His comments have caused a reaction from both “old hands” and his contemporaries. Like Magic Johnson before him, Paul George also spoke out about Anthony Edwards' recent statements, who claimed that the league of the Michael Jordan era was less talented.
In his podcastthe new Sixers winger said at first he didn't understand what his counterpart was trying to say. He still understood the point enough to find it ” quite disrespectful to the game “, even evoking ” a very immature comment “.
” Anthony Edwards is clearly very talented and a great talent for the future, but you have to recognise how far the game has come and how much credit should be given to those who have moved the game forward before us. “, wants to greet the winger.
This one thinks that ” That's where the line between that era and his is. They don't know much about Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. As a player, you have to know these guys. »
A lack of basketball “culture” in Anthony Edwards then? Or is it simply calculated provocation that the Wolves guard can sometimes display? Anthony Edwards thought that there was no ” so much talent ” in the 1980s-1990s and that ” Michael Jordan was the only one with great qualities. […] Now everyone has talent. » « He should have fully explained what he was trying to say ” regrets Paul George.
