And Magic can say that because he's the ONLY person ever to win a high school championship, next year college championship, next year NBA championship.

100% jordan takes ants comments more disrespectful towards his peers in that era than towards himself. Jordan has just as much love for the greats during his generation as before his

[coopericus]

Anthony Edwards, mad talented, like the young man. If he had only just stopped after his first sentence, everything would've been good. Humility is a virtue long lost these days.

[WessCoast]

KG and Paul Pierce response to Edwards comments was spot on.

[KevinHernandez-qzsb]

Youngsters gotta be humbled every now and then. 🤣

At 48 years old maybe I'm old but what do these gen-z and millennials mean the NBA players today are more skilled? I saw Dr. J, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, Duncan, Dominique Wilkins, Isiah Thomas, Barkley, David Robinson, Kevin Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Kobe, Carter, D.Wade, K.Malone, Gary Payton, Garnett, Mark Price, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Dale Ellis, Sidney Moncrief etc.

Defense is a skill. Noone has defense today.

[kimbo]

His PR team must have anxiety attacks everytime he speaks smh

[the-starreview]

Ant Man likes to run his mouth a little too much. He is a social media baby though

[nobleskywalker]

So first he says I can't speak on it cause I didnt watch it... then proceeds to speak on it SEE THE DILEMA HERE??!!!!

[jaerock]

DAMN I HATE THAT IT HAD TO BE ANT MAN THO

[offthedome]

I don’t even think Anthony Edward is even up there with those legends, he just started making noise 😂

[nqhrbbl]

😂😂 Magic Johnson play no games with the come to his legacy🤷🏿💯💯🖤

[richardsong]

lmao SAS tryna side step his way outta the picture when he instigated it.

[sediepremps]

You say i can't speak on it and proceed to speak on it smh

[bfgolf]

Ant doesn't need to do this to get attn, making himself look childish. He wants to be taken seriously among the big dogs, he needs to quit acting like a pup

[howiie]

There is honestly no excuse for Ant to not have seen the games from the past since many of the finals series are available from the NBA. Being in the league there is no way he couldn't get access.

[sherelldavis]

Those players would never make a uninformed statement like that

[tompratt]

Followed the league closely since the late 60's. I'm always disappointed at how completely ignorant younger players and fans are about the history of the league and the players that made the league. Ant strikes me as a good guy that doesn't mean to do harm with his constant incredibly stupid comments. But at some point he has to put a filter on his mouth and learn how to think before he says yet another shockingly stupid thing. He's only 23 but there are tons of NBA players 23 and younger and I don't hear any of them talking like a fool on a regular basis. Not an age thing. This is an ignorant and arrogant person that needs some guidance. If he'll take it.

The league was tougher back then. Not only did they have skill back then, but it was a “Grown Man’s”league back then. Don’t even let me get started on the “load management” of today smh. #IfYouTrippingWasAPerson
