Magic woke up and chose violence lol bro wasnt showing that multi million dollar smile this time 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
FACTS!!!!!😂😂😂😂😮😅😅😂😂😂😂
I dont blame him
You forget he's now a billionaire. So it's now a billionaire's smile 😁.
exactly. how you gonna be 6’9 running the point at an ALLSTAR, CHAMPIONSHIP level - and not be skilled?! impossible.
Magic has no time for this B.S. So he made it simple. Not responding to anyone who hasn't even won anything. Kudos to him.
Same one who thought he could beat Mike 1v1 lmao stfu
@@geraldking9385 Mike is the GOAT. Magic is not a 1 v 1 player. 🤡

Magic Johnson is usually polite I know he wasn't playing when he brought up high school and college championships 😂
Burned him good with the HS one lol 😂
Yep
@@frostedflakes55he didn’t burn him with that cause he did win state championship
😂😂😂😂
I don't know what Shannon Sharpe is talking about. Today's players are not as skilled as past players, and it shows up big time in the playoffs. Anthony Edwards was lost in the playoffs at times he didn't even know where he was at. And that statement about better coaches now, Who! Pat Riley was one of the greatest coaches of this era, as well as Phil Jackson, and they have the records to back it up.
It’s crazy how these young kids got nerve to even comment on NBA basketball of the 80s&90s and never seen any of them play ball.😂😂😂😂
Gen Z's sum it up their motto is "Im done with 90's" yet they are the one keep on bringing it
Everybody does that. You always hear guys discrediting Wilt and Russell etc..

This era will not age well for the next generations. Luka and Jokic are historically great players. Yet, because they are slow and bad-bodied, the generation that doesn't see them play live will not appreciate them, and generation of the era as a whole.

😂😂😂
Ervin is the smiling one. Magic is the killer.
Magic pulled rank on the young gun. Respect the OGs
And Magic NEVER talks down on the young/current players. Ant is a great player but he's running his mouth to much
Magic got tired of these young Gen Z players disrespecting the older generation of players. That's why he chose to speak out.
Old heads disrespect young players all the time they just don’t cry about it like old heads do
@@deadflies4265 the reason why old heads criticize younger players because younger players don't care much about the game.
The only old head that keeps it real is Larry Bird. He even went out of his way saying most of the players today are way more skillful and talented than his generation.

What about David Robinson. A Hall of Fame center who had handles, run the fast brake w/ or without the ball, and is an all time great defender. Any trippin but they trippin too. Never hear his name mentioned when the Greats are brought up
Robinson was never on magics level. He was never in the goat convo. It was magic and bird, then magic and Jordan. That’s it.
This shows Ant not a student of the game, age isn’t an excuse.
But he is, he's an exceptional student of the game, we're winning the whole thing next year
Yes it is an excuse. He’s young. That’s like saying age isn’t an excuse for kids not being mature.
@@jackboy8139 when I was younger than him playing HS ball I knew that generation had several talented people beyond just MJ. I would watch some old footage. So it’s no excuse. If you’re a student of the game you’ll know
@@jackboy8139All the greats are on youtube, not giving him a pass when its easily available to him.

