Anthony Edwards - "Nobody had skill back in the day, MJ was the only one."

[Womb Raider]

Talk yo shyt ant man

nikka. Eye test. And the training regimen and equipment has been the same for like 20+ years, yet multiple records get broken in the Olympics every 4 years.

Look at the Lebron's and the Zions and the Wembys. These type of nikkas did not exist back then

So you cant prove it. Gotcha

My man said "eye test" when i asked the nikka to provide evidence to his claim

You cant make this shyt up

Your argument is dumb as hell to begin with.

There is no test to decide no shyt like that nikka, fukk outta here.

All you can do is compare what we already have. We have 7 foot nikkas bringing the ball up the court. We have track runners and gymnast doing shyt that nobody did before, track records get broken over and over again. From Michael Johnson to Donovan Bailey to Usain Bolt to the Noah nikka. nikkas are faster.

You need to prove your own point, which is stupid ASF to begin with.

Today is obviously more skilled. I won’t shyt on the past and say they were unskilled. But the average player is just better. It’s facts

 

[Red Money]

Exactly. I guess Steph Marbury and Ray Allen had no skills, either. Iverson and Kobe took elements from Reggie Millers' game. Guess he had no skill, either. Kevin Johnson and Tim Hardaway were skilless, too, I guess.

Yeah....Barkley, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett....no skills guys, lol.


Ant gotta sit this one out....he don't even know Jordan Era had overlap. He calling Grant Hill no skilled, lol.

They don't hear you tho

 

[Shutdown10]

He needs to start actually showing up in big games before he starts talking this shyt. Bro still plays like a knucklehead four years in.

Exactly! All his mouth is going to do is bring pressure on him much sooner than later, He's going to be the same one complaining when the pressure gets out of control when he continues to write checks his mouth can't cash.

Mothafukkas need to read a reference site, that has stats and facts to know that the NBA is actually smaller than the 90s, cause these opinions aint it

4 out of the 5 positions are shorter than they ever been since the 80s

• Point guards are the tallest they’ve ever been in league history. All other positions are the shortest since the 80s.

reference: 70 Years of Height Evolution in the NBA [4,504 players analyzed]

Anthony Edwards would be tiny for his position in the 90s, weight and height wise he would be getting bullied

Those heights from the past are inflated due to players being measured in shoes.

The NBA has been measuring barefoot since 2019, which is the only reason why the chart started going down.

MJ is 6’4.5” barefoot. He ain’t close to 6’6”. He’d be listed at 6’4” today.

Players today are bigger, stronger, taller, and more athletic then they’ve ever been in history. This isn’t even up for debate.

Ant's first sentence says it all:

"they say it was tougher back in the day...."
These kids are all pushing back from that overused narrative thrown at them day and night. Ant is wrong about the skills of yesterday's players but I don't blame him for shytting on those who CONSTANTLY shyt on young players today.

All this stems from the old back in my day critics who feel the need to constantly shyt on today's game, the youngsters are just returning the energy Both sides have some wild takes

If I was a young head today, I’d be saying fukk these old heads too

 

[Harry B]

I get what he’s saying.

There’s skills and there’s skills.

Today it feels like every single guard is nearly on the same high level. Not a lot of wow cause everyone is wow, might be like Kyrie who feels a bit wild but he’s always well rested.


But to use Jordan and say nobody else is stupid. That just means that Jordan was special. How are you unskilled if you’re not Jordan

 

[Mister Terrific]

Ant told yall old azzes and yall hot

 

[premier58]

Yeah....Barkley, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett....no skills guys, lol.


Ant gotta sit this one out....he don't even know Jordan Era had overlap. He calling Grant Hill no skilled, lol.

Its embarrassing and asinine. The tragic thing is alot of ppl are gonna agree with him.

 

[Koapa]

I hate this disrespectful azz era. You're shyting on legends. The NFL don't have this problem.

Yes this era is skilled as shooters and dribblers. It's hard comparing eras mostly because of rule changes. Every fukking team jacking up 75 threes a game.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

That fakkit stay running his mouth and saying some dumb shyt

Mans better stick to talking about gay dudes and sliding up in the same bussdowns every other cat in the league been in

 

[Leonard Washington]

What back in my day critic is Anthony Edwards responding to? This is just his own opinion (which is unfounded based on his wordd) i doubt he has anyone in mind when hes responding

Take your pick the critics are out there
