Edwards emphasizes that modern players today possess more skill than past generations, suggesting that historical figures like Michael Jordan are exceptions rather than the rule. This opinion has sparked criticism from legends.
Magic Johnson responded sharply to Edwards' comments by stating that he won't engage with players who haven't won championships, emphasizing the importance of rings to validate a player’s opinions.
Isiah Thomas cautioned the public regarding the power of propaganda, suggesting that narratives around skill evolution should be viewed skeptically, especially in the context of current versus past players.
Thomas further elaborated on his views, asserting that the strong emphasis today on 3-point shooting creates an illusion of superior skill, rather than reflecting any fundamental evolution of athletic ability.
