Anthony Edwards GETS DESTROYED BY MAGIC JOHNSON

[@MR.__G]

We need to start calling out this “skill”…. Traveling and carrying the ball while the defender is handicapped with no real rim protectors in the paint isn’t skill. These players are taking 3-4 steps on the perimeter and on drives. They’re palming the ball right in front of the refs. They’re shuffling their feet before even dribbling the ball. They’re constantly picking up their pivots. All of this is illegal but the worst commissioner ever “Adam silver” made it okay for the nba to get away with this. The product is the worst it’s ever been. This is not basketball, this is closer to a globe trotters game. Bring back the rules of the game please !!

How about defensive skills, Ant? Magic is constantly criticized for being a poor defender, but he was below average FOR HIS ERA and dwarfed your abilities. Ant has a career net-negative DRtg (when on the floor, he allows more points than he scores) and negative DBPM. His PER last season was 36th in the league, behind Jonas Valančiūnas and Trae Young. And don't give me "Magic was surrounded by ATG defenders, so he was bailed out" as Ant plays on the number 1 ranked defense in the NBA and still underperforms. These analytics aren't an end-all-be-all, but they're the most empirical method to judge skill and production (PER in particular). It's incredible how Shaq and others anointed him the MVP because of his flashy plays and bloated stats.

Same here. He showed his true colors. Muted, dusty yellow.

[@kkbaby30]

I think the driving force of this disrespect started in the late 90s to early 2000s when the NBA started changing the rules and/or enforcing them. That led to older fans no longer enjoying and becoming critical of the new brand of basketball that resulted in the 2010s, onwards. The younger generation got tired of hearing about how the new game was watered-down and began disrespecting the past with the "no skill" and "plumbers" narrative. It's the league's actions that led to this whole mess. They should've never altered the game so much.

[@anthonyhernandez2111]

basketball was my first love. watched it obsessively from 97-2014ish..i can say sadly i no longer watch the NBA or care like I used to. this level of toxicity and ignorance from younger players and fans have soured the game and made it pathetic to watch (no defense, no respect). Gone are the days of Kobe, VC, Garnett etc admiring the past greats and treated with respect. shame

[@antonioarias8920]

Yo también el ultimo jugador que podría decir que mantuvo la NBA viva fue KOBE . Ya no pierdo mi tiempo mirando ese circo de jugadores

[@taylorr6350]

When you write off those that came before you (in anything really) you’re actually just hurting yourself by not being open to other ways of doing and seeing things. There’s wisdom there that you’re missing out on and you’re the one that suffers.

[@miguelcastorena4360]

without Magic, Bird, Jordan or Kobe there would be no Edward or any of this overrated, over pompous and arrogant players, I feel bad that they are somehow the spawn of such a great era of players, I can't hardly watch a full game this days without having the urge to vomit.

[@indyspotes3310]

Rules changes adversely affecting the style of play have been driving older fans away for years now. Mostly because they know how the game should be played but isn't. They know because they saw far greater players than Edwards will ever be do it the right way. "It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt"

[@shango7942]

And he also belittled MJ by labeling him with just "skills." This is coming from a player who hasn't really accomplished anything really in the NBA. No scoring title, no assist title, no steals title, didn't started in the All Star game, hasn't been to the Finals and now he's talking like he's an all time great, please. Humble yourself young man, and learn about the history of the game and it's players, since you're representing the league.

[@Mandozen]

Edwards didn’t even win Rookie of the Year. It was Lamelo Ball who won ROTY in their draft class.

[@shango7942]

@@Mandozen Oh, thanks for the correction. I'll update my comment. Cheers.

[@rossdarthviper5635]

If you say MJ is the only one with skills back in his era, then any accomplishments made by MJ is garbage. I grew up watching Akeem, Magic, Bird and DR.J. MJ is great only because of his competition. He played against the best. It was harder to score in MJ's era than today.

Magic is guilty tho, he is one of the Klutch guys that propped up the Lebron agenda, just like KG, Paul Pierce and others. Now theyre upset that theyre getting disrespected too

[@ezjones3646]

My point exactly. Many modern day players who know better has been pushing this narrative for years and nobody says anything to him. It makes them look weak to take the opinion of a kid born in 2001s opinion. It’s just corny and backwards to me.

Lebron disappointed Magic. In any case Magic recently put Kobe over Lebron.😊l

So weird how basketball is the only sport where the old generation is constantly disrespected

[@rudimerm7686]

I am tired of people comparing Anthony to MJ. I never saw it. His footwork is sloppy, his dunks lack grace, his movement lacks fluidity, he has small hands, and he does not have the lift on his jumpshot. Sheeple will repeat anything that the media puts out.

[@bonesawisready2865]

Once he Ant talked his stuff those Jordan son takes stopped 😂

[@Dapper_Dean]

Certain stars and incels today, just don't be thinking before they talk. Their huge social media following, has made them conceited. Lebronica is the worst of them, crowning himself the GOAT. Humbleness is a fading trait. It reminds me of a part in the movie 'White Men Can't Jump', when Woody was talking about Wesley emphasizing looking good 1st, before winning.