@@slapjones1959And? That's not an excuse.
Anthony Edwards admitted in a recent interview with Kevin Durant that he didn't even watch basketball as a kid or even a teenager. The only player he did watch when he got older was KD. So if he barely watched basketball as a kid in the 2010's, there's no shot he knows anything about what the league was like in the 20th century. All he knows about the NBA before the year 2000 was Jordan was the best and everyone else apparently was trash. Extremely ignorant statement 😂
Clyde Drexler was supremely skilled
Y’all do realize Ant is 22 years old, he wasn’t even alive to see Mike play. This is one you just laugh off and say “ok” just like I do when my daughter tells me she’s moving out whenever she gets mad
If everything is better in 2024, why can't the players play 82 games? Why do they have load management? 😂
Before they took break due to injury. Today they take break because they need to rest 😂
Knowledge. Evolution
Because they are not on steroids like them dudes back then
Soft
because they are running twice as much. They're bodies start rigorous training at far earlier ages. The pay for massive skill boost is the durability. Lol yall hop on to be so funny but arent
this younger generation is very disrespectful
arrogant....overpaid......aswipes
They're retarded
That’s why I separate myself from my peers and my generation
And stupid Shannon sharpe is part of the problem with this Lebumb blames nonsense
They grew up in front of tablets they don't know how to properly socialize
Mad Dog wouldnt hesitate to bring up Bob Cousy in a heartbeat lmao
If a player from today's game went back in time with the exact same skill set, they would average 4 points a game, simply because you're not allowed to travel or palm.
This is the second time I’ve heard Stephen A insinuate that Kobe entered the league after Vince Carter. Kobe - 1996 / Vince - 1998
lol when was the first time?
Kobe became what he became after Vince had already made his name. But you’re right. Vince came in after Kobe.
Rewatch the video my friend. He spoke in context of who came after Jordan. Yes, he mentioned VC before KB, but he spoke in context of
@@chucky36 Kobe might not have "arrived" into who we know him as today until about 2000, but by his 2nd season in 97-98, he was an all-star, an NBA dunk champion, and widely drawing comparisons to MJ. He was on "the map" before Vince even entered the league.
Vince Carter is the not even in the stratosphere as KOBE BEAN
Magic woke up on demon time 😂😂
Imagine seeing a magic type player in todays game post all the way up court he’s turning over the ball 6 times a game 🤣🤣🤣
🤣💯
@@DakiymaNot really we saw a pre-washed Ben Simmons make all nba teams and all star on the regular….

Tired of the disrepect from these young fools.
Magic is tired of guys my age disrespecting the past players
Yep
Fax and I’m only 19 so obviously didn’t see them play but what Edwards said is absolutely dumb ash
I'm pretty sure they tired of old heads disrespecting them
THEY HAVE NO RESPECT!!! SMFH 😡
yall be disrespectful lol
This doesn't even deserve a response, it's that ridiculous.
Back then was a dog fight now its a dog show😂😂😂😂

