaq but they're also going up
against the next Anthony Edwards the way
the timeline played out we're going to
see Ant-Man against Kobe and it's safe
to say that while the original Anthony
Edwards could be counted on to outplay
his successor there's a very apparent
7ot one 300 lb issue that the Bulls
would not be ready for as while Ant-Man
would go off as he's done for over a
decade sha would be even better as while
the finals would eventually go to seven
games the NBA's newest Duo would take
control in their home court to deliver
the knockout punch to the Bulls Dynasty
cuz while the game would be slightly
close at the very end it's clear that
old Ant-Man and the Bulls have run out
of gas I'm going to sit through it but I
doubt they're about to come back and man
with the ball gets a screen from Rod
wide open for
three this one's over so with that Ed
man's going to be closing out his career
as a bull on a somber note however with
four championships and three MVPs under
his belt he is surely still finishing
his career as one of the greatest ever
also as a side note I mentioned the
Bulls specifically as he'll actually be
finishing his career as a Washington
Wizard but since they don't have any
chance for a title the final count will
stand at four with Michael Jordan now
being task winning five champion
ionships in the present day and Beyond
but before we get into Jordan's fourth
season and playoff run just as a
reminder Amman spent 14 Seasons with the
bulls meaning that MJ who's in year four
only has 10 years to win those five
titles but at the same time with his
aess in the league at his Peak he's at
least going to get a few as the 2024
finals would see the Wolves head into
Boston and eventually win the title
followed by the 2025 finals where they'd
head into Cleveland and do it all over
again so in a blink of an eye MJ is
already halfway at ant-man's title count
with a very good amount of time
remaining but the real challenge is yet
to begin as while he was winning those
championships the storm will be brewing
in San Antonio Texas as for the 2026
Western Conference Finals Air Jordan
would now be challenged for his throne
by Victor wanyama who's going to pose as
the largest threat to MJ and the Wolves
going forward obviously with the two
championships MJ is the face of the
league but if it's going to be anyone
else it's going to be wemi so with a
trip to the finals on the line we would
see the overwhelming size of wemi clash
with the all-time scoring punch of MJ
and when you combine it with their Elite
supporting casts it would make it no
surprise to see the series start off
with a 2 to2 tie now leading us into an
intense game five in Minnesota which
would continue to be a back and forth
until the very end where we'd see a tie
game with 3 minutes left and keep in
mind whoever whoever wins game five
historically wins the series so it's
safe to say that a trip to the finals is
on the line Rob Dillingham with the ball
I'm assuming it's about to go to wemi
he's about to swing it to someone else
it's about to be Vel no I thought he was
going to hand it off oh my God what a
shot he shot that one over goar as well
that is a tall task although it is Wy
the tallest player in the league
literally Jordan with the ball driving
Baseline the pump fake he takes a
floater a floater that's the shot he
took okay here we go rob Dillingham with
the ball they're about to give another
touch to wemi wemi with the jab step
driving left to the same spot where he
made the shot earlier goar with the stop
Minnesota still down by two with about 2
minutes left 2 minutes and some change
they throw it over to MJ this is what we
want to see both stars getting the ball
getting touches down the stretch the
pivot he smokes the layup he grabs his
own board he's probably he misses two in
a row okay I was about to say if he
missed three in a row or actually would
have been before considering the shot he
missed on the other possession right
before about to throw it down to wemi no
they deny the pass Rob Dillingham for
three goar with the board move it that
throwing some elbows not really throwing
some elbows kind of hyping it up for no
reason half spin by Jordan good defense
from vasel they pass it over to Conley
had a little bit of space turned it down
Jordan driving trying to bully vasel
that's going to go yep here we go
two-point lead for Minnesota wemi is the
one bringing up the ball he's not even
wor he is calling the play he's not even
going to give his teammates the chance
to get the ball
he's that's a crazy shot oh my God ran
out of words couldn't even describe it
Jordan with the ball top of the key we
have an ISO back to back isos for Jordan
and the slam will the Spurs feed wemi or
is somebody going to take the shot they
feed wemi here we go tie game very
important game five obviously whoever
wins it is probably most likely going to
advance in the finals with how game five
usually works
that is the most ugly play I have ever
seen what obviously as you just saw San
Antonio called the timeout both teams
have a million going down the stretch so
apparently goar just got goar just got I
don't I can't speak I can't speak we
have a tie game Minnesota just called a
timeout I don't know listen man I don't
know why I'm just laying an egg here on
the commentary somebody get Mike Breen
the spin the pivot oh my God we are
watching the greatest game five in NBA
history another timeout backto back
action no breaks they're about to throw
it into wemi yeah here we go is it going
to be an ISO or they going to no it's
going to be an ISO they flatten it out
driving left he made a shot from there
earlier goar with the stop oh they foul
goar but as everyone would expect from
Rudy goar he would go to the line and
drain both the free throw setting the
Spurs up for one final possession where
they would make a very questionable
decision what just happened Devon Vel
had an open look to officially end the
game and give Minnesota a commanding 3
to2 lead in the series which would give
