Magic Johnson Criticizes Anthony Edwards' NBA Comments

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has faced backlash after claiming that outside of Michael Jordan, there were no skilled players in the NBA before the 2000s. Magic Johnson, a Hall of Famer, publicly criticized Edwards on Jimmy Kimmel Live, suggesting he should consult his family about past players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Larry Bird before making such statements. Johnson emphasized that Edwards, who has yet to win an NBA championship, should focus on improving his game rather than disparaging the legends of the sport. The comments have sparked outrage among fans, analysts, and former players who feel Edwards' perspective is uneducated. As the Timberwolves prepare for their Media Day, it remains to be seen if Edwards will address the criticism or apologize for his remarks.