Stop making excuses for ignorance! If you say it, be able to stand on it!
Nah that's the problem, we leave to much b.s. unchecked and let folks say what they want without repercussions. Talk what you know, not what you feel
& he started off saying he literally never watched them play 😂
this guy is a lebron fangay for sure
Its weird because this is a basketball issue. You never really hear young football players dissing an eli or even vick, Chad Pennington. The NFL is more of a brotherhood sport where the NBA currently is like Instagram
They for some odd reason think they are better players than the ones before and thats just now how it works. THey think because htey have to do a million moves into a step back then a pump fake into a step through thats a travel is them being more skilled. When the difference is they are just allowed to do it. Rules use to work differently now they care so much about revenue they let alot go. They werent as many people shooting 3's ebcause 3's was still a fairly new concept for a shot. Its not that they couldnt shoot its just they used the data and math they had at the time and it was you should work for the highest percentage shot.
Facts
Because oldheads always hate on the new players
Because NFL isn't constantly compared to the older generation like the NBA is. The NFL IS NOT more a brotherhood sport at all.
Nba media did this by dividing players with these argument shows
And protecting one era while
Highlighting all small things in others
Imagine Ant on a court with Allen Iverson, someone please take his phone 😂😂😂
Its usually the younger generation who grew up on Lebron, KD and Steph who have no idea what they are talking about.
So, if this NBA is more skilled and have better nutrition and health than the past NBA, why cant they play a 82 game season???
Hmmmm….
Maybe it's the fact that they are so talented and skilled that their bodies are not good and strong enough to catch-up to those talents and skills.
@@AKDeVerait's that they're coddled and soft these days
Somebody is speaking common sense
Now is WEAK AF.
"people don't even know Magic Johnson's government name" 😂
Magic booty bandit Johnson is his government name
Yeah they do Earvin
Duh Earvin Johnson Jr. or do you prefer Earvin Magic Johnson Jr. either way dose it really matter
Clown comment
Cap
Old players don’t get tired of saying todays players wouldn’t start in their era and expect todays players to show respect
That wasn’t Magic speaking, that was Earvin speaking 😂
Skill is subjective when today you can’t touch anyone in soft era or it’s a foul
Easy for ant to score when no one allowed to guard him. When magic won, he would kill you with passing or shooting. No one could handle magic. Jordan took years to mature. Ant man not even close to magic right now.
Yall really gassed Ant into thinking he’s MJ when he’s really just an improved Lance Stephenson.
He's not even that 😂 he's a wannabe be KD that get tired by the 3rd quarter
Right
Facts!!! In fact if Ja Morant hadn't got into trouble, we wouldn't even being hearing about no Ant Man. Side-bar Ant Man is the weakest of the Avengers next to Hawk Eye.
You trippin
I wouldn't go that far, but Ant-Man said something really dumb
How to tell the world you're not a student of the game without saying you're not a student of the game 😂
0:59 bro Shannon Sharpe is literally 🗿 ong
😂😂😂
You wrong for that, bro!😅😂
He, is, niga-chad 🗿
Yoooo you got me over here dying 😂😂😂🤣😅
Lmao 😂😂😂
I went to see Ant play his senior year in high school, he came down here to Houston for a tournament and I knew then he'd be a 1st overall NBA pick. But his youth is showing again, and Magic rightfully put him in his place. Pump ya brakes young grasshopper... 👋 Magic won championships on every level in a 4 year span: high school state title as a senior, then an NCAA title as a sophomore, and an NBA title as a rookie. While being a MAJOR catalyst in all title runs. So Ant need to hush when greatness is talking. 😬🤐
Factsss even the guy he looks up to kd even said that when magic and these guys come around they are royalty. What is Ant attempting to prove.
Level of skill….yall old heads get too defensive. Before MJ came around NO ONE had an all around skill set. Players dont look at Magic for his dribbling, shooting, or nothing else but his playmaking/passing. Lets be honest too, the league in total…you take away Bird, MJ, Kareem, etc. The league would be sorry! Now sure Magic and showtime won but look at the competition. Now, everyone can shoot, everyone can dribble, etc. Thats actual skill when everyone in the league has that skill level and thats your daily competition. Now, Ant chose the wrong words BUT i do agree…If he cant say it properly then he shouldn’t say anything. Its a 50/50 everyone. But lets also be honest here too!
@@hectoronskie My man. Skill level has actually gone down, other than shooting. Shannon Sharp is not that bright. There's no evolution in 40 years, if at all. The players are not better now. You have outliers, Steph, KD, Lebron, Giannis, Jokic, Luka, etc. That's not better than Jordan, Magic, Bird, Hakeem, Moses, Isiah, Malone.
Ant Edwards would have 0 chance slowing down a Magic Johnson Fast break.
@hectoronskie wrong bro, just wrong. You know Magic could play every position right? Even played the title-clinching game at center during the Finals his rookie year.
That's his Dad who tf else he gonna say🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣
I disagree with Shannon's argument, he is trying to say all players today are more skilled than yesteryear and can shoot from distance etc...not true! Only a select few can shoot the rock like that and majority of the PG's that played in the 80's & 90"s had the same skills as today with the exception of Curry & Dame Dollar who shoot from 30 feet consistently.
This is what you get for gassing bro up before he even did anything 😂
I agree. This show and others put them so high on a daily that once an old head legend says some they take that take . Oh now its a conversation. What?
So beating Denver was nothing?
@@8ballP We know it's something but let's be real. No one was having this Mj comparison about Ant even last year or since the got drafted into the league. All of a sudden you win two series(albeit he played well) and you're the next MJ? Giannis, Lebron,Curry,Jokic, all of them have GOT multiple MVPs and a ring and they STILL wouldn't make that statement. That's doing a disservice to all the great players who played in MJ's era.
Exactly. That's the problem
@@8ballPno it’s nothing beating Denver didn’t win him a ring goofy😂😂😂

