Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards sparked controversy by claiming that only Michael Jordan had skill among past NBA players, which led to strong rebuttals from former legends like Magic Johnson, Kevin Garnett, and Isiah Thomas. Edwards' comments, made during an interview with the Wall Street Journal, were met with disdain, particularly from Magic Johnson, who dismissed Edwards for lacking a championship resume. Garnett emphasized the physicality of past generations while Thomas warned against believing in such 'propaganda'. Analysts and fans criticized Edwards for his lack of historical perspective, further fueling the generational debate in the NBA.