[@leechrec]

Ignorant and disrespectful is a terrible combination.

[@ndub4014]

Yes, and the unwillingness to not only do something about it but revel in (ignorance) it. These guys don't really love the game just the paycheck. They should be going back and studying the history of. this great game and using what they learn to be better.

[@Njajen]

I feel like this entire skill question is something that is underplayed on both sides. There are so many of the oldschool players, the greats among them - that enjoy talking down the newer generation also. I'm just tired of all this comparison to this magnitude. Oldschool players would struggle in todays NBA and current players would struggle in the old NBA also. The rules have changed so much over the lifespan of the game, especially in the NBA. Can't we all just appreciate greatness no matter how it's presented? It's amazing seeing Magic and Bird seeing the way they played. Just like how it's amazing seeing AI and Curry play. Even seeing such polar opposite centers such as Shaq and Jokic! We need to appreciate all these different playstyles. Everyone can't approach the game the same way and we need to appreciate greatness period.

[@Batman12810]

That opening may have been the sickest 10 second highlight reel I ever watched, ha!

[@bigjermboktown6976]

This is the same guy everybody was comparing to Jordan several months ago... And if everybody these days has got so much skill why can't they get people to watch like they did 20/30 years ago. Back when the NBA was the most popular sport and now they can't even hold a candle to the NFL

[@TheRimasyele]

Ayooooooo 😅😅😅😅😅😅 you killed the intro with the highlights

[@JonEffinZoidberg]

It's not social media causing this... It's 100% the media and youtube focusing on who the GOAT is. No other sport focuses so heavily on who the top 5 of all time are and constantly ranks players instead of teams.

[@icarus8471]

What happened in the NBA is that by the 90s teams began to play a very physical style which made the game very intense and defensive. Finals were being decided in the 70-80 point range. When Michael left for good the NBA panicked and completely gutted the rules that made defense possible. Guys now never get touched, drive to the basket unimpeded, never get knocked down. and the 3 second rule removed all the rim protectors from the game. Then add to that that now everyone hangs out at the 3 point line and threes have become overemphasized. The net effect of this is a skill deterioration and and overvaluing stats in a less challenging game.

[@Dantana773]

Social media and lack of basketball history plays a part in young players and fans making statements like Ant Man did.

[@urbaindelva7869]

By talking about Ant's lack of a championship, which had no relevance to the topic? I love Magic, but come one.

[@23ofSeptember]

Magic would dominate if he played in this era. His passing skills are not seen in todays game. Players today get assists for dishing out to a wide open guy standing in the corner. Its a different game, but most stars in the 80s and 90s would still be stars today, even better maybe.

This is so rudiculous. I can't think of any other sport where young players love publicly talking crap about older players. In Football i never hear nonsense like Lawrence Taylor can't be better than Micah Parsons or Reggie White can't be better than Myles Garrett because they played in the 80's and 90's. If the older players had no skill Hakeem wouldn't have made so much post-NBA money teaching so many younger players hus footwork and techniques. Also extra points for the Boondocks clip.

[@GtheGreat1]

The problem is lebron and the goat debate. Him and his fans have to tear down past eras and players to prop him up. This is why we only see this disrespect for past eras in the NBA. The reason I blame lebron is because he is disrespectful towards past eras. He could easily tell his media puppets to calm it down and show respect for past players, but he won't. He indirectly CO signed everything disresepctful JJ Reddick said by starting a podcast with him and then getting him a job as the lakers head coach. Thank you for all the hard work that you do UC

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

It took Jordan years to win. Magic took over the league the day he came. He did the same in High School and College too.

[@Herosennin]

Yea it also took years before MJ got a solid second option and before Pippen even became a real all star, since he was a fringe all star the first year they won the chip and not an all star the next year, MJ already had won a double. Magic had Kareem, Worthy, Scott and multiple great names like Bob McAdoo, Thompson, Green, Cooper etc from the get go. Give MJ who was scoring 37 a game and recording playoff scoring records vs dynasties that squad and he'd had won a chip a lot quicker too especially considering the West was actually the weaker conference during the 80's and 90's(and never again after lol). Not to talk down on Magic who was extraordinarily good. Just saying your take on MJ is wrong. Especially when Bird didnt need a single chip to call MJ the best player he had ever seen in MJ's second season(!) and both Magic as Isaiah called him the GOAT after 2 PEATING let alone 3 and let alone having two 3 peats. You can find the interviews of Isaiah, Magic and Bird saying this on youtube.

What exactly makes Ant special compared to most NBA Stars anyway? He's just being proped up cause he's young, athletic and most notably American. Other than that what makes him stand out? He's brash and outspoken? That's not what I look for in a Superstar. Didn't even won the Rookie of the year against LaMelo Ball. Did he break records? He hasn't done anything worth noting. Face of the league. What utter bull!!
