$80 million worth Andre Iguodala hilariously tells Dwyane Wade how Miami Heat is the perfect destination for Anthony Edwards

Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala was in complete awe of the Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, comparing him to Dwyane Wade.

The 1st pick in the 2020 draft, Anthony Edwards, is a superstar in the making. Nicknamed Ant-Man, the Wolves guard has the hops and can shoot the ball too. While he did have a slow start, the 6ft 4′ guard’s poster dunk on the 6ft 9′ Yuta Watanabe brought him into the limelight, after which there was no looking back.

In what many believe, Edwards was more deserving than LaMelo Ball, who won the ROTY award. Nonetheless, this didn’t bother the Ant-Man, who publicly stated his priority was winning the MVP award. In his sophomore year, the T-Wolves guard showcased his elite scoring ability, earning him comparisons to the GOAT Michael Jordan.

The latest member to join the Edwards fan club is former Finals MVP and four-time champion Andre Iguodala. The Warriors veteran, who recently had Dwyane Wade as a guest on his podcast, revealed how the Ant-Man reminded him of Flash, adding that all the former needed was two months of Miami basketball.
