'Can Jordan defend you?' he asked. Then Anthony Edwards said 'Hell nah'

Wolf Corps Minnesota Timberwolves ace Edwards is a rising NBA superstar. He is the league's top shooting guard.

After sharpening himself with off-season training, he became Minnesota's core ace.

It reminds me of Michael Jordan with his strong athletic ability, classic moves, and exquisite fade-away shots. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, he said, `Please don't compare yourself to Michael Jordan. He said the best player of all time.

It's a respectful part. However, excessive confidence and the straightforward interviews that come with it are always 'controversial'.

Apart from respect for Jordan, NBA players in the 1990s and players in the current generation have a clear technical difference.

Therefore, I respect Jordan, but when it comes to one-on-one (whether Jordan can defend himself), Jordan answered that he could never stop him.

He gave a very controversial answer in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal. When asked to compare the NBA players of the previous generation with the players of the current generation, he made a gist remark that there are no players with skills except Michael Jordan.

In other words, it meant that there was a clear difference between the technological development of modern basketball and its skills.

Then, NBA legends immediately protested.

CBS Sports reported that while speaking at an event in Los Angeles, "L.A. Lakers legend Magic Johnson said, 'I never react to anyone who has never won a championship.'"

Edwards has never won a championship in the NBA.

The outlet reported that Edwards led Minnesota to the Western Conference finals last season at the age of 23. He did not lead the University of Georgia to a championship. However, he still has plenty of opportunities.
