Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards reignited his criticism of older NBA players by criticizing the leadership approach of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards sparked dozens of national headlines for his comment about the lack of skill in older eras of the NBA outside of Michael Jordan.
Now, Edwards' latest comment toward Jordan and another legend completes the checklist of critiquing every retired player. The Wolves guard spoke with Interview Magazine's Chris Tucker about Jordan and Kobe Bryant 'went at their teammates.' "I can agree to disagree, because in today’s game everybody’s different. You can’t talk to everybody the same. You got to talk to players differently,""Certain players can take it. I talk to some of my teammates like, “Hey, get your shit together.” But some players, you got to go talk to them on the side. You can’t really cuss them out in front of everybody."
Edwards is Minnesota's leader at just 23 years old, meaning he's quite credentialed to speak on the subject. He walks around with respected confidence while also seemingly knowing how to approach each of his teammates.His former comment about the lack of skill in older eras drew responses from the likes of Magic Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Isaiah Thomas.
