The Minnesota Timberwolves star, Anthony Edwards, has made controversial comments about Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, sparking widespread discussion. Many NBA players, fans, and analysts have already shared their opinions about Edwards’ strong statements regarding the players and competition Jordan faced during his professional career. In addition to criticism from other players, a former NBA player has also slammed Edwards for his statement.

During a recent appearance on The Sheed & Tyler Show, American basketball coach Rasheed Wallace responded to Anthony Edwards, stating that Edwards is not even better than Derrick McKey.

 

“At this point in [Anthony Edwards’] career, he’s not better than a Derrick McKey, he’s not better than a Grant Hill, he’s not better than a Scottie Pippen. I’m talking both sides of the ball. Derrick McKey was a defender, and he would give you a solid 14, 16, 18, and he was a solid defender. [Ant] Is improving, but he’s not that defender yet.” Wallace said.

Wallace’s statement sparked debate among basketball fans, who began expressing their opinions in the comment section of the post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

One fan hilariously supported Edwards, saying, “Anthony Edwards is now in his Legend Killer arc after triggering all these old heads with his comment that only MJ was skilled back then.”

Meanwhile, another fan said, “Nobody cares about Rasheed Wallace in 2024. These oldheads are salty.”

Another fan criticized Wallace, “I had a chance to watch Rasheed play. Great player but slightly overrated due to the fact that he was also a fan favorite. Now he’s just grabbing at straws to get any attention he can. Obviously a terrible take here.”

Anthony Edwards’ Bold Take On Michael Jordan

During an August interview with the Wall Street Journal, Edwards mentioned that Jordan was the only player in his time with extraordinary skills. Edwards suggested that Jordan didn’t face tough competition because of his skills. He also mentioned that the remarkable abilities Jordan showcased during his professional career are now common among NBA players.

I didn’t watch it back in the day so I can’t speak on it. They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don’t think anybody had skill back then. (Jordan) was the only one that really had skill, you know what I mean? So that’s why when they saw Kobe, they were like, ‘Oh, my God.’ But now everybody has skill. Anthony Edwards said.

Several NBA players and former legends have already weighed in on Edwards’ remark. It will be fascinating to see how many reactions the Timberwolves star gets.

 

Eagles Star Running Back Saquon Barkley Drops Bombshell IG Post Claiming He’s Joining A New Team, And Fans Are Suddenly In A Frenzy

Saquon Barkley has been one of the biggest stories of the NFL off-season. After being drafted by the New York Giants in the first round of the 2018 NFL Entry Draft, he signed with rival Philidelphia Eagles.

Barkley signed a 3-year, $37.75 million deal with the Eagles in free agency, causing some stir among NFL fans who claimed the former Giants star ball carrier was a traitor. However, there was plenty of motivation behind the move.

The Giants’ inability to compete was one of the significant factors in the move; however, according to the RB himself, Barkley may think that the Eagles will no longer be competitive after a post to his Instagram story.

In a screenshot uploaded to X by user MLFootball, Barkley’s post on his story reads, “Before anyone else reports it, I want you to hear it from me first. I’m about to join a new franchise… again. Big announcement tomorrow.”

Saquon Barkley Could Be Joining A New Franchise, And Philly Fans Are Not Happy

One fan clearly isn’t happy with the post after commenting that the star running back could stay loyal to the Eagles, while another NFL fan joked that he was headed back to New York to join the Giants.

Other fans were quick to point out that the message was just posted to promote a new brand deals. One fan put it, “gotta be a branding deal,” while another fan added “It’s a branding deal,” while calling the Eagles star smart.

So far, neither of the two has been confirmed by either Barkley or the Eagles. However, it seems more likely that he will join a new brand. It would be a very big story if he were to change teams, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
