Favorite of specialists to be chosen in first position in the 2020 Draft, Anthony Edwards delivered a rather unusual opinion concerning the best player in history.
In a Draft class without a well-defined leader, Anthony Edwards is the one who stands out the most as a potential number 1 in the predictions of subject matter experts. The product of the Georgia college, author of a very encouraging freshman season (19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists), will undoubtedly land in the Top 5 of his vintage.
With such a status, it is logical to see him make a series of media appearances a few weeks before the big ceremony. Lately it’s Bleacher Report who unveiled his interview with Taylor Rooks, where the prospect qualifies in particular as the best hope of his age. He also had to name the best player in history according to him.
Usually it is between Michael Jordan and LeBron James that young talents decide, many being more affected by the King since he is the one they observe from a young age. But Edwards made an even more contemporary and surprising choice, since he nominated a player who does not even appear in most… of the Top 10 all-time.

(KD is the best) of all time. Because he is 2m13 tall and can do anything a leader can do. He makes people miserable when they have to defend on him.
Without any hesitation, the ultra-athletic rear chose Durantula over MJ and LeBron, despite the journalist’s disbelief. Born in 2001, Edwards saw during his adolescence the star of the Nets gradually raise his level, to gradually place himself as one, if not the best player in the world. A choice above all generational, therefore, and certainly emotional.
In a few months, Anthony Edwards will therefore have the opportunity to face his GOAT, in the person of Kevin Durant. There is no doubt that he will want to pull out all the stops against him, and that their first encounter will be unmissable.
