MAGIC JOHNSON SHUTS DOWN ANTHONY EDWARDS’ CLAIM THAT ONLY MICHAEL JORDAN POSSESSED SKILLS DURING THEIR ERA

Anthony Edwards stated that Michael Jordan was the only NBA player who “really had skill,” but Magic Johnson doesn’t pull any punches in his response.

Twenty-three-year-old NBA player Anthony Edwards recently said that NBA Hall of Fame legend Michael Jordan was the only NBA player who “really had skill.” Another NBA Hall of Famer, Magic Johnson, responded with a statement that should keep comments like that from coming out of Edwards’ mouth.

In a recent Wall Street Journal article, the Minnesota Timberwolves player said he didn’t get a chance to watch NBA games from earlier years, yet said that although people say it was tougher to play in earlier years, he disagreed with players having skills back then.

“I didn’t watch it back in the day, so I can’t speak on it,” he told the media outlet. “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 only one that really had skill, you know what I mean? So that’s why when they saw Kobe [Bryant], they were like, ‘Oh, my God.’ But now everybody has skill.”
