Here is the complete statement:
“Listen to what I say on national television. When I see Anthony Edwards, I see in the making Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. He is special. I will fly to Minnesota to watch him. He is at the box office. Right now, he isn’t at their level, but he is coming. He is special!”
Anthony Edwards was the first pick overall in the 2020 NBA draft. He was picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves and has rarely missed a game for them. Last season, he started in the 86 games he played for the Timberwolves (regular and playoffs) and averaged 25 points per game.
Similarly, in the 2024–24 season, he has averaged 26 points and 5.0 assists per game. He is 22 years old, and if he keeps this consistency in the upcoming seasons, he won’t let Stephen A. Smith down.