them momentum to one close out the Spurs
on their home court to advance to the
finals and two take care of the Orlando
Magic in the finals easily to win Jordan
Championship number three MJ is on an
absolutely dominant run which should be
no surprise really and just like that MJ
is now one title away from tying up
amman's career total and with plenty of
momentum by his side it wouldn't be long
before he did it again as for the 2027
finals he'd be right back in Orlando for
a second straight time where he would
once again take over to win championship
number four now tying him up with a but
once again the main obstacle in his way
would be wemi as the 2028 Western
Conference Finals would be a rematch
between the two stars with even more on
the line as wemi is still searching for
a championship of his own and his put in
a ton of work to make that a possibility
we have wemi against Jordan part two and
wemi has also hit 99 overall so it's
definitely going to be way harder than
their first matchup which would
ultimately explain the pummeling that
Jordan would experience at the hands of
wemi as this one would be a resounding 4
to1 victory for the Spurs who would
eventually go on to win the title a few
weeks later but most importantly it now
brings up a serious question with only 5
years left for MJ to secure one more
title can wemi be the one to prevent it
there's only one way to find out as a
2029 season would for a third time
feature a Minnesota San Antonio
Conference Finals with Jordan now
looking for Revenge but of course it's
not going to be easy as wemy is arguably
the League's best player with a
combination of sizon skill the NBA has
never seen before so while it would be
MJ with the slight edge with a 3 to2
lead in the series the job is far from
finished as he would have to try to
close out the series on the road with
the Wolves down by two in the final 2
minutes of game six which on the surface
doesn't seem to be too difficult until
you consider the desperation wemi would
be playing with to force game 7 so it's
safe to say that MJ's success is still
far from a guarantee I'm assuming
they're running the play for Jordan here
we go good post up he didn't even try to
post up he should have I thought he was
going to post up just rushed a shot for
no reason sharp with the ball being
guarded by MJ wmi in the post being
guarded by cat this one's not going to
end well not too sure what wmi just did
though but somehow it's going to work Wy
just pulled a Julian Newman in the paint
and still somehow San Antonio just
scored they throw it down to Jordan in
the paint there we go that's more like
it two-point deficit for
Minnesota goar gets a stop he's been on
the team the whole time he's pushing 40
he probably has a secret recipe to guard
wemi who fouls Jordan I would assume
that he makes both it's probably a
forgone conclusion first one's good
second free throw for Jordan is also
good we have a tie game with a minute
and a half left Rob Dillingham with the
ball gets the screen from wemi who
actually doesn't even set the screen he
slips right away is that a charge that's
a CH goar with two straight
defensive defensive Master Class kind of
forgetting how to speak while watching
these jumpins Jordan to the basket he
makes the layup contested layup yeah I
don't know what's wrong with the
commentary but we have a good game on
our hands wemi brings it up yet again
being guarded by goar who's played
fantastic defense w with the Julian
Newman again and he makes the layup okay
they throw it in to number 16 Carrington
they're about to pass it over to MJ I
see him moving off the ball trying to
get something going they just pass it
down to him he takes a contested layup
and makes it Jordan has completely Abend
in the fade away in favor for just pump
faking at the basket 43 seconds left San
Antonio down by two they just called the
timeout Wy gets the ball he's about to
yep here we go with the hand I don't
know what's going on right now fantastic
defense from goar again goar might win
Finals MVP even though or oh my god wow
that was such a crazy statement that I
just wow I mentioned a goar Finals MVP
one time and I started coughing that
should tell you how crazy of a statement
that was here we go does he have one
more stop in him no he fouls him of
course Wy hit the first free throw to
make it a three-point game now to make
it a two-point game the second free
throw is up and it's good Minnesota is
not going to call a timeout here and it
looks like they're setting up for Jordan
to take the free throws get the ball and
get fouled or they going to pass it to
the oh they're going to pass it to the
young player number 16 Carrington at the
line not really like he might be a good
free throw shooter but we want to see MJ
at the line here although to his
credit he made both okay here we go trip
to the finals on the line One Stop away
from Minnesota Jordan with a chance to
go to the finals looking for his fifth
Championship the three is up it's good
San Antonio is still alive and they
finally fouled Jordan this time Jord
with a chance to seal it he is going to
make both free throws no timeouts left
for San Antonio will we be going to
overtime Dillingham with the ball 6
seconds left 5 seconds left the spin
move pumping oh my God that's good he
missed it goar with the board goar with
the board goar just put the team on his
back and he's about to hit the free
throw unbelievable and it's only right
that goar would hit the second free
throw to close the door on the MJ wemi
rivalry to advance the te- Wolves onto
the the finals where they' go up against
the Cavs but just as it was in his other
four finals appearances it would be MJ
well ahead of the field with slam after
slam then she winning the championship
to clear the bar set by ant to win the
competition five titles to four and
that's not to discredit ant's
accomplishments at all as he's still
walking away as a legend in his own
right but when it comes down to it the
original Michael Jordan is still walking
away as the greatest of all time
