Just to add to this dumb take by Edwards: When he mentioned that when we saw Kobe, we were amazed, indirectly he is also attacking the players who were alongside Kobe's era (Duncan, Iverson, Carter, Wade, Pierce, Allen, Shaq, Dirk, even Lebron). So Edwards just threw a dumpster fire. He has lost tons of respects from the old school and even the 2000s fans. Dumb and ignorant take by someone who has not achieved anything in this sport.

Being the greatest 3-point shooter of all time doesn't make him the greatest point guard. He's just the greatest 3-point shooter. If his shot isn't falling then you want someone else in there at pg.

JORDAN IS G.O.A.T Today's NBA players couldn't deal with 30 years ago....

Someone talks too much when he was gassed in the playoffs and can't even preserve his body to the entire playoffs 😏😏 now you're talking about skills?

I've thrown my two cents into this ring before on KG and Paul Pierce's podcast, but Anthony Edwards' knack for stirring the pot has got me typing again. Here's the thing about Edwards, he's got this vibe, right? He loves to get under the skin, and whether you love it or hate it, it's part of what makes him, him. Now, diving into this debate about old school vs. new school NBA, it's like comparing the best wines from different vineyards. Each era has its flavor. Today's game? It's faster, more spread out, and the three-point line might as well be the new free-throw line. But let's not forget what we've lost: that gritty, in-the-paint battle, the art of the mid-range jumper, and yes, a bit of that old-school physicality. The legends, though? They had something special, an adaptability that's often overlooked. Imagine Magic orchestrating today's fast breaks, Bird with today's spacing, or Jordan, well, being Jordan in any era. They'd not just play; they'd thrive. They adapted back then to rule changes, to new strategies, and they'd do it now. But here's where I land on this: it's not about which era is better. It's about respect and understanding evolution. Edwards has every right to speak his mind, but with that comes the responsibility to face the music, or in this case, the legends' rebuttals. Today's stars shine bright, but let's not dim the light of those who paved the way. Basketball evolves, and so does its greatness. Let's not pit eras against each other but appreciate them for what they are. Each generation builds on the last, adding layers to this beautiful game. So, while Edwards stirs the pot, let's remember: Greatness in basketball isn't bound by time, it's defined by impact, and that, my friends, is truly sublime.
