Anthony Edwards has been compared to Michael Jordan quite a bit over the past year or so, but that has largely been because of his exploits on the basketball court. The two are similarly sized, similarly explosive shooting guards that take pride in their defense and were drafted by teams that hadn't won a championship yet.

Long before he rose to NBA stardom with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards was a youth football star. He says he might one day take a shot at the NFL.

Star guard Anthony Edwards reveals what he wants to do next if they win the NBA Championship within the next 3-4 years.

Even without his frequent daring remarks, his showstopping play on the basketball court would be enough to make him one of the most talked about athletes in the world. Yet he wouldn't be "Ant-Man" without his venturesome personality attached to his high-flying game.

Extreme confidence in oneself is a prerequisite to making a living as a professional athlete, and there is perhaps no professional athlete across all sports who visibly embodies that as much as Anthony Edwards.
