Anthony Edwards has upset an entire generation of basketball stars.
The 23-year-old Timberwolves star ruffled feathersMichael Jordan was the only player with skill during his heyday from 1984 to 1996. Magic Johnson already ripped Edwards in response, saying he doesn't recognize comments from players who haven't won a championship. Now the greatest player in Timberwolves history, Kevin Garnett, is chiming in — and doing so with respect.
That's how Garnett respectfully ended his rant. It began with the Hall of Famer saying most players in the modern game couldn't handle playing in the NBA 20-25 years ago. Garnett said basketball in the '90s and early 2000s had a "different vibration" and would've been too physical for the modern NBA athlete.
"When you hear Michael Jordan and some of the greats talk about the different eras of play, the 80s was from the 70s, the 70s was different from the 60s, the 60s was different from the 50s. But in all of it, it had gamesmanship, it had aggressiveness," Garnett continued. "Half these can't even be in the locker room.
