Anthony Edwards is quickly becoming well-known, especially after winning a gold medal in the Olympics in Paris earlier this month.
The 2020 No. 1 overall pick has lived up to the hype, scoring a career-high 25.9 points per game on average during the previous campaign in addition to massive, highlight-worthy dunks.
With his assistance, the Minnesota Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Final and are certain to make a deep run in the postseason once more.
That in and of itself is a feat, but according to Edwards, he is accomplishing all of this during the greatest basketball era ever.
He actually went one better with it.
Edwards recently told the Wall Street Journal, “They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don’t think anybody had skill back then.”
Michael Jordan was the first person that immediately came to mind, but according to Edwards, he was the “only one that really had skill.”
That explains why they exclaimed, “Oh my God,” when they saw Kobe [Bryant]. However, talent is now universal,” Edwards remarks.
Isiah Thomas, a Hall of Famer, wasn’t overly pleased with Edwards’ remarks.
In an X post, Thomas stated, “Be careful what you choose to believe—propaganda works.”
The argument will undoubtedly never end, but Edwards—possibly biased—has made his point.