...and don't forget Wilt, Dr.J, Kareem, Earl the Pearl, Iceman Gervin, David Thompson, etc.
Don’t forget the all time Assists and Steals leader, John Stockton. Or….. and they’ll identify with this in today’s league where all they do is shoot 3’s….. Reggie Miller.
Grant hill was a different era but yeah you right
@@Mike-hy8cs not really, he got drafted in 1994. Half way through Jordan’s career
@bigc2626 Right but jordans era was the 90s. Grant hill was only a rookie and sophomore when jordan was winning chips already. Grant hill was basically someone whos prime was going to be from 99-2000s had he not had his injuries.
Ant say Magic immune system ain’t strong enough for him to respond too smh.
Man there was a lot of talented players back then Anfernee Hardaway, Shack, Nick Van Exel , Clyde The Glide, Dominique Wilkins etc......
SAS has blame in this too for comparing him to mj 😂😂😂
That's Shannon's underline way of trying to say LeBron is the GOAT, when he's not even in the top 5...my opinion!
If you say Lebron isn’t top 5 can’t take any basketball thing you say serious. Better off doing comedy
Cats these days would be crying about all the hand checking😂😂😂of the 90's.
There’s guys like Kd and Steph, magic and Jordan, that can score in any era. Then there’s guys like ant and Lebron, who do better when they run into defenders and ge 20+ freethrows a night.
Anthony Edwards must really be just saying stuff for attention, clicks, and views now cuz this statement he made here is ridiculous 😂
And his fans will agree with him no matter how ridiculous his statements are .. I’m a ant fan but when he said that I definitely disagreed

Patrick Ewing won 3 h.s state championships in Massachusetts he was the number 1 recruit entering college and had 1 college championship in 3 college finals appearances at Georgetown and lost in the NBA finals 2, making it to the Eastern finals 4 times.
Right! Ant ain't on Patrick Ewing's level. Plus, Magic said you don't get to talk about how skilled we were or what we accomplished when you haven't won anything in your entire basketball career!
I don't know if Anthony Edwards won a championship in High School, and quite frankly I don't care. Researching his HS resume isn't even worth the effort because it still pales in comparison to many of the greats he so effortlessly disrespected!
Right
Better put plenty of respect on Pat Ewing’s name. He was a beast!!!
Plus a great coach
Hoya Destroyer !
A legend sticking up for himself and not letting an unaccomplished 23 year old talk down on them? Unquestionably Magic said the right thing
Glad SAS named some underrated AF players like Connie Hawkins and Mark Price and Adrian Dantley. Lots more skilled guys back then than modern twitter trolls think.
you know something's coming if SAS will say " i love this brother"
What Edward’s doesn’t understand is that back then players played their role in the position they played. Today everybody shoot 3’s
Facts errbody is jacking up 3s. Very few ppl shoot mid range jumpers now. More tuff back then
Ok what’s your point? Players today are way more skilled
Social media has really tainted the “aura” that tv personalities have. Back in the day it was a special feeling to see your favorite people on tv. Nowadays you see them everywhere on social media.
Molly provided the most context: Ant admits he doesn’t know what he’s talking about by saying he never watched them.
Sounds like something JJ Redick said about plumbers and firemen.
JJ is online a lot. He got that from kids. Kids always bring up how an older player played against fireman because they tend to lose the argument
Shannon is making sure to hit his Klutch talking points gassing this era.
Exactly. These dudes just pop more 3s cus of The Warriors situation with Steve Kerr using Phil Jackson's Triangle Offense Plays on a Phoenix Suns/90s Indian Pacers style team.
After that everyone just started jacking up 3s and calling it skill. 😂
No. Richard Jefferson, Jason Richardson, T Mac, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, could ALL Jump as high or higher than Antman and have accomplished more. He really needs to shut up and actually do something that's RELEVANT 1st.

