Anthony Edwards, Coby White named Players of the Week

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.” -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
