Magic Johnson to Anthony Edwards: ‘Don’t attack all the old-school guys when you haven’t done your homework’

March 17, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Magic Johnson: “Anthony Edwards is the most exciting player to watch in the NBA. If you look at him and you look at Ja Morant, they’re probably the two. And then, of course, Kyrie. Those three can just put on a show. You watch them, and you’re like, ‘Whoo!’ But when Anthony Edwards said this summer, ‘Oh, nobody’s ever been as athletic as me in this league. Nobody could jump like me,’ I was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about?’” “Don’t attack all the old-school guys when you haven’t done your homework. First of all—Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. Dr. J. Clyde Drexler. David Thompson, even before all of them! They could all fly. So slow down, bro. Slow down. That’s why I had to hit him with the reality check. I said, ‘Look, man, talk to me when you’ve won something.’ You show respect. That’s all—just show respect. I don’t go at nobody. That’s not who I am. But if you attack us, like, ‘Oh, the game wasn’t exciting back then,’ then I gotta come back at you.”

Minnesota beats Utah 128-102. Anthony Edwards had 41 points in 31 minutes. Jazz turn the ball over like crazy (22), also only force 10 from MIN. Sexton led Utah with 22 points, Kessler had 15/19. – 9:14 PM

Anthony Edwards is 4-for-4 (10 points) to open the evening and the Wolves are up on the Jazz 17-5 in the opening minutes.

Lots of conversation recently about the future faces of the NBA. #Magic’s Paolo Banchero was asked about himself and Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards in that group:
“I think it’s great. Two young talented players trying to lead their teams. I love playing against Ant.”

Anthony Edwards finally missed a free throw where he yelled as the ball was on its way to the basket. No longer 100% in that stat on the season. – 8:12 PM
