NBA Legend Magic Johnson didn’t hold back in his latest comments.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards recently spoke about the quality of the players from the 1990s in an interview with The Wall Street Journalsaying he didn’t think anyone had any skills at the time.
“I didn’t watch it at the time, so I can’t speak to that,” Edwards said. “They say it was harder then than it is now, but I don’t think anyone had that talent back then. [Michael Jordan] was the only one who really had talent, you know what I mean? That’s why when they saw Kobe [Bryant]They were like, “Oh, my God.” But now, everyone has skills.
Johnson, the The Los Angeles Lakers The icon recently responded to Edwards’ thoughts on noleash.tv, criticizing the 23-year-old for his lack of rings through basketball.
“I never answer a guy who’s never won a championship,” Johnson said. “… He hasn’t won a college championship, I don’t even know if he’s won a high school championship.”
Edwards, the first overall pick in the 2020 draft, just led the Timberwolves to their best postseason run since 2003-04.
Minnesota reached the conference finals, but lost 4-1 to the The Dallas Mavericks.
Edwards recently won his first Olympic gold in Paris where he played a key role on the bench, even though he is still waiting for his first NBA ring.