Agreed, but you have Isaiah Thomas in the wrong group. He won two Titles in the Bird/Magic/MJ era as a small guard with no potent offensive weapons on his team.
You miss one lol😂😂😂😂
@@Just_a_Reflection If you really think those Pistons had no other offensive weapons aside from Thomas, you are just as ignorant as Ant is and clearly need to watch those games in full.
@@Just_a_Reflection Dumars, Aguirre and Microwave were impotent offensive weapons? Even Laimbeer could hit the perimeter jumper if left open. And Detroit's defense, without help of Thomas, was top 3 rated both chips. They had the dirtiest, I mean most physical defense both years.
Loved hearing Mark Price name coming up, he was a problem!
You smaaaaart! 😂 Mark price would be steph curry in todays gm. Look at all his numbers! If he shot it as many times as steph he'd put up just as many as steph! The game is played for the 3 now so Price, Mahmoud abdul, drazen would all be insane to deal with. Not to mention Reggie, Mitch richmond, Glenn Rice guys who could flat out shoot!
Ant is basically saying that only mj would be a threat to him.
Grant Hill would cook him too
Raja bell would lock that kid up.
Penny hardaway too
Luka just outplayed him....badly
I don't think Shannon knows what veracity means.
I thought he said ferocity, at least that’s how he meant it. Still wasn’t that ferocious a comment to me.
Lol. You're a fool. He meant audacity loooool.
I think he is using it in a context to mean totally transparent truth/honesty without being held back by respectability politics.
Or how evolution works.
This man sent ripples thru the whole post NBA stars 😂😂😂😂
Magic said let me check this young fella real quick. Stop talking and win something.
I loved Jordan and think he is the goat but he wasn’t only skilled player in his era
Especially because of Hakeem Olajuwon. Dream was the only player that could hold his own against Jordan, in terms of skill, on both offense and defense. Olajuwon has the best footwork in NBA history.
Plenty of players could do so on both ends. Mike took many L's ppl act like mike didnt get 30 dropped on his head, dunked on, pocket picked etc! Hes human and he is the goat. But he lost more than he won! @@elbertrobles8784
Thank you EINSTEIN
Jordan wasn't alive to see wilt and oscar play really but he never disswd them
Huh?
@@dandychiggins6802Jordan never dissed the players that came before him even those that he ever seen play
@@MarvelousJP ok......finish your story. So what about it?
Of course he didn't. He wasn't ignorant and ignorance wasn't celebrated. Listen to how Ant talks.
George gervin said in a recent interview Jordan didn’t appreciate him at all and called him names. He has a lot of smoke for mike, look it up.
Back then they had nothing but skill. Today’s players are definitely more athletic but skilled? Come on now. Talent don’t mean skill.
80s and 90s gen, you over hype MJ, you don’t highlight anybody else but MJ, and you expect Ant to respect the old guard.
It’s mostly 90’s guys. 80’s guys many preferred magic. But magic lost too many years in his prime with the hiv issue or he woulda had 7-8 titles
It’s not that we overhype mj which is the stupidest thing I ever heard. He simply dominated the league in the 90s . 6 out of 10 yrs he won a championship. The last two yrs of the 90s he was retired and in 94 he took a yr and a half off. Ur boy lebron is on his 22nd yr and still hasn’t past mj😂.. Hakeem one two chips in the 90s and no current big man in the league is better than him. He would’ve worked them boys (pause)
Lol nice try
Do you think MJ would dominate nowadays like he did in the 90's with the level of the game now? No one will ever get his championship stats because everyone is more elite nowadays. @@bronxriverchinobrown2856
Players today are not more skilled. The defense is a complete joke today. Defense is a skill. Second, players today get away with alot bs. Breaking rules all the time. Also the game is super soft, The lane is always open because of the rules. 3 second rule. Like you people need to talk the truth. What i can say today players do better than 90s or 80s is the 3 point shooting. Thats it.
Only thing you mentioned was defense but zone defense was illegal back then 😂
They couldn’t shoot better
Couldn’t run faster
They took steroids nd cocaine 😂
What does the players in the 80s and 90s do better than the guys that played in the 60s and 70s? These young whippersnappers always think that basketball/the nba started in 1980, 1984. Better acknowledge the Bill Russell’s, Wilts, Jerry Wests, Elgin Baylors, Oscars, Kareem’s. Those are real goats. Not Jordan, not Magic, not LeBron, not Kobe, not Bird, Duncan. None of those guys were as skilled as those dudes. They’re not even as skilled as Bob Cousy. Yeah!
Are you not going to give them credit for being able to keep the lane open? The lane being open doesn’t happen for no reason. Ant couldn’t do what he needed to do because of the lane being closed all series against Dallas. Boston couldn’t do what they needed to do against the heat because of the lane being closed. I can name numerous examples
@@claymore4729
And LeBron isn't on the juice?🧐
You realize that the lane is open because of how players can shoot right? The only position that is “worse” than it was 20 years ago is centers. There are 2-3 centers in the past decade that would have even started.
In 30 years some 22 year old dude will probably say the same thing about todays players.
Don’t gotta wait 20 years. Steph curry been disrespected his whole career and he has owned so many players when he goes demon mode.
WE DONE WITH THE 90’s 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Someone flies way to high in the sky with a gold medal.
80s NBA basketball was the pinnacle of the league, no other era married athleticism, skill, flair and physicality like that period.
Definitely 80s wayyy better then the 90s
Edwards needs to work on his game and shut up!

