A few days ago, during an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Anthony Edwards sparked a huge debate in the NBA by saying Michael Jordan was the only skilled player in previous generations which included names such as Magic Johnson or Larry Bird.
āI didnāt watch it back in the day. So, I canāt speak on it. They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I donāt think anybody had skill back then. Michael Jordan was the only one that really had skill. You know what I mean? So, thatās why when they saw Kobe, they were like, āOh, my God.ā But now everybody has skill.ā
Now, as a legend of great teams for the Los Angeles Lakers, Magic got tired of this type of comments. Itās all a direct consequence of the gold medal hype for a new version of Team USA led by LeBron James and Stephen Curry in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
What did Anthony Edwards say about Michael Jordan?
After Anthony Edwards said Michael Jordan was the only āskilledā player from previous generations, Magic Johnson had a huge answer for the star of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
āYou know, I just never respond to a guy that has never won a championship. Thereās really nothing to say. He didnāt win a college championship. I donāt know if he even won a high school championship.ā
