The older generation is snapping back at NBA star Anthony Edwards after the 23-year-old said he did not think 'anybody had skill back then.'
Anthony Edwards is not making many friends in NBA circles. The 2020 first overall pick threw some shade recently at the previous generations of NBA players, saying he did not think 'anybody,' except Michael Jordan, had 'skill.' 'They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don't think anybody had skill back then,' Edwards recently told the Wall Street Journal. 'So that's why when they saw Kobe , they were like, 'Oh, my God.
Let me tell y'all something, bro,' Garnett continued. 'Twenty years ago you couldn't get to a triple step-back, and then if you shot that s--- it had to go in. You know why? We had efficiency back in the day, my dude. It was so f---ing hard, it was too physical. The league had to come off of it for the flow of movement to be able to have scoring go up, which is why we like to sit here and watch the rat race of the high-paced game.
Edwards also shot a career-high 46.7% from the floor in the 2023-24 campaign, while his 5.1 assists were the most of his career. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