How about you to back to work keyboard warrior
@@gavriilnick4225yup he choked and the excuses were he was tired at 22 yrs old he hasn't won anything in the league.
Facts
@@mkingadiffernce gawd I wanna see Steph curry put ant man out of his misery in a series so bad.
Magic is putting these young kids in their place.
When a wise legend speaks, everyone listens.
Ant just be talking, he's not to be taken seriously 😂
He will be.....magic beat aids when everyone else was dying.......
True, but that's the problem. He says so many really dumb things that soon no one will take him seriously. Bad look for a budding superstar. Time for him to grow up a bit and learn to think before he blurts out nonsense which he does all the time.
@@tompratt7125 he just turned 23. You never said anything stupid at 23......let alone in a comment section?
@@dandychiggins6802 No, I didn't say idiotic things every other day when I was 23. This guy says some of the dumbest stuff I've ever heard from a pro hoops player and he does it all the time.
@@tompratt7125 oh well. You'll get over it.
6:35 shut up molly and let shannon speak
Exactly I can’t stand her at all I stopped watching the show because of her. Always making extra comments and trying to be heard when no one cares about what she has to say. She ruined that whole segment didn’t let Unc cook.
I literally comment this all the time. There are so many women out there that have a sports background and aren’t just saying random stuff that nobody cares about and that has nothing to add to the segment. Like if you need a woman host there are plenty of better options out there. Molly just sits there and interjects with pointless stuff.
I was thinking the same thing
Na she actually added context to the quote and helped the debate…for once 😂
Show would be better without the Kardashian wannabe
Awesome video, looking forward to the next one!
The idea that Magic and Larry Bird weren't skilled is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Magic was like Rain Man, lol.
Given the context, I think he meant as skilled as MJ when it comes to scoring the ball. He stuck out like a sore thumb in comparison to everyone else when he came into the league. MJ was like 2015 curry. best analogy I can think of.
@@sindilacion Magic was better offensivley than Jordan. Jordan was a better defensive player being able to cover guards and bigs. Magic did better on bigs.
Straight up left out Scottie 😂
Shannon's treating Molly like "Just sit there n look pretty, the men is talkin."
This was super helpful, thanks!
Edwards comments were so ridiculous you can't even take it seriously. We ALL know MJs era was STACKED absolutely stacked with great players.
I like Ant but that was incredibly ignorant
